The southeast of Iceland is a region where nature’s raw power meets breathtaking beauty. Here, you will experience Iceland’s elements in an intimate and profound way. Dominating the landscape is Vatnajökull, Europe’s largest glacier, its icy expanse stretching as far as the eye can see. Our journey takes us along its mighty presence, weaving between glaciers, black sand beaches, and rugged mountains, offering a stunning contrast of fire and ice.

The first half of our adventure follows the glacier’s edge toward the remote district of Lón, a hidden gem nestled between the gabbro mountains of Vestra-Horn and Eystra-Horn. This area serves as a perfect interlude between the glacier and the wild Eastfjords. At the heart of this region lies the historic farm of Stafafell, which stretches from the ocean to the highlands.

Throughout our ride, we traverse colorful landscapes, from volcanic sand dunes to lush river valleys, experiencing the ever-changing beauty of Icelandic nature. We will stay each night at Stafafell Hostel, a charming lodge built by the last priest of the region in the late 20th century. Hearty Icelandic breakfasts and dinners will be provided, while snacks, sandwiches, and drinks will be available throughout the day. The host of this tour is the horse farmer Gunnlaugur at Silfur hestar Stafafelli.
