Horses & Puffins

This comfortable package includes a 1.5-2 hour horse back riding tour with Eldhestar in the morning. After your tour you will be dropped off at Reykjavik’s Old Harbour, a beautiful area of Iceland’s capital, filled with numerous amenities such as cafes, design shops and museums. Approximately an hour later you will board our beautiful Icelandic Oak boat, perfect for puffin watching tours.

On this tour, we offer the best riding routes available each time. Depending on weather and wind, we ride in the scenic surroundings of our farm, for example across the river Varmá and through a lava field area, ending on good riding paths in the meadows south of our farm. At the end of the tour you are invited for a light lunch at Hotel Eldhestar.

When arriving at the harbor (around 13:00) we recommend strolling around and enjoying this wonderful area of the nation’s capital. Your Puffin Express tour sails at 14:00.
