South Iceland Horseback Ride: Black Sand Beach & Glacier Views

What makes this tour special is the chance to experience Iceland’s dramatic landscapes from the saddle of a traditional Icelandic horse. Ride across the striking volcanic black sands of South Iceland, with sweeping views toward the Westman Islands and Eyjafjallajökull glacier-volcano.

Icelandic horses are known for their gentle temperament, sure-footedness and uniquely smooth gait, making the experience memorable for both first-time and experienced riders. Horses are matched to each rider’s experience level, allowing you to relax and take in the wild coastline, open landscapes and ocean views at a comfortable pace.

Rather than simply visiting Iceland’s famous black sand scenery, you get to experience it on horseback — combining Icelandic nature, culture and one of the country’s most beloved animals in one unforgettable ride.
