Active North

One of the things you cannot leave Iceland without doing is riding the Icelandic horse in its natural environment. There is no other horse that is as characteristic as the Icelandic horse and they are as comfortable as a horse can be. Riding into the Ásbyrgi canyon is something that is suitable for beginners and those who are experienced riders. The departure is from Gljúfrastofa visitor centre at 11.00 & 13.30 from June to September. Duration of the tour is 1,5-2 hours.

Anna, the owner, operates a small business but this offers a personalized tour. She is a wonderful guide and her property is located next to fabulous scenery. There is sitting on a horse in a meadow and then there is riding a horse along rivers, overlooks and big sky. The Icelandic horses are smaller than american versions, Anna's were also experienced and as such would be safe for anyone - rookies, younger riders and older folks. She did let us trot with a little more speed a couple of times and we crossed the river a few times as she felt comfortable with our riding skills. Experienced riders will appreciate the views and the river crossings, rookie riders will love the safe feel of these horses and the ease of Anna's handling of the group, highly recommended!

MTB Husavik

Hi, my name is Reynir Hilmarsson, a passionate and experienced born and raised Icelander. I have a passion for the beauty Iceland has to offer and have explored the mountains and hidden gems of Iceland since I was a boy. My love for the great outdoors and sharing the experience with both adventurous daredevils and families looking to take in the beauty, led me to leaving my career to start this business. I offer both mountain bike tours to accommodate all levels and jeep rides out of Husavik!
