You can choose to drive to the farm yourself, or you can choose to be picked up in downtown Reykjavík. Once you arrive at the stables near Lake Rauðavatn, your professional guide will select the right horse for you. Icelandic horses originated from Viking colonists and are adapted to the harsh environment, with a unique "Tölt" gait. The guide will provide free safety equipment such as helmets and thermal clothing, and then ride through the idyllic scenery, black lava fields and hills, accompanied by a professional guide for explanations throughout the journey.
