HORSEBACK RIDING HOLIDAYS IN WESTERN ICELAND
We trail from Gröf through a magical, ever-changing landscape, from rough lava, over sparkling streams and rivers, to white sandy beaches until we reach Löngufjörur, one of the longest beaches in Iceland, at spring tide. At the time of spring tide, even more of the sand is exposed and the ground is softer. There we can ride for hours on the famous smooth gait tolt, unique to Icelandic horses, and the horses can really show their worth running free without any obstacles to slow them down.
Even though the tour is a roundtrip, and the horses stay on a field where we have stopped for the day, you’ll return each day back to the farm where you can enjoy a bit of luxury in our Lodge The Holy Ram. We have double & singlerooms with private bathrooms, a great hall with a cozy livingroom feeling, where you’ll have magnificient view of the glacier Snaefellsjökull and the beach.
Non-riders are more then welcome to join their partners, our farm Gröf is very close by the Snaefellsjökull national park, which is a great area to hike and explore. In the neighbourhood there’s a beautiful 9 hole golfcourse for golflovers, plenty of fish in the lakes and rivers for fishlovers, or just enjoy the peacefull surroundings of our farm with a wide variety of birds. Both around our guest house and further away, various species nest. Also on our fields we have wildflowers and herbs for naturelovers, take a walk to our beach or go up to our mountains to see the waterfalls and meet our horses along the way or just relax in the hottub and sauna.

Private tours and groups
Customized tours, get to know our horses, disinfection instructions from the icelandic food and veterinary authority.
Importing horses to Iceland is strictly forbidden. Due to the isolation of the country and the import ban, the Icelandic horse has been lucky enough to avoid most of the diseases horses in other countries can be inflicted with. Importation of used tackle, riding clothes or anything else which may be used around horses is also strictly forbidden unless it has been disinfected in accordance with law. See further on the Icelandic Food and Veterinary Authority’s website.

Snæfellsnes: Beach and Mountain Ride
This is a shorter version of the Snæfellsnes tour.
Experiencing “tölt”, the unique extra gait of the Icelandic Horse is made easy for you on this tour when we follow good riding tracks. The long stretches of smooth sandy beaches make this tour a delight for both horses and riders.
This horseback riding tour takes us through a landscape of extensive lava fields, craters, and ash from ancient eruptions in Hítardalur valley. We also enjoy wide-open stretches of light-colored sand at Löngufjörur beach, where only the tide sets a limit to the freedom of horse and man. The impressive 50-meter deep crater Eldborg is a distinctive landmark, where the light sand turns black once you reach its lava field.
- August: 31 - Sept 5
Horseback Riding Tour on stretchy beaches and beautiful mountains
The beautiful Snæfellsnes Peninsula extends far out into the Atlantic from the west coast. You can find many features of the Icelandic nature in this part of the country. We ride down to the shore and continue along the expansive beach. This traditional trail, only revealed when the tide is out, offers horse and rider an ideal opportunity to try their skill at “tölting” over long distances.
Participants on this tour join the longer Snæfellsnes Tour for the four last days.
- Individual travel insurance is not included in the tour price. We encourage clients to obtain relevant travel insurance before visiting Iceland.
- Flight to and from Iceland is not included.

Description
Get up close and personal with the majestic horses of Iceland with this one-hour horseback riding tour in the Snaefellsnes Peninsula. Travelers who want to embark on a wildlife adventure surrounded by breathtaking scenery should book this tour today.
Your day tour begins on the beautiful farm of Stori-Kambu, 120 miles (194 kilometers) from Reykjavik. The farm nestles in the southern shore of Snaefellsnes between the charming village of Arnarstapi and Budir hamlet. This is a meet-on-location adventure, so you must arrange your transportation separately.
Upon arrival at the designated meeting point, you'll meet your experienced and knowledgeable tour guide. They will provide essential safety instructions and ensure you're comfortably fitted with suitable riding gear.
To keep you entertained, the guide will tell you exciting stories, folklore, and trivia about Iceland as you explore around.
Before setting off, you'll have the opportunity to meet and interact with the Icelandic horses. Known for their gentle nature and unique characteristics, these horses are excellent riding companions and well-suited to the terrain. Your guide will help match you with a horse that suits your experience level and ensure you feel comfortable in the saddle.
As you begin your horseback adventure, the guide will take you through the stunning Hraunlandarif beach, nestling between Arnarstapi and Budir. Hraunlandarif is a picturesque coastal area in Snaefellsnes, famous for its vast stretches of golden sand with dramatic lava formations.
As you ride along the beach, take in the breathtaking views of the Atlantic Ocean, the rugged cliffs, and the distant mountains of the Snaefellsnes Peninsula. This awe-inspiring landscape will captivate you and provide endless opportunities for memorable photographs.
One of the most notable attractions here is the Snaefellsjokull glacier, towering at 4744 feet (1446 meters). On a sunny and clear day, catching a glimpse of this glacier-capped volcano in most areas of the peninsula is possible.
Besides the stunning landscapes, the guide will share fascinating information about the region's natural history, geology, and cultural significance, enriching your experience with their expertise.
The Hraunlandarif beach and its surrounding fields are home to diverse flora and fauna that thrive during summer. Your guide will point out unique plant species along the way, and if you're lucky, you might catch a glimpse of some local wildlife, such as seabirds or seals.
After an hour of horseback riding, you'll head back to the farm to return the horses, marking the end of this journey.
This tour is designed to accommodate riders of all skill levels, from beginners to experienced horse riders. Whether you are a novice or a seasoned rider, you can enjoy the sensation of riding a well-trained Icelandic horse, known for its comfortable gait and majestic appearance.
Prepare yourself for an unforgettable experience combining the Icelandic countryside's beauty with the thrill of horseback riding. Check availability now by choosing a date.

- Travel light. It's a little known fact, but the lighter you pack, the better for the environment as heavy bags will produce higher emissions (when flying a plane or driving a car!).
- Reduce plastic waste. Take your favorite reusable bottle with you. Avoid single-use bags, cups, or straws.
- Preserve nature. Always take your rubbish with you during the ride and recycle them. Leave all the flowers or plants as you found them, and never get too close when observing wildlife. Make sure to use eco-friendly products such as body wash or laundry detergent (if camping) to protect both your skin and the environment.
- Choose your experiences carefully. Respect animal life by not participating in any activities that abuse wild animals (shows, elephant rides, etc.).
- Support local populations. Buy local handicrafts, be respectful of customs, and learn about the culture of local communities.
- Share! Raise awareness among your family and friends about sustainable tourism.

With its volcanic black sand beaches and under the watchful eye of volcano Snæfellsjökull, the Snaefellsnes peninsula is one of Iceland’s most beautiful and emblematic sights, and is home to many of the Icelandic sagas. The 90-km long peninsula is even nicknamed “Iceland in Miniature” as many national sights can be found in the area. The Snæfellsjökull National Park , where you ride, can be found at the westernmost part of the peninsula, including the mystical glacier-capped volcano Snæfellsjökull.
A note on sustainable tourism: in 2008, the communities of Snaefellsnes Peninsula were the first in Europe to receive certification from EarthCheck, an international benchmarking system for sustainable travel and tourism.
