European Vacation Services: Travel to Iceland

Self-driving 4x4, horseback, and adventure tours in Iceland
"Iceland adventure travel could be as simple as being driven around by a professional guide to see things you’ve never seen before. Or you could help drive a herd of loose horses through the wilderness for hundreds of miles. There are lots of choices in between for both travel and for adventure.
And the choices continue - horse back riders can choose between traveling through barren and monumental wilderness areas or they can take "the easy way out" riding through gentle farmlands with nights in comfortable country hotels. You can drive through most of Iceland quite comfortably in a family sedan, and 4 WD rentals and wilderness coach tours make the wild parts of this fascinating land accessible to all. The open landscapes and the purity of Iceland air and water are all just amazing.

Myvatn area of Iceland
"Elda Travel Services has operated excursions since 1979 and offered accommodation since 1982.

Our experience and knowledge of the area ensures that our customers get to see some of the area’s best kept secrets. The excursions cover a lot of ground, not only on board 4x4 vehicles but also on foot - there’s no better way to enjoy nature!

Our groups are relatively small in comparison to many others which results in relaxed atmosphere and leaves passengers feeling as if they had a personal guide rather than a tour guide.

The core of the people running the business has been involved right from the start in 1979 but during the short season we’ve been lucky enough to find talented people to take good care of our customers’ needs. Many of those have been students working during their summer holiday, often returning to us several seasons in a row or until they’ve finished their studies.

Riding tours in the highlands of Iceland. Farmstay, short or long stay in a guesthouse.
"The participants of the tours travel off main traffic roads on horseback. They are lead by two very experienced guides who know all the historical paths and trails of the highlands. Al luggage, food and necessary equipment is transported by a 4x4 vehicle between the stopovers. Accommodation is provided in well-kept mountain huts.

According to the old tradition of Icelandic horse travelling in Iceland it is usual to take some extra horses along so that one can change mounts if and when necessary which makes the ride even more fun. To ensure a friendly atmosphere each group may not exceed 12-15 persons.

Austvadsholt farm, the heart of Hekluhestar, is located in a vast open area 100 km. east of Reykjavik in the vicinity of the volcano Mt. Hekla. At this working farm, the main activity is the breeding and training of Icelandic horses.

Most of the horses used by Hekluhestar are born, bred and trained at Austvadsholt. Guests are encouraged to share in this close relati"

"Iceland has many riding experiences awaiting you:

Short rides
Wilderness tours
Riding tours that mix in some sightseeing
Riding instruction and training

Most of the tours we feature are in the very old Icelandic tradition. This a tradition of traveling some distances on their horses. When among other Icelanders they will ride at a pretty fast pace.

Of course, the big deal in touring in Iceland is that on the longer rides you ride along with a herd of loose horses. These horses serve as your remounts since you might ride 3 horses in a long day.

We have ridden in, and considered offering tours in, several other lands (sometimes even on Icelandic horses) and this singular aspect of herding remounts seems to be exclusively Icelandic.

The idea of riding tours didn’t come from someone in the tourist industry. In a near-Arctic pastoral country Icelanders had to round up their sheep and horses from far flung fields each autumn. It would be a"
