Sophie’s Private Riding Excursion
Join Sophie and her horses on a private horseback riding adventure through the stunning Þjórsádalur valley.
Upon Request
Sophie has become well-known as our guide and spouse of our farmer Hannes from Kálfhóll farm and both have operated our Golden Circle, Landmannalaugar tour and more for years. She manages and operates the well-known Instagram account “icelandwithsophie.” and has over 40k followers who are interested in life on the farm and the adorable Icelandic horses.
Join Sophie and her horses on a journey through the picturesque Þjórsádalur valley. We will visit three of the valley’s most notable sights – Hjálparfoss, Stöng, and Gjáin, which was featured in Game of Thrones. We will ride on sandy paths and, weather permitting, catch a glimpse of the fourth highest waterfall in Iceland, Háifoss, in the distance. This is one of Sophies personal favorite routes in the region as the landscape is truly breathtaking. It was formed by multiple eruptions from the nearby active volcano Hekla. Sophie is excited to share this private tour with you and to provide in-depth information about the history and natural wonders of the area.
Included: Horses, helmet, rain gear and riding gear. Lunch – An upgraded sandwich, Kókómjólk, Apple/Banana, and a water bottle for lunch.
