The riding trips start at our farm Bjarnastaðir which is located in beautiful Ölfus South Iceland. We offer riding trips both for experiencend riders as well as guests with no riding experience. Nearly everybody can book a horseback ride with us, you do not need to be a guest at Cora´s House and Horses, but you should be in good physical condition and not be weigh more than 90 kg/198 lbs. We don´t have fixed times for the tours and each tour can be customized which means that we can adjust the time and the length to your wishes. If you have special ideas, just ask and we will find a way to make it possible.

The shorter trips either go on the top of the mountain behind our farm with a great view over the Ölfus area or along lava fields with sight on volcanos such as Hekla and Eyjafjallajökull. Trips longer than 1h or 2 h usually go to the river delta and lava fields. The day tours can go to the river delta or to the beach.

We operate our tours all year around, in summer as well as in winter so you can take a trip with us no matter at what time of the year you visit Iceland. In winter our tours have a maximum duration of 2 hours.
