Best experience - 10 stars for the amazing crew and their horses! 👏👏👏 It's the best rinding tour you could've wished for. Completely fine even if you're a scaredy-cat beginner like myself. The girls were amazing, very friendly, patient, professional and able to take care of us and our needs. We split into groups and rode accordingly to our preferred pace. The views were amazing! And the horses were very well trained and behaved. I'm so so happy we did this! 💯 Recommended.

Unique trip - This was quite a unique experience with some frightening parts, specially when we first galloped! The views were amazing along the entire ride - mountains, forests, snow!

A must do - This was a highlight of our trip to Iceland. The horses were beautiful and their welfare and happiness is a top priority at the riding centre. I would highly recommend.

Amazing experience! - We decided to have a go at Icelandic horseriding after seeing them on the south coast tour. We booked it and went the next morning. It was totally worth it and a lot of fun. The trail wmthrough the lava fields was beautiful, with the vivid colours of the rocks peaking through the blanket of snow. The guides were wonderful and very friendly. They were very good towards beginners and those of us with only a little experience. I highly recommend the tour with these guys.

Amazing experience! Must do. - Wow! This was a fantastic experience. Our tour guides were very fun, knowledgeable, and responsible. This was my first time riding a horse and, although I was scared, our guides did everything to make sure I was safe and having fun. Highly recommend wearing gloves as it was cold and you will be outside riding for ~2 hours. They have jackets and pants to put on top of your clothes if you wish to wear them. Those are nice to add another layer for some warmth & protect you from any rain. It also keeps your own clothes from smelling like a horse all day :) The terrain was absolutely beautiful & I would definitely do this experience again!

Great for all level riders - Would highly recommend!! My husband and I did a 2 hour tour which was kindly scheduled short notice. Since we visited during January, the Icelandic horses are in their winter coat - so beautiful and soft :) If you are an advanced rider (as we are) they will accommodate to your ability and provide a lot of fast tolting during the ride. We had a blast! The views of lava field, the energetic horses and super friendly people made for a lovely trip. They also provide rain and wind protective gear to wear over your clothes and coffee/tea/hot chocolate at the end of the tour.

Best riding tour I ever had - Had a really great experience with my partner. They were able to cater to our riding experience which was the best part of our tour. My partner loves the trotting experience while I prefer the slow walk riding experience and they separated us into two groups which allowed us to have fun based on our levels. The horses were very well trained especially my horse Biggie! He is such a lovely fella, always making sure I was comfortable with the ride. My tour guide Pauline was lovely as well, thank you . *It will be pretty cold if you go during the winter season so it’s highly recommended to have hats, gloves, waterproof pants, thermal clothing and a baclava for your face. Forgot to mention hot drinks are served at the end of the tour which was a plus for the cold weather :)!
