The Sea Horse – Horse Riding & Whale Watching Tour
Feel free to contact us
Description
The Sea Horse combines two classic Iceland experiences in one easy day: a guided ride on the Icelandic horse and a whale watching tour from Reykjavík. It is a lovely option if you want countryside charm and ocean wildlife without choosing between them.
The horse riding part is beginner-friendly and introduces you to Iceland’s famously sure-footed horses. Later, the whale watching cruise heads into Faxaflói Bay in search of whales, dolphins, porpoises and seabirds.
This tour is especially good for families, couples and first-time visitors who want a varied day with animals, nature and Reykjavík convenience.
