We ride long distances on golden sand at Löngufjörur beach, where only the tide sets a boundary to the freedom of horse and man. Witness the beauty of Snæfellsnes Peninsula while riding the Icleandic Horse.
Details
Löngufjörur Beach, a jewel of the Snæfellsnes Peninsula in western Iceland, is a stunning testament to the natural beauty of Iceland, with a view of the Snæfellsjökull Glacier, a majestic stratovolcano famous as the setting for Jules Verne's "Journey to the Center of the Earth."
This area is distinguished by its expansive wide-open, light-colored sand, where only the tide sets a boundary to the freedom of horse and man. The firm, flat landscape is perfect for experiencing the smoothest gait of the Icelandic Horse, tölt, making it a favorite among riders.
