Embark on a tour perfect for adults and young riders with some experience

When you arrive at the farm, you will meet the whole herd of Lyngen horses. The herd consists of mares, foals and playful young horses. You will get to know the friendly Lyngen horses and connect with your assigned horse for the day. After this, you will bring your own horse back to the stable for grooming and saddling up, before going out horse riding. The guide will help you saddle up. After putting on a riding helmet, it is time to get up on the horse. The guide will adjust the stirrup to the right length for you, so you can horse ride safely.

Out of the stable, we horse ride along the quiet road, while you feel the fresh and cold arctic breeze in your face. You have the full sight of the amazing Grøtfjord and Lyngen Alps during the whole trip. If the conditions are right, we take the horses down to the beach. As we horse ride along, the guide tells about local history and events from the Second World War that happened right here where we are horse riding. The horse riding is approximately 60 minutes. Back at the stable, you take off the saddle, and thank your horse with a snack provided by the guide. For you, we have a warm drink and a taste of the local lefse.
