Yes, guided horseback riding tours from Reykjavik are memorable experiences while visiting Iceland. Aside from taking a longboat, horseback riding tours offer the closest experience to how Vikings would have first explored Iceland. Moreover, because Iceland is so unique and the terrain can sometimes be difficult to navigate on foot, sure-footed local horses make for a great way to traverse volcanic fields.

Per one customer who booked the Icelandic Horseback Riding Tour from Reykjavik, "Tour operator was very responsive when I had questions and requested pickup after booking. The trainers were patient, kind to the horses, and we had a wonderful ride. The landscape was beautiful, the horses were very calm and friendly. We enjoyed our ride very much."

There are a lot of options when it comes to horseback riding around Reykjavik, so understanding your own level of skill and comfort on horseback is proportional to how much you’ll enjoy your ride. Booking a long ride when you haven’t been in a saddle for years might not be a great choice, but hinging your enjoyment on how fast you want to go when in a group of riders who might be more timid might also be disappointing. Just remember that you’re going to be in a group, and that everyone’s safety is the priority.

Horses are wild animals, and no matter what you do or how skilled a rider you are, just keep in mind that there is always some level of risk during these adventures. While hurting yourself might be a remote possibility, remember that you’re also going to be trekking through some rugged terrain, so be sure to wear clothing that you don’t mind getting scuffed or splattered with mud.
