Icelandic Horseback Riding Tour Including Pick Up from Reykjavik

Beautiful way to see the countryside

Nice walk through beautiful countryside. Went through 2 rivers, saw mountains and fields. Horses knew their jobs. Some horses were a bit frisky but nothing even the beginners couldn’t handle. Don’t be afraid to ask questions or let the leaders know if you’re not comfortable with something. The two young women leaders clearly love the horses and their job. The horses and the tack could use a little scrub and polish.

Unforgettable

It was definitely an amazing experience! I was really nervous about my limited swimming skills, the cold water, and everything that came with it, but it turned out even better than I could have hoped for. Nothing was planned at all — we literally visited the park on Monday and spontaneously decided to do this on Thursday before heading back! Steven our guide was fantastic and made the whole experience feel safe, fun, and unforgettable. 100% recommended!!

A good rush and beautiful images of Iceland!

This was a fun activity! The intros were a nice introduction to some of the history and mythology of Iceland. This was my first fly over experience so I don't have too much to compare if to, but I appreciated that it was short and the mists during the flight helped to cool me down and prevent motion sickness. The flight itself was very beautiful and gave us a good rush! We appreciated seeing a lot of the scenery that is not visible from the road. Highly recommend buying tickets on viator as they are significantly cheaper than buying them at the box office.

Lovely scenery from a horse’s back.

This was very well organized, I was picked up on time and transferred to the farm. The girls helping us were very organized and kind. I am a beginner so was happy to just sit on the horse and walk along some lovely trails. The girls were kind and took photos of everyone. Then we were transferred back to our meeting place when the ride was over. The more experienced riders got a chance to go in a different group and go faster .

Great time with people and horses.

A wonderful experience. From pickup to drop off, everything and everyone were great. The staff are knowledgeable, helpful and so friendly. They take care to ease any worries and enable those more experienced to go through the gates with the horses. They take care on safety with good equipment. And the horses are beautiful and wonderful. The ride gives a chance to take in the older lava friends and other scenery.
