Combination Day Tour in Iceland. Quad biking adventure tour through the lava fields of Hellisheiði Mountain and Horse riding on the Icelandic horse through the lava fields of Hafnafjörður.
Trip difficulty: 2 out of 5 possible. Rated: Easy
We start the day at Íshestar farm where we saddle up and go for an adventurous horse riding tour. We will explore the lava surrounding Mt. Helgafell volcano and ride through lava fields and across beautiful hillsides to the old Kaldársel sheep corral or to Lake Hvaleyrarvatn. As we ride through this magical scenery you will see different formations in the rough lava and you might even be able to spot a troll or two. All riding is on excellent riding paths with the beautiful Bláfjöll Mountains towering above on the horizon. After the horse riding we will have lunch at the horse center to get some energy for the ATV action that awaits us.
We will find our 700 cc Yamaha Grizzly Quad bikes waiting outside our base on the Hellisheiði lava plateau. There we give you a short security talk and show you how the bikes function. From there we head out on a two hours ATV bike trip along the mountains and through the amazing lava fields of the Blue Mountains Range. Driving these powerful machines through the lava fields is a great way to explore the hills and mountains on the outskirts of the city.
This tour combines the stoic horse riding with our powerful quad bikes, a sort of Beauty and the Beast combo!
