Horses and Glaciers - IMG03
Highlights
Imagine experiencing two legends of Iceland in one tour - riding an even-tempered Icelandic horse like the Vikings did and walking in the labyrinth of the Sólheimajökull glacier... all during the same day!
This tour starts with a 1.5-2 hours pony trekking / riding tour in the spirit of the Vikings. Where we go depends on wind, weather and the participants' riding experience. After a traditional meal that varies with the season, the tour continues towards the great Mýrdalsjökull glacier, one of Iceland’s largest. Here we put on our crampons and ice axes to discover a wonderland of ice sculptures, ridges and deep crevasses, hiding the deep blue colour of the glacier ice. A great Iceland combination- pony trekking and nature; a unique riding holiday.

Activities, Tours and Excursions
The Icelandic Travel Market offers tours, activities and excursions.
Tours include any kind of guided event, and this includes day tours and longer tours, activities and excursions.
Activities are usually smaller groups exploring one particular outdoor activity, sometimes on foot, boat or 4x4, and these include both day tours and multi-day tours.
Excursions are somewhere between a sightseeing trip and an activity, where you are taken in luxury to one or several Icelandic travel destinations where, depending on the excursion, you can be as active as you wish or just enjoy the amazing sights. Excursions typically include travel to and from a destination (or several) in a modern, luxurious bus.
Getting there - often, Icelandic travelers do not rent a car. Most activities and excursions can pick you up at your hotel or guest house at no additional charge. Many tours include meals and admission to attractions, providing more convenience and allowing you to focus on what you want to see and do.
