Combine The Wonders Of Whale Watching With A Scenic Icelandic Horse Riding Adventure In Nature


This combo tour offers a perfect day for nature and animal lovers, blending a marine wildlife excursion with a traditional Icelandic horseback riding experience. The day begins with a shuttle service from the hotel to the Old Harbour in Reykjavík, where guests embark on a whale watching cruise. Exploring the waters of Faxaflói Bay, participants have the chance to observe whales and various seabirds in their natural habitat, providing an exciting start to the day's activities.


After returning to the harbor, the tour transitions to the countryside for an afternoon of horseback riding with Íshestar. This activity is designed for riders with limited experience, making it accessible for families and beginners who wish to interact with the sturdy and friendly Icelandic horse. The riding paths wind through beautiful natural landscapes, allowing participants to enjoy the serene environment while learning about the unique characteristics of this famous breed, which is known for its gentle temperament.

Participants are picked up from the bus stop nearest to their hotel, ensuring a stress-free experience from start to finish. The combination of the morning cruise and the afternoon ride provides a diverse perspective on Iceland's natural beauty, showcasing both the rich marine life of the bay and the rugged charm of the island's interior terrain.


Safety and accessibility are prioritized throughout the tour, with specific guidelines regarding age and weight to ensure the well-being of both the riders and the horses. For those seeking a more challenging riding experience, the operators are available to assist with alternative arrangements. This full-day adventure is an excellent way to experience the best of Iceland's wildlife and equestrian culture, creating a balanced and memorable itinerary that highlights the unique connection between the Icelandic people and their environment.
