The ride was a trip highlight for me! It was so amazing. The staff were so great and accommodating! If I could give more stars I would. A lovely experience that I would definitely recommend!

Very Relaxing Tour!

Our tour guide was Barbora and she was great! We lucked out and got a private tour. We were able to have coffee when we arrived and go into the stable before we had to watch the safety video. We got to personally know our guide which was great! When we arrived back at the barn we were able to hangout with the horses in the stable before we left. Would definitly recommend!

Could not have asked for better!

I had the most amazing time! I was lucky enough to ride 1-2-1 with a guide (pot luck) who was fabulous in talking me through how to ride the Tölt correctly as well as teaching me so much about the origins of the Icelandic horse, their union, shoeing style and the land in which they were bred. They chose the horse perfectly based on my previous riding experience so I was really able to enjoy the ride at a faster pace. The facility is set up in an amazing way whether you're a rider or spectator. I 100% would recommend a visit. It was the highlight of my trip and we did a lot whilst in Iceland!

“We love the experience! The whole team was extremely collaborative and attentive, especially with our group, made up of people with no experience in horseback riding.
