This riding adventure is perfect for more experienced riders who wants to see Lofoten in an active way. It starts at Hov Gård, our amazing partners running tours and activities with nearly 50 icelandic horses in Gimsøya. We will meet up by the stable where you get introduced to your horse and equipped for the half day tour of exploration and fun on the horseback. As the tour starts, we follow a historical road that is believed to have been used by the ancient vikings. Its location up on a ridge provides an amazing 360 degree view over the mountains and the nature reserve of Gimsøyamyrene. During the ride, you will get a chance to try the different gates of the icelandic horse.
We keep crossing Gimsøymyrene nature reserve, which is a beautiful mire area with typical vegetation for this part of Norway. It is home to various wild birds that can be spotted along the ride. The entire ride is a bless for all senses, with the stunning natural surroundings and the fresh breeze from the ocean nearby. The area is full of remainings from the viking age, like an old amphitheater, and what was once upon a time buildings and boat houses. We ride all the way to the magnificent white sandy beach of Vinje, where we make a stop for some lunch either on the beach or at the local general store and café, while the horses are gazing outside.
