My Dream Horse Experience

I had such an amazing experience, from pick-up to drop-off! My hotel wasn't on the pick-up list, so I sent a message directly to the tour providers. They picked me up directly from my hotel, and all went smoothly. This was the first time I'd been on a horse in over 50 years, so that also had me a little nervous. Getting on the horse was the only difficult part, but the guides were there to help. Once I was in the saddle, my sweet horse and I became fast friends! She listened well, and our walk down the guided path was so beautiful! The guides even took pictures of me and my friends on our horses at a scenic location along our route. Everything was perfect, and I would definitely go again!

Icelandic horses

We all really thought it was a very fine experience. At first I was kind of scared but once the guides told me a few basics it felt great. The horses were calm and usually listened, and it was a pretty nice ride with a great view of a lot of mountains.

Puffins!!

We had a very nice Puffin tour. Roseanne was excellent at explaining and answering questions about these interesting birds. The captain was an excellent driver in the rough waves around the island. The birds are very small but we saw hundreds flying around. It was also exciting to see the coast of Iceland from the water. I would recommend this tour.

The dive was incredible....

The dive was incredible. The views were amazing, the water was crystal clear, and the guide was amazing. Belu was our guide and I recommend everybody dive with her!!!! She was extremely friendly and took amazing pictures of us. Her knowledge of silfra was exceptional. Everybody in our party had a blast swimming around, seeing the sights, learning about all of the different types of algae and the rock formations.

Absolutely would do it again with this group!

Great group of kind and helpful ladies! If you’re a beginner, they choose a nice horse for you. If you’re an expert or have rode before, they will choose a different horse for you. Reason being, after 15 minutes of riding, you can choose to go a slow pace or a faster pace with a horse. The group separates off into two. The slow pace - you get a more relaxed, scenic experience. Faster pace group, I presume it’s more about the ride. Either way, it was a nice ride! They help get you on the horse and everything. Some children were riding by themselves too and they had a pleasant time riding. Got to pet the horses after. Definitely a great experience!

Highlight of our trip

There were two pre-shows before the flight experience, and I expected them to be pretty average—but they completely exceeded my expectations! The entire experience ended up being one of my husband’s and my favorite things we did in Iceland. We even said every country should have something like this! It was worth every penny. The gift shop was also our favorite of the whole trip. Overall, this was easily a 100/10 experience. If you’re like us and love immersive activities and experiences more than museums, tours, or traditional sightseeing, I can’t recommend this enough!

Perfect way to get to know an Icelandic horse

Want a fun and personalized way to experience the Icelandic horse on vacation! My spouse and I took a private tour and felt like our preferences for riding speed, challenge and terrain were taken into account which made the ride exciting and interesting for us! We rode for a few minutes in an enclosed paddock to familiarize ourselves with our horses and a new to us riding style, before hitting the trails. Our guide provided lots of information about the history of the area in which we rode which was an added bonus! The horses were well cared for and beautiful! We were able to reach the stable in our rental car, but for those without a car, it is accessible on the bus line. Do not hesitate to book this tour!
