Northern Tours Iceland

The North of Iceland is best known for its great natural sights and beautifully varied landscape. Our tour leads from Saltvík Farm near Húsavík to the Lake Mývatn area, known for its volcanic features and countless numbers of wild breeding ducks. An optional whale watching tour concludes the circle of natural highlights on and off shore.

Our hosts on this tour are Bjarni Páll and his wife Elsa. Bjarni Páll or his friend Sævar will lead most of the riding tours. They both take special interest in geology so you can expect to learn a lot about the Icelandic nature! A visit to picturesque Goðafoss Waterfall is just one of the many highlights on your first day in the north. We ride along soft riding tracks ideal for riding at a “tölt”, the unique gait of the Icelandic horse. From fertile farm land we turn towards the Gæsafjöll Mountains and spend a night in a cabin at Theistareykir, a place with bubbling hot water and white clouds rising to the sky from the steam vents.

Through an area covered with cracks and fissures from earthquakes and volcanic activity the route leads towards Lake Mývatn where boiling mud pools and eerie lava formations remind you of the active volcanic energy hidden beneath. We can take a relaxing soak in an outdoor bathing facility with hot geothermal water in Jarðböð. The next riding days will take us from the black sand deserts of Hólssandur to the forested hillsides at Vatnshlíðarskógur. Our last riding day is over Hvammsheiði Heath and towards the shore, offering a terrific view of Skjálfandi Bay before we get head home to Saltvík Farm. After this amazing tour in the continually changing landscape, we can relax in outdoor hot tubs with a lovely view over to the ocean and the Kinnafjöll Mountain Range.
