Day by day itinerary - South-North

Saturday: Arrival in Iceland – Keflavík Airport – Reykjavík
Transfer from Keflavík Airport to a hotel in the Capital area. We invite you to a Welcome Meeting including traditional Icelandic soup. Receive details of your tour and meet your fellow riders.

Sunday: Reykjavík – Thingvellir – Geysir – Gullfoss – Kjóastaðir Farm
We drive to Kjóastaðir Farm, visiting the historical site Thingvellir and the well-known Geysir Hot Spring Area on our way. The ride starts off towards the majestic glacier Langjökull onto Haukadalsheiði heath. We leave the horses at Sandá River for the night. On our way back to Kjóastaðir Farm we stop at the beautiful Gullfoss waterfall. The night is spent at the farm. (30 km)

Monday: Kjóastaðir – Sandá – Árbúðir Mountain Cabin
Our ride continues along the slopes of Mt. Bláfell. This area was roamed by outlaws in the old days. To be on the save side you might want to take a little stone along today as a special token for safety during the ride. You might need it later today... We cross River Hvítá and enjoy the view to the glacier fed lake Hvítárvatn with its floating icebergs. Tonight we stay at Árbúðir, situated right at the banks of river Svartá. (35 km)
Optional (available at an extra charge): Boat trip on Hvítárvatn Glacier Lake Enjoy the white ice field of Langjökull glacier up-close. We drive to a floating pier and board a boat that will take us on a scenic sail around the lake. A short stop is made at the glacier and we get to walk along the shore and touch the mighty ice field before sailing back. While sailing and on land a tour guide takes care of our safety and informs us about the area. Bring with you: Warm clothes and good hiking shoes. Total duration, approx. 2,5 hrs. Price per person ISK 8.000

Tuesday: Árbúðir – Hveravellir Mountain Cabin
We ride along the glacier fed river Fúlakvísl through huge rugged lava fields of Kjalhraun that the sure footed Icelandic horses master with such bravery. During the ride we enjoy splendid views of the glacier Langjökull. We leave the herd for a couple of hours to enter into the world of Thjófadalir, or Valley of Thieves, a grassy valley surrounded by high mountains, a true oasis in the wilderness. On to Hveravellir, a unique geothermal area between Hofsjökull and Langjökull glaciers. A natural hot pool invites us to a deserved relaxing bath. (45 km)

Wednesday: Hveravellir – Strangakvísl Mountain Cabin
This day will be a very special one, since we cross the large glacial rivers, Blanda, Svartakvísl and Strangakvísl on our way to the North. No need to worry, most Icelanders would rather choose a trusted Icelandic horse than a vehicle to cross a river! The location of tonight's mountain cabin offers great views of the big glaciers behind you and towards the high mountains of the North ahead of you. Up to mid July the sun hardly sets in this part of the country. (30 km)

Thursday: Strangakvísl – Galtará Mountain Cabin
Today it is easy to see that we follow a historical route, since large man made stone cones accompany us through a desert of sand and stones. All the way back to the early settlement of Iceland, people travelled on horseback on exactly the same trails as we do today. Imagine being part of a chieftain’s family, all dressed up and riding the best horses on this historical route. From the mountain cabin Galtará we can overlook the big manmade lake Blönduvatn. In August this is a perfect spot for berry picking! (25 km)

Friday: Galtará – Aðalmannsvatn – Lauftún Holiday Farm
We descend past beautiful Lake Aðalmannsvatn towards the fertile Mælifellsdalur valley in the Skagafjörður area. Enjoy endless herds of horses grazing on striking hills. In good weather conditions you can see all the way to the Atlantic Ocean at the North coast. Good riding tracks give you the opportunity to enjoy a fast ride in the soft tölt! We end the day at Lauftún Holiday Farm with a hot pot heated with geothermal water. (45 km)

Saturday: Lauftún Holiday Farm – Reykjavík
Transfer back to the Capital area for the last overnight stay. Approx. return at 14:00.

Sunday: Departure from Iceland – Reykjavík – Keflavík Airport
Transfer by bus to Keflavík Airport in time for the return flight home.

North - South

Saturday: Arrival in Iceland – Keflavík Airport - Reykjavík
Transfer from Keflavík Airport to a hotel in the Capital area. We invite you to a Welcome Meeting including traditional Icelandic soup. Receive details of your tour and meet your fellow riders.

