Icelandic ponies in the dead of winter.

4.00Went on this tour on a very cold day in January of 26'. This was a very enjoyable tour, however I won't say the most scenic horseback riding tour we've ever been on. However, I admit I may have underdressed/layered for this tour so I was more focused on the cold. Near the end of the tour I didn't notice my right boot had froze to the stirrup. I ate it good getting off the horse which in hindsight was hilarious and has made for many a funny dinner party story. Dress warm and gitty-up!
Horse Ride & Cuddles

5.00We booked a tour on March 24, 2026 at the Laxnes Horse Farm for a ride and horse cuddles. The team at the farm were wonderful. The horses adorable and sweet! The farm beautiful. It was a cold day for a ride but it was worth it. Our photos were great! I highly recommend going there for a tour if you love horses and have the time. We will always remember our horse ride in Iceland!
So fun!

5.00Be prepared for all weather, you could experience all forms of precipitation while you ride. A warm jumpsuit was provided along with gloves and a riding helmet, but bringing a face cover would be a good idea. It was a great ride and the horses are very kind and gentle. It was a nice ride along the base of the mountains next to a stream. I would definitely recommend.
dont be afraid to try...

5.00I really enjoyed this experience. The staff was really kind and helpful. They provided us with all the gear needed for the horse ride. They assigned us a horse depending on our riding experience. It was only my second time but I felt safe and the tour guide was checking on us during the ride to make sure everyone was ok. The landscape was also amazing. At the end they gave us a hot drink to warm up and a nice cake. I would definitely recommend this tour.

5.00Nice little excursion that included a 1.5h ride down a trail next to the ranch. We went in March so the wind was icy.
Beautiful horses, stunning scenery

5.00My partner and I had a wonderful time riding these beautiful horses through the countryside. The horses were so gentle and the scenery was stunning! The experience included convenient pick up and drop off, and we were greeted upon arrival by the owner who helped us with getting ready by fitting us with our hard hats and super warm overalls. The staff were professional and friendly and it was a wonderful experience!
