Why it's on Icebreaker

Sólhestar

Sólhestar keeps two stables. The Reykjavík one, on Surtlugata, rides out among the red lava hills at the city limits and around lake Elliðavatn or Rauðavatn: 2.5 hours in all, 1.5 in the saddle, with pick-up from town if you ask. The other is in Hveragerði, by Reykjadalur, the steaming valley most visitors walk up from a packed car park. From there you can ride 1.5 hours among the geothermal vents, beginners welcome, or, if you already ride, take the four-hour tour up to the warm river and get in it. Facilities there are minimal, so bring swimwear and a towel. Overalls, boots and coffee are provided. Riders must be ten or older, fourteen for the river tour.

From the Icebreaker app, curated with The Reykjavík Grapevine.
