Although the summer is still with us, we can feel the winter approaching. The northern lights season has slowly started and sooner than we think, we will be riding through frost covered landscapes.

VOLCANIC ERUPTION
On August 24th, the 9th eruption began on the Reykjanes Peninsula. Like previous eruptions, international flights are not affected and Keflavík International Airport is operating as usual.  Eldhestar is located in a very safe area, far from the volcanic activity. Our guests, staff and horses are perfectly safe.

WINTER PROGRAMS
Those that have not decided about their holiday destination for upcoming fall, winter and spring, should know that Iceland with its northern lights, magical golden hour, frosty or snow covered landscapes and amazing riding paths is always a great choice! 😊 

Tour 8B – Nature’s Treasures & Rider’s Pleasures (4 nights) and Tour 8E – The Northern Lights Grand Tour (5 nights) combine horseback riding and activities such as relaxation at the local swimming pool, Whale Watching and Golden Circle sightseeing tour. Those that would like to learn more about how to ride Icelandic horses, might be interested in Tour 30 – Winter Riding Course (3 or 5 nights).
