Top experience in Iceland, great for families - We went on the 1 hour tour as a family with our 6yo and 9yo in October and it was my younger one's top experience in Iceland! We are inexperienced riders and the entire family enjoyed it. It is unlike any other trail rides we've done before in the US where the horses are nose to tail. There is wide open space and sometimes the horses do veer off but are still in the group- very fun. The horses are gentle and lovable and you can feel their own personalities. And the views are spectacular. We even experienced the tolt and it was both exciting and felt safe. The guides were wonderful, calm, and patient. In case this is helpful to some to make the decision: it was a full 1 hour on horseback, not counting the initial helmet fitting and getting matched to a horse. We crossed a river, stopped briefly at a beautiful waterfall, and walked on along a ridge- it was definitely an adventure for all of us, esp. for my 6yo. I'm already plotting to come back!

fantastic experience! - Our experience with Hestasport was amazing ! This is a small, family owned company and we felt taken care of. Instructors chose horses based on our skills and provided a customized experience. We went on a ride along the river, climbing a small hill and ended up by a beautiful waterfall. We booked a 1.5h group tour for a family of 3 and because there were no other bookings at that time, we ended up having a private tour. A fantastic experience!

Fun ride! - Fantastic experience- our guide was great, horses had great temperaments, well managed facility. Loved the small group of three riders with one guide.

Wonderful experience! - Wonderful horseback riding experience for our family of 4 (2 children, age 8 and 11). It felt very safe and the horses were super sweet. Beautiful scenery and friendly and helpful staff! Highly recommend!

Short but satisfying - We had a lovely 30-minute ride on well-behaved Icelandic horses. The time flew by and we wished we had booked an hour instead! The guides were friendly and patient and helped us have a lovely time. It was especially nice for our young teens who didn't have any horse experience before.

Horses! - Our 8 yr old and our group of adults did the 3 hr ride. It was fabulous. Not a nose-to-tail ride. The 3 and 6 yr olds did the 45 min horse experience. They got to brush the horses and then were led on a walk around the property. They loved it and the staff was great!

Absolutely beautiful memorable ride! - We had a fabulous ride with Sarah on a day our cruise ship docked in Skagafjordur. The company is so well-organized and responsive, and arranged to pick us up from the port together with two other passengers. We had a 1.5 hour beautiful ride on amazing horses, past a waterfall and across a river. Truly memorable. Thank you for such a wonderful day!

It was the best thing... - It was the best thing we’ve done on the trip and the tour guides were amazing! All of us in the group Highly recommend!

What a great ride! - Great tour with Julia from Hestasport Riding. Scenery was breathtaking. Julia took the time to explain the tölt, which was also for me as an experienced rider new. We went to a waterfall and had the time to take pictures. Horses were friendly and in a good condition. Even if you have never been on a horse you should book a tour here!

Most gentle horse - We had a change of plan and a recommendation from our rafting guide Mark. Drove up in the morning with hopes to ride or at least pet a horse. The staff are very helpful an managed to fit us in. Our guides at the stable were caring to the animals. Confident and informative to all riders. They made sure all were safe to ride before we left. The horses are gentle and well care for. The ride took us around the area, up and down hills, and thru a stream/brook. The choice was given to all is you would like to go faster. The horses are comfortable at any pace. My husband has never been on a horse and was not as excited as the 2 ladies with him. Afterwards he said it was the best. Thanks to the front office staff, guides Franka and Arabella. The biggest thanks to ours horses Ran, Bokki and Bjork.
