Included in the cost of each tour is lodging in the beautiful guesthouse at Syðra-Skörðugil, where all accommodations are first-class. Your room is provided with warm bedding and towels, while outside on the deck, in view of the mountains and the Northern Lights, is an excellent hot-tub, where you can relax and let the tensions of the day slip away. And while the house has a small kitchen you are welcome to use, all meals will be provided – and we’re not sparing with the food and drink! You can expect luxurious two- or three-course dinners with almost all the ingredients sourced straight from the farm.

The stables at Syðra-Skörðugil are newly renovated and just a short walk from the guesthouse. We have a wide selection of top-quality competition horses and fine pleasure horses for you to try out while you are staying with us.

All your riding lessons will be taught in the beautiful indoor riding arena we have at our farm. All of the lessons will be on top-quality horses, some which have received high scores in competitions here in Iceland.

Along with all of this, we will be taking you on short riding tours on and around Syðra-Skörðugil farm, so that you can get to know the Icelandic horse in its natural winter surroundings. We are hoping the weather will allow us to let you try out riding on the ice! We will also take you on some sightseeing trips in Skagafjörður and visit, for example, the Museum of the Icelandic Horse at Holar University. We will take a dip in the famous geothermally heated swimming pool at Hofsós, which overlooks the ocean. Each day will bring a new adventure.
