Nature´s Treasures and Rider´s Pleasures
2006

Horses and A Spa - A very pleasant hotel tour that combines riding with a very comfortable base at the Hotel Eldhestar. There are lots of choices - you can choose among the many riding trails around the Hotel Eldhestar, or relax with a little pampering at a Spa, or swim in one of the great hot water swimming pools in the area. The tour can be either 5 or 6 days long, (with 3 or 4 days of riding) and starts nearly any day.

There are a number of possibilities for the day's rides. The decision for where each days ride goes will accommodate both weather conditions and group riding skills and wishes.

* An exciting ride through the undulating valley of Reykjadalur with its unusual rock formations and many steaming hot springs where we also bathe in a gentle geothermal stream.

* A relaxing ride along the mountains Reykjafjall and Ingólfsfjall before lunch. In the afternoon we go to the health center for massage and/or and relaxing baths.

* A comfortable ride down to the river Ölfusá, towards the charming river delta. We ride through a local bird sanctuary, where we can get a closer look at a variety of Icelandic birds.

* An interesting ride into the narrow, geothermal valley Grensdalur, noted for its colourful and unusual mineral and mountain formations.

There is a visit to the spa included in the price of the tour and arrangements are easily made for more visits.

During your stay you can also enjoy great spa amenities through the medically certified national health clinic in Hveragerði. Here you can choose between a variety of spa treatments such as massage, healing mud and water treatments, steam sauna, swimming and much more.
