The bright night phenomenon in Iceland, known as the Midnight Sun, is one of the country's most unique features. This 3-hour tour takes you on a horseback riding adventure through the East Iceland wilderness area. Bathed in the golden light of the Midnight Sun, you'll experience unspoiled nature and uncover historical, off-the-beaten-path spots.
Your adventure begins at the Wilderness Center (Óbyggðasetur Íslands), where you'll meet your thick-coated companions. Icelandic horses are renowned for their friendly, calm nature and large personalities. Riding them through untouched wilderness is a freeing and memorable experience.
The first stop on our journey is the abandoned Kleif farm. Your knowledgeable guide will reveal the stories and rumors about this mysterious place. You'll be able to sneak inside the old farmhouse, breathing its history and culture.
Next, we'll arrive at the Jökulsá, Iceland's second-longest river, where the adventurous can take an authentic cableway to the other side. This thrilling experience gives you a bird's- eye view of the river's rushing waters.
Back at the Wilderness Center, you'll have some more time to pet your new furry friends and thank them for the ride.
Yes, the weight limit for this adventure is 100 kg / 220 lbs. This is of course with the welfare of the horses in mind.
