Eldhestar Riding Tours and Country Hotel in Iceland
At Eldhestar we have developed our activities since 1986 to combine pleasure, comfort and adventure in a way respecting nature. Our farm is located in the heart of Iceland’s south-western countryside, only 30 minutes´ drive from Reykjavík. The unique location between volcanic mountains, rivers and the ocean enables our guests to experience diverse and fascinating nature.
We offer a great variety of riding tours all year round, ranging from half day tours to 5-7 days horse trekking in the highlands with a herd of free running horses. We have up to 350 horses at our farm in summer and 60-100 in winter.
Hotel Eldhestar offers accommodation in a cozy countryside hotel with a luxurious atmosphere, featuring 27 rooms, a spacious restaurant, conference facilities, free Wi-Fi and hot tubs. Colors and materials in Icelandic nature, genuine craftsmanship and old tradition inspire the interior of Hotel Eldhestar, which was the first lodging in Iceland to receive the Nordic Swan Eco-label.

Last Day in Iceland! - Horseback Riding, Viking Settlements, Hot Springs
This documents are last day in Iceland! We went horseback riding, visited a viking settlement (replica) and found a lovely hot spring pool to relax in before our flights the next morning. I realize I forgot the name of the hot spring in the video! Sorry about that... It's called The Secret Lagoon in Fluðir. Here is their site:
So glad to have experienced a small taste of what Iceland had to offer. We hope that we get the chance to go again some day!
If you haven't watched this series from the beginning, we broke down this trip into 6 different videos documenting each day. Don't miss 1-5!
Thanks for watching!

Iceland - Roll the Dice (Bikepacking in Iceland)
Watch in 4K
Narrated poem by Charles Bukowski Roll the Dice (read by Tom O'Bedlam) - check out his Youtube channel for more of his moving voiceover poems. This poem has meaning for me and I hope it has for you too.
A three week bikepacking trip in Iceland in July of 2018. Started in Reykjavik - Pingvellir - Husafell - Hveravellir - Laugarvatn - Landmannalaugar - Porsmork - Hella
I initially wanted to do a short documentary film about crossing Iceland from end to end but my Rode mic failed on day 3 so I almost gave up on filming. Anyway this is put together the best I can from whatever muted clips and drone footages I got.
Hardest day was between Husafell - Hveravellir which took me 25 hours straight, 100km of hauling ass, crossing the wet, icy, unridable muddy, mountainous, windy F road. The road was closed off for good reason but I unchained the fence and entered it anyway. Bike chains and disk brakes seized from all the icy mud. Cycling was not possible, the plus sized tires sank through the mud, and it was a hike-a-bike for the length of it. Shoes were wet, and feet were cold. Severe storm blanketing Iceland as weather alerts are being issued. Tiredness and panic sets in. I replaced 2 pairs of wet socks and ended up using a waterproof winter socks as an emergency pair. Not fun at all and outright dangerous.

Snæfellsnes 2013 - (Short Version) Images of Iceland on horseback by Bill and Cori
A shorter version of our original Snæfellsnes video. This one is a little over 3 minutes. The original was a little over 8 minutes.
Although this trip was with Ishestar at the time, it is no longer run under the same management.
The Icelandic Horse is unique with its special gait of tölt that can be seen in this video. Images were captured over a 6 day period of riding. The landscape varies between lava fields, grassy fields, and long stretches of beach.

Viking Horse Riding - Iceland
Iceland is a unique country unlike anything i have seen. The beautiful landscapes, untouched nature, friendly people, and nature make it one of the best countries to visit.
One of the most important things to do in Iceland is to Ride the Viking horse because it is a once in a life time experience. Viking Horses are shorter than the Arabian horses but are very peaceful. You can see many wild horses as you ride your car.
