Grof Horseback Riding Iceland & The Holy Ram Lodge

Gröf Horseback riding Iceland is a small family business, run by Susan & Víðir Þór Herbertsson. We provide warm and personal service in our comfortable, modern Lodge The Holy Ram. We offer pre-prepared, four & six days, tours during the summer. Our aim is to offer unforgettable riding tours on good horses in a beautiful landscape – and a bit of luxury during the stay. In our Lodge we have double & singlerooms with private bathrooms, each room has great views and a skylight over your bed. The ‘livingroom’ is a cozy hall where you can enjoy a beautiful view of the glacier. A great outdoor area with again fabulous views to the mountains, sea & the glacier and a hot tub & sauna. In the winter we offer long weekends for non-riders, or riders who like to see their favorite horse in their wintercoat. With of course the possibility of seeing the beautiful Northern Lights at night

Gatklettur

Reviewed By LaurenM557 - Torrance, United States

It is a spectacular rock formation, highlighted by a natural rock arch. Free parking with an easy access from main highway. When we were there in February, it was really windy!

Ytri Tunga Beach

Reviewed By happy_vegemite_too

So peaceful and wondrous, the colours of the algae were a stunning feast for the eyes and algae covered the beach as far as the eye could see.The lighting changed frequently with the weather which varied from bright sunshine to overcast and rainy in short bursts. It was such a dramatic setting with the tall mountains towering in the background. The water was like a lake, birds bobbed along in a line in the distance. The tide was rising and seals, resting on low lying boulders, reluctant to move struggled to maintain their balance. I was loathe to leave. We were only going to be here for about 30 minutes, but spent several hours, a truly wondrous sight. It was the quietness and serenity that made it seem so ethereal.

Port Arnarstapi

Reviewed By margretsam - Reykjavik, Iceland

A must while travelling the Snæfellsnes. Visit Bárður Snæfellsás, the troll-protector of Snæfellsnes, many viewing platforms of the steep sea cliffs with their big waves and bird life, look at Gatklettur which is a spectacular natural rock formation in the sea, take a hike from Arnarstapi to Hellnar.
