Combine an Icelandic horseback riding tour and a whale watching cruise on a day trip from Reykjavik. Suitable for all abilities, the experience starts with a 1.5-2 hour ride through moors and lava fields on the sturdy Icelandic horse. Enjoy free time for lunch at Reykjavik Old Harbour, and then board a ship to take you across Faxaflói Bay to the whale watching sites. Look for whales, dolphins and porpoises and more!
