You want to discover all the variety of Iceland, but for all that you don't want to skip through each areas ?

Imagine viewing the colourful mountains in Landmannalaugar and remote highland grasslands on the Egilsstadir, where live reindeers, during the same trail ride.
Or a real expedition in the course of which you will cross the island from the South to the North on the Kjölur trail, to explore later the extreme North, around the Lake Mývatn…

HORSES AND REQUIRED RIDING LEVEL

 

The Icelandic horse is world-famous for his gait, the tölt, fast and comfortable, that allows covering long distances without tiredness.
Moreover, during our rides, each rider has several horses that he rides in turn, the others following the ride in freedom. Limited tiredness for each horse, and pleasure to ride among a heard of fifty horses or so in freedom for the riders.

These trail rides are the most difficult we propose in Iceland, it is necessary to have already experienced several times trail rides in quite tough environment and over more than 10 days.
From 5 to 8h on horseback a day (30-50 km).
The guide is responsible for your safety, therefore he can ask you not to ride if your riding level is not sufficient for this ride.
For your safety, we recommend always to wear a riding helmet while on horseback.

See our special information sheet on Icelandic Rides.

Randonnées équestres en Islande, à cheval sur des poneys islandais au milieu d'un troupeau de 60 chevaux en liberté - découvrez le tölt - Rando Cheval / Absolu Voyages

 

LENGTH

16 days / 15 nights or 15 days / 14 nights depending on programs, 11 or 12 riding days.

 

LANGUAGE

English.

 

GROUP SIZE

From 10 to 20 riders. Given the fact that we always move with a substantial herd of horses in freedom (on average 70 to 90 horses) in immense areas, a more substantial group than in our other destinations is not a handicap at all.

 

ACCESS

Reykjavik airport

 

CLIMATE

The rigour of the Icelandic climate, which has formed the immense spaces that you cover, only allows the trail rides from June to September. However this period is really ideal seeing that the sun shines during the best part of the day.

 

Formalities
Check with your local Embassy according to your nationality.

Vaccines-Health

No specific vaccination, we recommend you to be up to date concerning your usual vaccinations, in particular for the tetanus vaccine.
Remember that a repatriation travel insurrance is compulsory.
Compulsory disinfection of your used riding equipment - leather forbidden (Protection of Icelandic horses from diseases absent from the island).
