Iceland in September is a gorgeous month perfect for horseback rides, berry-picking and northern lights hunting.
Round-em Up!
During the summer, Icelandic sheep run wild in the highlands. Now that fall is upon us, farmers will be flocking to the mountains with friends, family, and whoever else wants to lend a helping hand to round up the sheep and bring them down to be sorted in a process known as réttir. Many farmers are happy to have tourists take part, so make sure to ask our reception if there are réttir happening during your stay.

Taking a horseback ride is an excellent way to experience the stunning colors of fall in Iceland. In fact, Icelandic horses are one of the oldest breeds of horses on the globe, and their impressive strength and ability to endure all weather means that they are well suited to traverse rivers, lava fields, steep mountainous terrain, and even glaciers.
