Across the peninsula

This trip takes you through some of the most varied terrain on the planet. Often called "Iceland in Miniature," the Snæfellsnes Peninsula packs almost every iconic landscape in the country into one breathtaking region. On this adventure, we will ride native Icelandic horses from the southwestern corner all the way to the peninsula's northeastern coast. You'll witness awe-inspiring glaciers, ride across sweeping sand beaches, and wind through ancient lava fields. We'll cross ocean cliffs, splash through waterfalls and rivers, navigate rugged mountain passes, and gallop through oceans of blooming lupine fields. Our pace flows naturally with the changing terrain each day—from thrilling beach gallops and smooth tölt intervals to sure-footed mountain treks and peaceful coastal rides. Best of all, you get to return every single night to the comfort of our luxurious, all-inclusive accommodation.