Sunday: Reykjavík – North of Iceland - Galtará Mountain Cabin
Transfer in the morning from Reykjavík to the North of Iceland where staff and horses are waiting. Today is our first riding day and long one as well. We ride through the fertile Mælifellsdalur valley and ascend up to the mountain plateau Eyvindastaðaheiði. We ride round beautiful Lake Aðalmannsvatn on soft trails and enjoy the splendid view we have of the highland mountains around us. We stay overnight at the mountain cabin Galtará, overlooking the huge man-made lake Blönduvatn. In August this is the perfect spot for berry picking! (45 km)

Monday: Galtará – Strangakvísl Mountain Cabin
Today it is easy to see that we follow a historical route since large manmade stone cones accompany us through a desert of sand and stones. All the way through the centuries back to the early settlement of Iceland, people travelled on horseback on exactly the same trails as we do today. Wouldn´t it be nice to travel back in time for just a day and to be a member of the ancient families, dressed up in their best clothes and riding their best horses for the big get-together in South Iceland? The location of Strangakvísl Mountain Cabin offers superb views over the glaciers in front of us. Up to mid-July the sun hardly sets in this part of the country. (25 km)

Tuesday: Strangakvísl – Hveravellir Mountain Cabin
This day will be a very special one, since we cross the large glacial rivers, Strangakvísl, Svartakvísl and Blanda on our way south. But no need to worry, most Icelanders would rather choose a trusted Icelandic horse than a jeep to cross rivers like that! We continue to Hveravellir, a unique geothermal area between the glaciers Hofsjökull and Langjökull. A natural hot pool invites us to a deserved relaxing bath. (30 km)

Wednesday: Hveravellir – Árbúðir Mountain Cabin
We leave the herd and ride through the Valley of Thieves, called Thjófadalir, a remote grassy valley surrounded by high mountains. From the entrance of the valley we have a splendid view over the fertile landscape. When we re-join the herd our ride leads along the vast lava fields of Kjalhraun. Today we pass through the Gránunes area. The area was names after the horse Grána and you will hear about the tragic stroy which happened centuries ago. Following the glacial river Fúlákvísl we enjoy the view of the mighty glacier Langjökull. The day ends Árbúðir Mountain Cabin. (45 km)
Optional (available at an extra charge): Boat trip on Hvítárvatn Glacier Lake Enjoy the white ice field of Langjökull glacier up-close. We drive to a floating pier and board a boat that will take us on a scenic sail around the lake. A short stop is made at the glacier and we get to walk along the shore and touch the mighty ice field before sailing back. While sailing and on land a tour guide takes care of our safety and informs us about the area. Bring with you: Warm clothes and good hiking shoes. Total duration, approx. 2,5 hrs. Price per person ISK 8.000

Thursday: Árbúðir – Kjóastaðir Farm
We follow river Svartá for a while before crossing the river Hvítá. Our ride continues along the slopes of Mt. Bláfell. During the last centuries, travelling through the remote highland was a dangerous trip due to outlaws waiting to rob the riders. No wonder superstition was a common thing. To be on the safe side you might want to take a little stone along today as a special token for safety during the ride. You might need it later on today… We leave the horses behind and drive to Kjóastaðir Farm where we spend the next two nights. (35 km)

Friday: Kjóastaðir – Gullfoss – Geysir – Kjóastaðir Farm
We saddle up again and ride to majestic Gullfoss waterfall, following the canyon which was created by water for parts of the ride. After we return the horses to their home meadows at Kjóastaðir Farm it is time to explore the Geysir hot spring area. We will also enjoy a relaxing bath in the warm geothermal water of an outdoor swimming pool, before a hearty dinner. (30 km)

Saturday: Kjóastaðir - Thingvellir - Reykjavík
We say good-bye to our guides and return to the Capital area. On our drive back to Reykjavík for the last overnight stay we visit the historical site Thingvellir, Iceland’s first National Park. Approx. arrival at 13:00.

Sunday: Departure from Iceland - Reykjavík - Keflavík Airport
Transfer by bus to Keflavík Airport in time for the return flight home.

Tiedostot

Palaa takaisin ajassa ja ratsasta pitkin historiallista Kjölurin ratsastusreittiä, jota muinaiset islantilaisetkin käyttivät matkatessaan Thingvelliriin yli tuhat vuotta sitten perustetun parlamentin istuntoihin. Vierailemme tällä historiallisella paikalla, joka tunnetaan nyt paremmin luonnonpuistona. Ennen kuin jätämme asutetut alueet taaksemme, pysähdymme Geysirin kuumilla lähteillä ja ihailemme Gullfossin upeaa vesiputousta. 

 

Matkareitillä etelästä pohjoiseen tai toisin päin koemme ja näemme paljon! Ratsastamme läpi hiekkaisten autiomaiden Langjökullin ja Hofsjökullin jäätiköiden tuntumassa. Suojaisat vihreät laaksot yllättävät vehreydellään. Hveravellirin tuliperäisellä alueella nautimme lämpimästä vedestä keskiyön auringon alla! Tällä suositulla ratsastusmatkalla pääset näkemään Islannin ylänköalueen parhaat palat.
