Lofoten Island Ride
This programme focuses on a selection of different types of rides that are scenic and exciting, a mix of riding on trails, gravel roads and some climbing in the mountains. There will be a combination of our classic rides and some new routes. The rides are medium to demanding and the rider must have good experience of riding in different types of terrain and be able to master all gaits. We plan to spend one night in a tent camp that is set up in advance, the rest of the nights are at Hov Gjestehus where we have our base. We use a boat on one of our trips to reach a more remote island in Lofoten, so there will be some island hopping. Lofoten Island Ride is an extraordinary riding and nature experience in Lofoten. This tour includes:
- 7 nights in a double/twin room (6 nights at Hov Gård and 1 night at a tent camp)
- Guided horseback riding tours,
- Activity on the day off
- Breakfast, lunch and dinner every day
- Transport to and from the airport

Frequently asked questions
-
Although our Icelandic horses are strong, we have a weight limit of 95kg for both short trips such as Lofoten til Hest, Midnattsolturen and Nordlysturen and for longer trips. On longer tours, the weight limit may depend on your riding skills and experience.
-
We offer helmets, gloves, thermal suits, rain jackets, rain trousers and boots on loan, but recommend everyone to dress for the weather as far as possible.

Basically, riders on multi-day tours stay at Hov Gjestehus on the farm. The guesthouse has 6 double bedrooms and 3 shared bathrooms, plus a living room, kitchen and laundry room. It has a large veranda and views of Hovstranda and the open sea, and is a gem for enjoying the midnight sun or the Northern Lights, depending on the season.
-
We recommend that you bring nuts, energy bars or similar with you on your trip, as sometimes the weather can delay meals – or simply because our energy levels are different. Breakfast, lunch and dinner are included in the price.
-
We can offer transport to and from Leknes and Svolvær on arrival and departure dates, between 08:00 and 18:00 at no extra charge.
