Rides

The Highland Trails vary from two to seven nights, taking you away from everyday life and into the highlands of Iceland. Accommodation is in guesthouses or farmhouses, with made up beds, so provide a more comfortable adventure for those not wishing to pack a sleeping bag. Some of the trails are suitable for intermediate riders and above, whilst others require a more experienced rider.

The shorter rides are great as a stand alone short break, or work well as part of a longer stay in Iceland.

This charming, family owned and run informal ranch really gives you the feeling of the Old West. At the foot of the ruggedly beautiful Tucson Mountains, adjacent to the Saguaro National Park, ranch hospitality is blended perfectly with the comforts of a top resort.

On each night you stay in a spacious ger with made up beds rather than the more basic tents of other trails. These more luxurious trails are in the Khan Khentii Special Protected Area north-east of Ulaanbaatar. A comfortable adventure!
