Your host will welcome you on the official starting place of the tour, Egilsstaðir domestic Airport from the morning flight from Reykjavik.

From there we drive scenic route along lake Lagarfljót, to the Wilderness Center with a short break at the Vatnajökull National Park exhibition. After lunch, we take a pleasant ride destined for the abandoned farm of Kleif where we will take time to absorb the beautiful surroundings and have a look into the old farmhouse. Those who dare can try their hand at winching themselves across the Jökulsá river by a traditional cableway.

Every night after dinner guests can soak in the hot-spring or relax in the old style sauna.

After local breakfast we ride out of Norðurdalur, passing many small farms. One of them is the last farm in Iceland that still uses turf houses as sheep stables. Then we head into the beautiful Suðurdalur valley until we reach our destination, farm Flöt at the bottom of the valley.

After the ride, we experience the adventures of the Wilderness through visual and award-winning exhibition about the history of life in the Wilderness. After dinner, we play some games and sing a few songs.

From Suðurdalur valley we head up to the heath east of the valley and get a feel for the highlands.

Then turn north down Gilsárdalur, with impressive canyons. We leave the horses in the forest at Buðlungavellir. and head back by car to the Hengifoss waterfall trail.

Hengifoss is one of the highest waterfalls in Iceland, measuring 128 m falling from the plateau into a magnificent gorge. There is a colorful rock face surrounding the waterfall showing different layers from volcanic eruptions in the Tertiary period when Iceland was formed. It takes 40-60 minutes to walk from the parking lot to the waterfall. On the way is another astonishing waterfall called Litlanesfoss. It is crowned by exceptional high basalt columns making it totally unique and photogenic. Then drive to the Wilderness Center for dinner and having a relaxing time.
