Preparation for the summer on Viðey Island is in full swing these days as the summer schedule takes over next Tuesday, 15 May with the daily ferry. In cooperation with city of Reykjavík we have put together an interesting program for this summer, full of activities such as guided walks, concerts, festivals and more. What is new this summer is a horse rental on the island run by Laxnes Hores Farm. Visitors on the island can from now on get to know the Icelandic horse; pat them, feed them hey or even join one of the riding tours that start in June.

Last Wednesday the horses were brought to the island and as they are quite different from our usual passengers on the ferry we had to use a barge for the
job. It all went well and the horses are now enjoying themselves in the fields on the island.

Here are few photos taken by Bjarni Grímsson while the horses were moved over to the island:
