We continue the adventure by crossing a couple of wild rivers (Varmá and Gljufurá),until we reach the Hraun farm, where we end up our 1st day of the tour.

After the ride customers are being brought back to their accommodation, where they are able to rest and power up for the upcoming riding day. 

Day 2Once again, we start the ride between 9.00 and 10.00 in the morning. However, the starting point this time is Hraun.We continue our riding journey through Eldborgarhraun - an open lava field area, through rocky, rugged and volcanic terrain of þrengslavegur, Eldborg, Lagaskard, and Lagastigur mountains until we reach Hveradalir. We move towards Litla-Reykjafell mountain and end up our journey in Kolviðarhóll. Surrounded by volcanic mountains and lava valleys, customers are able to discover the richness of nature. Numerous mountain paths lead off into the spectacular landscapes. Furthermore.

Day 3 We saddle up and take off in Kolviðarhóll where the riding initiates through open lava field area until we reach a 25-year-old gas station on the mountain, up there we take a short coffee break. After exploration, we continue our riding journey through lava field all the way until we come across The Rauðhólar, unique natural phenomena of red lava hills on the south-eastern outskirts of Reykjavík. The pseudo craters were formed when molten magma ran over wetlands about 5000 years ago. The diverse red color of the rocks is due to oxidation, which is similar to the rusting of metal. After the riding through stunning red lava formations, we head back to the new stable of Solhestar, which is situated right next to the capital of Iceland, Reykjavik.
