Horses and Glaciers - IMG03

Highlights

  • The Icelandic Horse
  • Beautiful Glaciers!
  • Ice Cool Glacier Walk

Price from:22.900 ISK

Imagine experiencing two legends of Iceland in one tour - riding an even-tempered Icelandic horse like the Vikings did and walking in the labyrinth of the Sólheimajökull glacier... all during the same day!

This tour starts with a 1.5-2 hours pony trekking / riding tour in the spirit of the Vikings. Where we go depends on wind, weather and the participants' riding experience. After a traditional meal that varies with the season, the tour continues towards the great Mýrdalsjökull glacier, one of Iceland’s largest. Here we put on our crampons and ice axes to discover a wonderland of ice sculptures, ridges and deep crevasses, hiding the deep blue colour of the glacier ice. A great Iceland combination- pony trekking and nature; a unique riding holiday.
