Eldhestar Volcano Horses

About

Eldhestar Volcano Horses offers the most varied horse‑riding experience in Iceland, welcoming riders of all levels since 1986. Located just 30 minutes from Reykjavík, the tours take you through volcanic craters, lava‑field meadows, hot springs and the dramatic Ölfusá River corridor. Whether you join a half‑day adventure, a full‑day exploration, a 2‑5‑day multi‑day ride or a winter “Northern Lights” expedition, every itinerary is guided by multilingual Icelandic horse experts who share folklore, geology and local culture. The accommodation options—Hotel Eldhestar, Evershot Guesthouse, or self‑catering farm stay—provide a cosy end to each riding day, with hot tubs, on‑site dining and an eco‑friendly ethos that protects Iceland’s pristine environment. With 350 horses trained in the classic Icelandic trot and tolt, every visitor leaves with a sense of peace, a deeper appreciation for Icelandic nature, and memories of riding on a national treasure. Whether you’re an adventure seeker, a family looking for a unique excursion, or a culture enthusiast wanting to experience Iceland’s wilderness and heritage together, Eldhestar Volcano Horses delivers a holiday that feels both intimate and unforgettable.
