Icelandic Countryside Escape: Horseback Riding, Geothermal Soak, and Local Flavors


A gentle yet immersive Icelandic experience combines horseback riding, geothermal bathing, and traditional cuisine, offering a balanced day of activity and relaxation. Set in the scenic surroundings of southern Iceland, the tour is designed for riders of all levels and emphasizes comfort, safety, and connection with nature.


The day begins at Vellir Farm, where Icelandic horses are prepared for riders under the guidance of experienced instructors. Guests ride through open fields and soft trails while experiencing the smooth tölt gait, a signature feature of the breed. The journey unfolds across quiet rural landscapes shaped by volcanic activity, offering a calm and steady introduction to Iceland’s countryside. Safety equipment and weather-appropriate riding gear are provided throughout the experience.


After the ride, the focus shifts to relaxation at the geothermal swimming facilities in Hveragerði. Here, guests can soak in naturally heated hot pots or unwind in steam saunas, surrounded by crisp Icelandic air that often contrasts dramatically with the warm waters. In winter months, the setting becomes especially atmospheric, with snow enhancing the contrast between heat and cold in a uniquely Icelandic way.


The experience concludes with a light lunch at Hótel Eldhestar, featuring fresh, locally inspired dishes with options for different dietary needs. With convenient transport, provided gear, and a carefully paced itinerary, the tour blends outdoor adventure with restorative wellness. The result is a well-rounded Icelandic day that leaves guests refreshed, grounded, and connected to both the landscape and local culture.
