One of the things you cannot leave Iceland without doing is riding the Icelandic horse in its natural environment. There is no other horse that is as characteristic as the Icelandic horse and they are as comfortable as a horse can be. Riding into the Ásbyrgi canyon is something that is suitable for beginners and those who are experienced riders. The departure is from Gljúfrastofa visitor centre at 11.00 & 13.30 from June to September. Duration of the tour is 1,5-2 hours.
