Unreal Experience

Had a great time on the Silfra snorkeling tour. Our guide gave clear instructions right from the start. Putting on all the gear like the suit and straps was a bit uncomfortable at first, but once you get in the water, you don't really notice it. It was truly an amazing experience! The photos turned out great, too. And the water is unbelievable, the cleanest and freshest I’ve ever had. I couldn't resist taking a few sips toward the end. Highly recommend!

The whole experience from...

The whole experience from pick up to getting on the horses and riding was wonderful. The guides were super friendly and nice and matched me with the perfect horse. My horse and I had so much fun together as she taught me the Icelandic tölt natural gait. Very worthwhile adventure.

Super!

Well worth a visit! Very organised and the 'flyover' session was stunning. There were three parts to the experience: A short film where there was no seating, another animation with limited seating and then the flyover session where we were all strapped in.

Definitely worth booking.

I appreciated that they asked about our experience levels and comfortability with horses. Everyone was so kind and welcoming. Our guides were great about giving us opportunities to go faster, and I noticed that they were great at ensuring less experienced riders were supported. The views were stunning! You won’t regret booking with them.

Icelandic Horseback Riding Tour with Pickup Option from Reykjavik

Absolutely lovely for beginner and experienced riders!

I’m an experienced rider and my husband and two boys have very little riding experience. Our guided ride was absolutely perfect for all of us. I did opt to split off with a faster riding group to experience the Icelandic Horse tölt which was a really fun experience. Their focus on safety, basic riding instruction, pairing riders with horses who were a good fit, and having guides spread throughout the group to support riders when needed was really wonderful. I had no concerns leaving my boys and husband in the care of the guides for them to stay with the less experienced riding group and we all had a lot of fun riding through beautiful scenery. The trail guides clearly have a lovely system they have refined over many years of experience doing guided trail rides. And the Icelandic horses lived up to their great reputation of being steady, kind, generous horses for people of all riding levels.
