Absolutely loved this...
Absolutely loved this experience! Icelandic horses are so special and as my first horse riding experience I thoroughly enjoyed riding Flóki. It started to rain and we saw the most beautiful rainbow. Our guides were very friendly and sweet and helpful. Highly recommend a morning or evening ride!

Happy on horseback
The ride was very fun, beautiful scenery! There was road traffic noise for part of it, but not terrible. The pickup came at 28 minutes past the time, which had us nervous, but the time on horseback was not cut short. The guides were friendly and helpful. The beginner herd did not tolt at all.

Must do wonderful experience!
Absolutely wonderful experience! Fantastic guides and adorable majestic horses. Having the opportunity to ride the tölt was a once in a lifetime experience that I'm so grateful to have had. Greatly enjoyed chatting with the owner on the way back to my hotel. Highly recommend this well managed family farm!

An Amazing Horseback Riding Experience
I made the reservation months ago and realized the night before that I stupidly put in the wrong time! I messaged the stable and Anna got back to me so quickly about moving us to the earlier time and also getting us transportation from Akureyri to their barn. Crisis averted! Once we arrived we were taken into the barn and outfitted with any rain gear we may have needed. We were sized for our helmets and then Linnea paired us with our horses. Once we had a short time to make our horse's acquaintance (Hi Narfi!), we mounted up, and we were off!
One of my friends and I are experience riders, so we were given the opportunity to go ahead of the group and try to tölt. It was really quite the experience! The was another group with us, but it still was a nice private experience where each rider was taken care of depending on their level of horsemanship. It truly was a beautiful hour and a half of picturesque countryside and opportunity to commune with nature.
My entire group felt comfortable and safe the entire time and would not hesitate to come back. Plus, the cake at the end was wonderful as well!

Can join fast group, 1 hour riding time
This tour gives you the opportunity to be in a slow group and a fast group which was really cool and hasn't been an option of horseback riding tours i've been on elsewhere. The fast group allows you to try the icelandic horse trot which I eventually managed to go with my horse on our last attempt. What I liked about it was I didn't feel discouraged from joining the fast group despite being a beginner, but they were also very clear that you must have excellent balance and control of your horse to do so. It was responsible customer service.
It took a while to get our group situated with a horse. It could probably be a faster and more efficient system with more guides but I also think it's on purpose since total riding time is only 1 hour. That's really my only feedback, longer riding time. The place was great, the briefing was the perfect intersection of succinct but thorough, facilities and gear were in good shape, and the horses are well trained and well cared for.

Great for families!
We had a great time riding Icelandic horses on this tour. We did this activity as a family of 4 (boys ages 12 &13) and all loved the experience. The horses were happy and well trained. The two hour ride had beautiful scenery with several creek crossings. I especially loved experiencing the tolt gait! Highly recommend!

Highly recommend great writing experience
This was an awesome experience. My guide was very experienced and helpful. The horses are friendly and not just the type of horse that follows the tail in front of them. They're a little bit independent. Great riding experience. Highly recommend them.
