Landmannalaugar
14th–18th July 2025, 5 days, 4 nights.
This tour is available both for those who want to bring their own horses and for those who would like to borrow horses from us.
Our adventure begins in Gunnarsholt as we ride towards Rjúpnavellir. From there, we follow the river and end up in Landmannahellir, where we spend the night. The next day, we head to Landmannalaugar, where you can soak in hot springs and explore the area.
On the following day, we pack our saddle bags with lunch and ride over the mountain towards Hólaskogur, enjoying a fantastic day entirely immersed in the wilderness. Unlike the other cabins Hólaskogur offers a beautifully renovated cabin for our stay. On the final day, we ride back to Rjupnavellir and return to Gunnarsholt.

We set off from Landmannahellir, riding past the serene Frostastaðavatn lake.

For those who wish, a shorter ride around the lake on a single horse is an option, and later in the day, we can drive into the springs to continue the relaxation.

Once the total number of horses for the trip is determined, we will be able to provide a price for hay, which will be added to the final cost.
