Dalvík Pferdeabtrieb

Meeting point in the morning at Eagle air airport in Reykjavík for the domestic flight to Húsavík. The flight takes about 45 minutes and the airport in Húsavík is located only 5 min. away from Saltvík farm. We pick our guests up at the airport and drive to The farm where the tour starts. After a short introduction meting with horses and guides in Saltvík, we saddle up and ride along the coastline of the arctic sea north of Iceland, amazing view out to the horizon where the arctic circle lies across the Island, Grímsey, 30 miles north of Iceland. We come back home to the farm in the afternoon where hot pools are waiting for us to relax in after the first riding day!

Today we ride across Hvammsheiði heath following perfect riding trails and in to the valley Aðaldalur where we cross the river Laxá at a passing where the river is about 100 meters wide! We end the ride at farm Aðalból where we leave the horses for the night and drive back home to Saltvík where we spend another night.

We ride in to the birchforrest in Vatnshlíð and enjoy the great view over the valley Reykjadalur then cross Fljótsheiði heath towards the beutiful waterfall Goðafoss where we leave the horses behind and drive to Svarfaðardalur where the roundups take place.

In the morning we saddle up and ride with the locals towards the roundups at Tungurétt, we whatch when the herd of 200 young horses come running down from the mountains and enjoy the atmosphere at the roundups where Icelanders come together, sing and enjoy life as well as separating their horses so each farmer can drive his own herd home to his farm in the afternoon.

After breakfast we drive with our minibus to Akureyri where we will fly to Reykjavík. We are in Reykjavík at around lunch.
