Hov Gård is situated on the northern edge of the island of Gimsøya, which makes it one of the best places in the Lofoten to experience the Midnight sun.
We start the ride from our Hov Gård stables while the sun is slowly dipping just above the horizon, offering a never-ending golden hour. After a gentle climb, the views open, all the way from the sea to the mountains. We make our way to Hovsund, passing the traditional fish drying racks, before heading back to the Arctic beach and slowly making our way back home.
This tour does not require any experience, and everyone is more than welcome to join. Lofoten by horse is slow-paced, so if you have experience and are looking for something more advanced, look at our longer tour options.
We provide helmets, warm clothes, rain gear, boots, and gloves. We put safety first, and if the weather conditions are unsafe, we will have to reschedule.
Weight limit is 95kg on all riding tours.
Hov Gård is situated at Hov, on the island of Gimsøy, in the heart of Lofoten. Hov is approximately 45 kilometres south-west of Svolvær and 50 kilometres north-east of Lekens. Follow the E10 and turn off at the Sundklakkbrua bridge on Gimsøy. As you will see, the riding centre is centrally situated in Lofoten, under an hour’s drive away from most overnight accommodations and attractions.
