During this popular winter tour participants engage in multiple half-day tours and take a break for lunch at the hotel, where they can enjoy soup and coffee. The tour also includes visits to notable attractions such as the Gullfoss waterfall, Geysir hot springs, Thingvellir National Park and whale watching. Essentially, the tour combines horseback riding with exploring the stunning natural wonders of South Iceland. Additionally, guests can opt to unwind in Hveragerði's renowned swimming pool or the hotel's hot tubs during the evening.

The riding tours can be combined differently in the most enjoyable way for the participants, according to both weather conditions and group riding skills.
