About Tour

Enjoy a scenic ride to the abandoned farm of Kleif, where you’ll have the opportunity to soak in the stunning views and explore the old farmhouse. For the adventurous, there’s a chance to try crossing the Jökulsá River using a traditional cableway.

Riding an Icelandic horse is a unique experience that offers a sense of freedom in the wild landscapes. After the ride, you’ll be treated to a delicious buffet at the Wilderness Center’s kitchen. Each horse is carefully selected to ensure both your enjoyment and safety.

Please note that the entire experience lasts 3 hours, including the time spent choosing and saddling the horses, as well as the visit to the abandoned farm.

Good to know

  • The minimum age for this tour is 8 years.
  • The weight limit for the tour is 100 kg (220 lbs). Unfortunately this limit is non negotiable due to animals and your safety.
  • We take safety very seriously and therefore require everyone to wear a helmet for the entire duration of the tour.
  • Please be at the stable, dressed and ready to ride, 15 minutes before your departure time. This allows time for you to be signed in, get a helmet fitted, and a run-through of a quick demo/safety briefing so that everyone is on the horses and ready to leave on time. 
  • It rains a lot in Iceland so it is good to be prepared with raingear, but please avoid ponchos or big, flappy coats that may scare the horses.
  • Cancellation policy: 
    – Cancellation fee of 100% if booking is cancelled 4 days or less before event
    – Cancellation fee of 75% if booking is cancelled 7 days or less before event
