What you can expect

Spend a morning heading inland for the chance to canter through rugged, volcanic countryside on the back of an Icelandic horse on this combo adventure. In the afternoon, cruising through open water, scan the horizon for playful pods of dolphins and explosive blasts from the blowholes of minke whales..

Start your day with a 1.5-2 hour horseback riding tour just outside of Reykjavik. When you arrive to the stables, get paired up with a docile Icelandic horse and mount up for a thrilling ride over rolling hills and open boulder-flecked grasslands. Enjoy the beautiful and serene natural landscapes and snap photos of Iceland's rugged mountains before heading back to town.

In the afternoon, get ready for an afternoon at sea with your whale-watching cruise in the Old Harbour. Climb aboard as the crew makes final preparations to sail, and find a comfortable seat the warm cabin or on the breezy, open-air top deck. As make your way out to sea, listen as helpful staff give you pointers on where to look for whales, dolphins, and porpoises. During your trip, you might even see the majestic arch of a breaching humpback whale, or the acrobatic maneuvers of white-beaked dolphins.

Consider grabbing a drink from the onboard bar while you sail and enjoy sending pictures to your friends and family over the ship's lightning fast Wi-Fi before you head back to shore and catch a lift back to your hotel.
