Combine two essential Icelandic experiences is one fun-filled day with this horseback riding and Golden Circle bus tour that includes hotel pickup and drop-off in Reykjavík.

Relax on the drive to the Laxnes Horse Farm where you will be introduced to Icelandic horses, a unique and docile horse-breed.

Your instructor will select the perfect horse for your and get you set up with the necessary riding gear. Ride for 1.5-2 hours over hills and through lush fields, and make an easy river crossing. After your horse-riding tour, get back on the bus for your Golden Circle tour. Admire Iceland´s most popular natural wonders like the UNESCO World Heritage site Thingvellir National Park.
