Red Lava Riding & whale watching
Red Lava Riding & Whale Watching
This tour starts with about 5-7 km horseback riding, length depending on the experience of the riders. It is suitable for beginners and for more experienced riders as we can choose between routes in the area. We will either ride on a beautiful and smooth riding path along the Redhills or, for a group of more experienced riders, we will ride by the scenic lake Rauðarvatn. On both routes, you will enjoy natural riding paths and a wonderful setting for horseback riding where you will get to know the friendly Icelandic horse. Total tour duration is 2,5 hours,1,5-2 hours riding.
After riding in Reykjavík we will drop you off at the harbor for the boat trip (Whale Whatching)
Whale watching departure point is our ticket office in the Old Harbour of Reykjavík. We will take you out in to Faxaflói bay or nearby area, wherever the whales and their food is abundant and where the probabilities to see them each time are good. In summer we are likely to encounter Minke whales, harbour porpoises and dolphins and in winter we can expect to see larger species such as Humpback whales and even Orcas! On board you will find all facilities you may expect, such as indoor saloons equipped with toilets and an on board café where we sell light refreshments. If the weather is chilly you may even grab one of our warm overalls for lend on board, a rain jacket or a blanket. After the tour you will be driven back to your hotel in the Reykjavík area.
