ICEE.is Brings Icelandic Horse Experiences Within Easy Reach of the Golden Circle

ICEE.is (Icelandic Equestrian Experience), based in Reykjadalur valley in Hveragerði, offers guided horseback tours and stable visits with Icelandic horses just off the Ring Road, a short drive from Reykjavík and directly on the route to the Golden Circle.

The location is a practical asset for trade partners building South Coast or Golden Circle itineraries. Hveragerði sits roughly 45 minutes from Reykjavík over Hellisheiði and works naturally as a first or last stop for groups heading toward Þingvellir, Geysir and Gullfoss, or continuing on to the South Coast. ICEE.is also offers customized rides to Þingvellir itself, allowing operators to combine a horseback experience with a Golden Circle highlight in a single day.

The product range is built for flexible itinerary planning. A one-hour private tour in Reykjadalur suits all riding levels and slots easily into a half-day stop, while a two-hour tour in the Ölfus area (available March through December) offers a longer, more immersive option for groups with time to spare. For non-riders or mixed groups, stable visits provide a lower-commitment alternative: hands-on time with the horses, photo opportunities, a children's arena, and refreshments including hot chocolate, coffee and kleinur.

Icelandic horses, whose smooth tölt gait and even temperament make them well suited to first-time riders, a relevant point for operators serving family and mixed-ability groups.

For trade partners, ICEE offers a way to add an authentic, low-logistics equestrian element to South Iceland itineraries without detouring far from the Golden Circle route.
