Best Icelandic horse experience!

5.00The horses are so gentle and well cared for and the staff was excellent, guiding the tour group and giving clear and understandable directions for beginners and opportunities to try the “Tolt” for more experienced riders. The red lava formations were so beautiful with the mountains in the background. Excellent experience!
Highly Recommend!

5.00Riding an Icelandic horse through the forest and red rock lava field was an an amazing experience! I got to see landscape I never would have seen from a driving. Our guide, Claudia, was awesome and so knowledgeable about the area, the horses gentle and Tölting through the fields was so much fun! Their warm suits provided kept me warm and I had merino wool layers underneath. Simply beautiful experience.
Great time!

5.00It was fun. The guides were great. I would have broken up in two smaller groups with guides that can be close enough to hear direction.

5.00The ride was a great activity to do before our 5pm take off. The scenery was stunning, the horses gentle and the guides were superb. This is a great family activity. Pick up and drop off at the hotel was another positive point.

5.00I have zero experience riding horses, so I was a little nervous leading up to this experience. The girls leading the tour were great and immediately put my mind at ease! They explained everything we needed to know about the horses and how to hold the reins. The horses were calm and knew where to walk without much direction. The scenery was beautiful, it was really cool to walk through the lava fields and even try the tolt! I definitely would recommend this experience if you’ve never ridden a horse before. Pick up & drop off made everything very convenient as well.
Amazing!
