Amazing tour. The weather was perfect, and the guide was excellent. From the check in process to the end the service was great. Our guide Ellen was very knowledgeable and made sure we knew the basics of riding. She took us out to a waterfall that was beautiful and allowed us to trot the horse in a safe area. Great experience and actually a perfect time for the ride about 1 hour in total.

Super kind people. Beautiful Icelandic horses. Clean grounds. Amazing nature views. What more can you ask for? My 6 year old was over the moon.

Amazing Tour

Fantastic experience when...

Fantastic experience when you want to get up close and personal with some Icelandic horses but you’re short on time. Staff was very friendly and helpful.

Definitely do it!

Daniel_S, Sep 2024

The staff was amazingly friendly and accommodating. They went above and beyond to make sure we had a great expierence. This ride itself was so cool. I've only ridden a few times but the horses were great and the guides make it really easy. Definitely one of our highlights in Iceland.

Beautiful individual tour

Super nice contact. We were the only guests in January. It was all super organized and with Amrei we had a great company. Even our little scared bunny was totally thrilled afterwards. Really recommendable.
