New 'Hiking and Horses' Solo Travel Adventure in West Iceland

Hotel Husafell celebrates International Women’s Day with the launch of ‘Hiking and Horses,’ a new adventure package for solo travelers available until October 31. The country's compact size, low crime rate, friendly citizenry of English speaking people, reputation for gender equality, and transformative travel experiences make Iceland a favorite destination for women solo travelers.

‘Hiking and Horses’ immerses independent spirits in the remote beauty of West Iceland’s otherworldly nature and provides non-awkward opportunities to mingle with fellow travelers and locals alike.

Amid volcanic and glacial landscapes, guests travel on horseback, hike nature trails, experience backcountry hospitality at a family-run horse farm, and discover local legends and folklore on a heritage walk around Husafell.

Independent spirits can customize their journey with trips to nearby Langjokull glacier and the world's largest lava cave, as well as on-property activities like outdoor thermal swimming and mountain biking.
