Very warm and friendly staff. They made us feel like family. It was quite cozy. You can tell the owner loves the animals and sharing them with others. I’d recommend this for anyone!

Viktor and Pia were absolutely wonderful guides and so helpful. So much experience and knowledge, and clearly love these beautiful horses. Viktor’s medals, trophies and innate understanding of the horses made it also feel that it was a tour that had integrity and was ethical in the treatment of animals. Would recommend highly and go again tomorrow if we could. Yvonne and Paul Olsen.

Full description

Start with pickup from your hotel in Rekjavik and travel to a small family-owned farm outside the city. Get acquainted with your horse, suited to your previous riding experience. After a short riding lesson and safety briefing, head out on a ride over the hills surrounding Reykjavik. Enjoy beautiful views over the volcanic mountains, lakes, and the city. Make your way through the Hólsmheiði forest and arrive at a stunning red lava rock field called Rauðhólar. Make several stops along the way to take photos and enjoy the scenery. During the journey, you will get to ride Tölt, the super comfortable 4th gait of the Icelandic horse, and learn how Icelanders have traveled across their country for centuries. Be returned to Rekjavik in the early afternoon to enjoy the rest of your day.

Everything was perfect! The horses are so calm and friendly. The Guide was friendly and helpful with everything! It was amazing! And we ask them, the horses get enough breaks and are not busy the whole day. They look good and healthy. The nature is nice, so have fun and also be friendly and passionate with the horses 🥰🙏🏼
