Set in the famous Golden Circle region, this ride makes the perfect introduction to horse trekking, including a taste of the wild and vast highland interior. Spend your days traversing green valleys, mountain passes and even crossing wide salmon rivers then enjoy the evenings in cozy farm guesthouses. In addition to being a beautiful ride in one of Iceland's best known natural areas, you have the advantage of staying in only one place during the ride, eliminating the need to pack and repack each day.
