Description - What to expect

Experience the best of both worlds with this incredible horse-riding combo tour in Reykjavik. Begin your day with a 1.5-2 hour horse riding adventure with Eldhestar in the morning, followed by an exhilarating puffin-watching express tour in the afternoon.

Approximately one hour later, you'll step aboard our beautiful traditional Icelandic oak boat, specially designed for optimal puffin watching.

During your horse riding tour with Eldhestar, you'll discover the enchanting world of Icelandic folklore. Elves, known to inhabit Iceland, play a significant role in shaping the landscape, deciding where roads can be built and houses can stand. As you ride, you'll pass by the small cleft Alfakví and the old sheep house, both of which hold deep significance and cannot be disturbed without serious consequences. Along the way, you'll have ample opportunities to experience the renowned tölt, the smooth and unique gait of the Icelandic horse, on excellent tölt paths. Concluding the tour, you'll be treated to a delicious light lunch at Hotel Eldhestar.

Upon your arrival at the harbor (around 13:00), we encourage you to take a leisurely stroll and immerse yourself in the wonderful ambiance of this captivating area in the heart of the nation's capital.
