This combination of tours “Viking Horse Riding Tour” and the "Gulfoss & Geysir Express" tour is for those who are short on time but still want to make the most of the time they have.

Our tour begins with a scenic drive over the mountain Hellisheiði as we make our way towards Selfoss. We’ll visit Seljalandsfoss Waterfall and take a walk into the rugged gorge of Stakkholtsgjá.
The main attraction here is Þórsmörk (Thor’s Woodland), a nature reserve shielded on three sides by glaciers and mountains. The area has a multitude of small gullies and valleys, clad with low birch-trees that create seemingly endless possibilities for the nature lover.
The glacial melt-off forms rivers that have to be crossed on the way to Þórsmörk and some days the crossing is quite challenging or even impossible. In a matter of hours, an innocent stream can become a thunderous river.
Our skilled drivers are very experienced in these driving conditions and will safely traverse the rivers. This trip is truly unforgettable for the nature lover at the heart with lots of hiking. During the hardest winter months, it might not be possible to access Þórsmörk. In this case, we’ll visit Vík village and the magnificent Skógarfoss waterfall.

Available throughout the year, this tour takes you to unique sights of Iceland’s most spectacular lava tube caves and craters.
We’ll enter through narrow cave entrances and find they reveal an extraordinary scenery filled with wonderful colors and lava formations. These beautiful, natural phenomena were created when the surface of lava flow hardened and the fluid lava continued to flow in tubes underneath.
You’ll also see natural stalactites and rock formations in this truly an indescribable experience. The caves become wide and high and in many places, the floor is quite even. However, the trip can be quite difficult so bring good walking shoes/hiking boots suitable for uneven lava surfaces.
Respect for nature and safety are our main concerns. There are NO handrails, lights or any pre-installed tools in or around the caves. We rely entirely on the equipment we carry and expect all visitors to respect our guidelines. This tour is suitable for all who can walk on uneven surfaces and who are capable, at times, of crawling on all fours.
