3 hour horseback riding tour – Geothermal valley ride
Geothermal Horseback Riding Tour
Discover Iceland’s unique geothermal landscapes on this scenic horseback riding tour near Hveragerði, the famous "Hot Spring Capital of the World." This adventure offers the perfect mix of natural beauty, geothermal wonders, and peaceful riding trails — ideal for nature lovers and first-time visitors alike.
Your journey begins with a ride up the slopes of Reykjafjall mountain, following well-maintained trails through a rare Icelandic forest — a hidden gem in a country known for its open, treeless landscapes. From there, the tour continues into a colorful geothermal area just above Hveragerði, where bubbling hot springs and rising steam create a surreal, otherworldly atmosphere.
Reykadalur valley horseback riding
This geothermal region expanded significantly after the 2008 earthquake and continues to evolve, making every visit a unique experience. As you ride along volcanic hills and scenic plateaus, you’ll enjoy panoramic views of the Varmá river — or “warm river” — fed by naturally heated geothermal water, and the lush valleys that stretch across the South Iceland lowlands.
Nestled between the volcano Hengill and expansive flatlands, this tour offers breathtaking views and a true taste of Iceland’s geothermal heartland.
