Category:
Daytrip, available directly from Reykjavik in Iceland.
The trip starts at the horse farm of Vellir where
the first half of the day is spent horseback riding. This tour is designed
to give you a taste of Icelandic nature and the opportunity to get
to know the unique Icelandic horse. We provide all
the necessary equipment and a friendly horse that fits your skills. This
is an excellent way to explore a typical Icelandic countryside! Back at Hotel
Eldhestar your are served a refreshing fish soup for lunch.
After
lunch we go river rafting on Iceland´s most popular river, Hvítá. The
Hvítá has a perfectly balanced mix of beautiful canyons and heart racing
waves and rapids. We travel more then seven kilometers down the river
and at one point you will get a chance to jump from a cliff into the
arctic river. No one should leave Iceland without experiencing the power
of its rivers and the scenic canyons of Brúarhlöð in Hvítá are
something you will remember for a while. The rafting is suitable for kids 12
years and older and those who are too young still get to join the raft
