The suggested circle of the fjord offers amazing sceneries but it really only is doable for very fit and experienced bikers. The place itself is amazing, the negative rating is only for the difficulty and the fact that the Belgian guy doesn't describe at all...More

We met up before our ride in the charming Simbahollin café in the town of Thingeryi and then were told the short route to drive to the Stables. The friendly guides took time in selecting the right horses for our experience and size and had...More

We were a mix of beginners and experienced riders, so the Sanda River valley two hour tour seemed perfect for us in that respect - the guides were nice and of course the horses were gorgeous. But... unlike other riding tours we've done in Iceland,...More
