Don't misss this. - I loved this. The landscape was amazing and the staff was pure gold. I lost my cell phone on the ride and our guide, Eliza, rode out in the dusk to find for me. I am so thankful for her going the extra miles for me. LOL Everyone was kind and patient. I plan on going back one summer to enjoy all Iceland has to offer and I will be sure to take this ride again.

Amazing family activity - This was so much fun! Leisurely ride through a beautiful landscape, led by experienced and friendly guides. Great for adults and kids, beginners and more advanced riders. My 11-year-old and I loved this—she hasn’t stopped talking about it since!

Worth every minute! - My husband and I had a blast riding through the lava fields and taking in Iceland's natural beauty atop these kind and friendly Icelandic horses. It was our first time riding horses and these were very pleasant horses and the guides were very lovely as well. Highly recommend!!!!

It was worth every ISK - Wonderful horse riding tour! Our guides were amazing, really bubbly and knowledgeable about the land and the horses. The horses were magnificent, such beautiful and intelligent animals. I fell in love with my horse (Moon) and had the time of my life. Thank you so much to the lovely guides for such a wonderful experience.

Do yourself a favor and go - That was a wonderful experience. EVERYONE was so nice (as most Icelanders we experienced). The horses were gentle and they knew the ropes so you don't have to do much. But the guides we had were just the best. Patty and Barbara are the only two names we remember, and there was another one who talked to us a long time but I can't remember her name. I would highly recommend this to anyone as the ride through the volcanic lava fields was other worldly.

Felt like a dream!!!! - This was definitely one of the best excursions I’ve ever been on. The guides were fabulous and so informative start to finish! The horses were absolutely incredible. To top it off we got to ride in the snow it felt like something out of a film!
