The experience

Experience Lofoten on horseback

Hov Gård is situated in beautiful surroundings at Hov on the island of Gimsøy, by a white sandy beach with a view of the ocean and the midnight sun or the northern lights, on the north side of the Lofoten Islands.

Here at Hov, you can ride in the Mountains, on the beaches and along roads that the predecessors of our “Viking horses” rode on over a thousand years ago. Icelandic horses are the descendents of the horses of Viking Age Norway. We have tours suitable for both People with little or none riding experience, and for experienced riders.
