About

A pleasant ride destined for the abandoned farm Kleif where we will take time to absorb the beautiful surroundings and have a look into the old farmhouse. Those daring can try their hand at towing themselves across the Jökulsá River by a traditional cableway. 
Riding an Icelandic horse is something you have to experience at least once in your life. Moving on horses in the wilderness is for those who want to live out exclusive freedom. After the ride, guests can feast on an exquisite buffet in the kitchen of the Wilderness Center. We select each horse with riders enjoyment and safety in mind.


Please have in mind that the entire experience takes 3 hours, including choosing and saddling the horses and stop at the abandoned farm.
