Mr.Iceland
Horseback ride and dinner with a Viking! Efri-Úlfsstaðir, our farm, is located right in the center of our greatest Saga: BrennuNjáls Saga. Arriving at our farm, you will be a part of our history, and you should also feel part of it. When we ride our horses, we ride on 1000-year-old tracks that the Vikings used to ride. We drink from the same river and look at the same mountains as the Vikings did. The horses are the foundation of all our tours, but our Saga, food, and insight give you a very special experience not to be found anywhere else.
Herríðarhóll Reittouren
Herríðarhóll is a successful horse-breeding farm and is very well located in the south. We offer short riding trips from 1 hour to several day rides, small groups, and individual guided trips in German and English. Our horses are mostly of our breed and are well trained, and our surroundings between a lake and river offer stunning views. Please get in touch with us directly. Accommodation is available in new cottages and cozy double rooms with breakfast and dinner. A bath in our Jaccuzzis in the garden is excellent for preparing you for the next ride. We have been operating since 1996 - you are welcome!
