Our Favorite Activity!! - The horse farm is a short ride from the city. We had an amazing time. The scenery on the way to the farm was beautiful, the farm owners and all staff were super friendly and welcoming, and the horses were beautiful and so fun to be around. We rode the horses across the countryside, and it was such a smooth ride. Even my 8yr old who has never ridden a horse before was able to manage the ride. Once we were done we were treated to some hot cocoa and coffee inside to help warm back up. I would highly recommend this activity if you are hoping to get up close and personal with Icelandic horses. You will not be disappointed.

This place was amazing -... - This place was amazing - a family run business with a sweet gentleman outfitting our group, a funny tour guide setting us up with horses to match our levels, and tour guides who helped everyone on and off if needed. Beautiful vistas and amazingly sweet horses - easy rides for all the beginners in our group.

Best value trip in Iceland - Amazingly well organised including the pick up from our hotel. Gave us all the gear we needed and matched us up with our horses. We went miles. Blummin freezing and exhilarating ride for around 2 hours followed by coffee and sit down to warm up before getting back in the minibus to return to the hotel. Very nice people and very welcoming. Thanks to all at Laxnes for the great afternoon.

A must do! - From start to finish this activity was run seamlessly. We were picked up by the owner and taken to the absolutely spotless stables, where their beautiful ponies were kept. Helped with all in one suits, hats and gloves…all provided. Then taken on the most beautiful hack, across a river, under snow topped mountains. It was magical. Then back to the stables for coffee and cake in the very warm tea room. The family genuinely love their ponies and work together to create such a unique experience.

Great ride! - They supplied a jumpsuit and helmet. Very glad to have had the jumpsuit over my clothes so I was warm enough. Ride was great, staff was friendly and helpful. Horses were so chill beautiful, as was the scenery. Thank you!
