5.00This was amazing. It was the first time I rode a horse and it was so fun and easy. I would definitely sign up and go even if it means you would go by yourself.

5.00Oh wow what a beautiful activity to do and everyone was so friendly and lovely! Personally I am scared of horses but my partner loves them so I booked this and although it was out of my comfort zone we had the best morning! I would 100% recommend it to anyone even if you are wary of horses, they are so well behaved and easy to get the hang of things while riding too! Beautiful calm horses with the most gorgeous scenery, we saw the sunrise over the mountains while riding Icelandic horses and that is a memory I will treasure forever! Thank you so much xx
Lovely horses

5.00This tour is located near Reykjavik, which was convenient. Unfortunately it was rainy, yet, they provided wet weather gear. The horses were lovely! My husband has never ridden a horse and this was a easy and gentle ride down a path through the mossy lava fields. They offered tea and coffee to warm up afterwards.
SO FUN

5.00Claudia was the most amazing guide! Ended up being just me on the tour but she made it extra fun. She was very insightful on the geography and culture of the region and even taught tilting of the horses. It was so fun and a great experience. No notes!
Lovely area to horse ride
