    Hotel Eldhestar

    - Day Tours

    At Eldhestar, we have developed our activities since 1986 to combine pleasure, comfort, and adventure in a way that respects nature.

    Our farm is located in the heart of Iceland’s south-western countryside, only a 30-minute drive from Reykjavík. The fascinating area around the volcano Hengill, with its beautiful valleys, hot springs, and the chance to bathe in natural warm water, is the origin of our name: Volcano horses – Eldhestar in Icelandic.

    We offer a great variety of riding tours all year round.

    You can choose between half-day tours, day tours, combo tours including riding and other activities, and multi-day tours lasting 2-7 days of riding. For experienced riders, we offer the adventure of 6-7 days on horseback in the Icelandic highlands, accompanied by a herd of free-running horses.

    We have up to 350 horses at our farm in the summer and 60-100 in the winter, ensuring we do our best to find the ideal horse for everyone.

    For groups, we offer a Horse Show, presenting the Icelandic horse’s historic role and its unique qualities as a riding horse for everyone — reservation required!

    Hotel Eldhestar offers accommodation in a cozy countryside hotel with a luxurious atmosphere, featuring 54 rooms, a spacious restaurant, conference facilities, and hot tubs. Colors and materials in Icelandic nature, genuine craftsmanship, and old traditions inspire the interior of Hotel Eldhestar, which was the first lodging in Iceland to receive the Nordic Swan Eco-label.

    We also offer accommodation in a guesthouse with shared facilities for up to 19 people.

    Our guests can relax in a beautiful and peaceful environment, explore fascinating nature with the Icelandic horses during the day, and enjoy comfortable accommodations, delicious food, and drinks in a cozy atmosphere in the evenings.

    We emphasize personal service, safety, and environmentally friendly operations. Eldhestar is a participant in VAKINN, Iceland tourism’s official quality and safety label.

    Please contact us for prices and booking information.
