Írafoss Waterfall Horseback Riding Experience in South Iceland

Meet Iceland’s famous native horses and explore the peaceful countryside of South Iceland on a guided horseback ride to Írafoss Waterfall.

Your experience begins at a countryside farm, where you’ll meet your horse and receive a short introduction before setting off with your guide. Horses are selected according to each rider’s experience level, making the ride suitable for both beginners and more confident riders.

Ride across open fields and follow the quiet Írá River through rural landscapes surrounded by mountains and farmland. Along the way, pass traditional sheep and cattle farms while enjoying wide views across the Icelandic countryside.

The route leads to Írafoss, a scenic waterfall framed by dramatic cliffs. Pause here with your horse, take in the surroundings, and enjoy a peaceful moment away from the busier tourist routes before beginning the ride back to the farm.

During the approximately two-hour ride, you’ll have the chance to experience Iceland’s landscapes at a slower pace while getting to know the country’s much-loved Icelandic horses.
