Soft River Banks
2 - 2.5 hour horse riding
In this tour we'll follow the Ölfusá River to an old cemetery and continue down through the meadows. From there, we have a view of both the river and the volcano Hekla. We proceed through the bird sanctuary and make a short stop before returning to Vellir.
Our staff review is: "A very nice horse riding tour for the beginner or intermediate horse rider. You'll get the chance to experience the beautiful nature and get to know the Icelandic horse. An adventure suitable for everybody."
Our staff also tried out the Below the Mountains tour and highly recommends that one for more experienced riders.
