A wonderful horseback riding experience - We chose a two hour house back riding tour. We were picked up and dropped off at our hotel. Once at the horse farm, we were given time to go over some rules and regulations, to have some hot chocolate, to dress warm and mingle among the beautiful horses.. The staff was excellent, caring and making sure everyone had a positive experience. They even stopped on the way to take pictures of you on the horse. After leaving a hat behind, a very kind staff member (Neel) took my email address and creatively found a way to get my hat back to me while I was still in Iceland. In spite of the weather being very cold, snow and sleet we were protected by the warm jumpsuits they provided for us. The view and experience was amazing. I do it again.

recommended for young and old! - Highly recommended!!! Unfortunately the weather was not very good, but there is good rain gear available as well as boots and a well-fitting cap. I did the lava tour with my husband. The first part we rode together and then there is a separation between beginners and more advanced riders. My husband went with the untrained riders and I went with the more advanced ones although it had been a while since I had been on a horseback. An extra supervisor drove along to see if the level was good enough. It was doable. It was a wonderful trip despite the rain that I enjoyed with my 66 years enrom.

Ishestar lava field Icelandic horse riding tour - Myself and two of my children, aged 9 and 13 went on the 50 minutes lava field ride. I've never been on a horse in my life, but we all really enjoyed this. The guides were really friendly and told us a lot about the horses (and the Icelandic horses union) and the lava fields in Iceland. The horses had a lot of personality, but were all very well behaved. We would have loved to have come back or tried a longer tour, but we didn't have the time unfortunately. Highly recommended.

Lovely time - Horses seemed to be well cared for-I am no expert on horse care so take this with a grain of salt but it was clear that the people working there did really care about the horses and the horses seemed chill with being ridden. Views were beautiful, riding was fun and straightforward, guides were super friendly. A bit expensive but worth it IMO

Spirit riding - This was the only excursion we planned while in Iceland and it was not disappointing. We were the only couple to ride that day with our three experienced guides. Sophie, Peah, and Leah was awesome. They gave us a very unique experience and being the only couple riding we really felt special. Loved the horses, mine was named Spirit and he had a mind of his own. The only drawback was the location was a little difficult to find but overall, I highly recommend this trip.

Beautiful Horses and Incredible Views - My boyfriend (who has no riding experience) and I (who grew up riding) did the Black Sand Beach tour and could not have asked for a better experience! Our guide, Lia, was fantastic and had a strong passion for horses and nature. It’s clear the horses are loved and well cared for. The views around the property and at the black sand beaches were breathtaking! Would definitely recommend this tour to anyone looking for a unique experience in Iceland.

Great experience! - Great experience. The staff was really nice, the horses seemed really well cared for. We all really enjoyed it. We split off with the faster group and got our fair share of trotting. I will say, it's more about the horse experience than the scenery, but that's fine. Just don't be disappointed that it's not the most scenic of your time in Iceland. They had snowsuits you could wear if you weren't bundled up enough for the weather.

Don't miss this if you like horses - I had such a great time here. They did a great job of preparing us and finding out about our experience riding to match us with an appropriate horse. Although being with the horses and riding was my favourite part, the landscape was also phenomenal. The leader of our group shared very interesting stories with me (my horse was second in line) about Icelandic horses, the farm, and the natural environment. We had lots of time to spend time with our horse after the ride, take pics, etc.

A must do in Iceland! - The ride was a trip highlight for me! It was so amazing. The staff were so great and accommodating! If I could give more stars I would. A lovely experience that I would definitely recommend!

Pretty good! - Me and my friend pretty much blindly booked this tour last second before our trip to Iceland, and I’d say it was worth it. The trip was nice, and the landscape was gorgeous, especially during summer and in the sun. The guides were very kind and helpful! They offered to take pictures at the destination, as well as some grazing and fun facts about the Icelandic horse, which was super sweet! Socializing with the other tourists which were as excited as me was also really fun! I had a really good time on my horse. Even if he was a bit of a pushy youngster, he was the most wonderful little guy. I could absolutely tell that the horses are being trained very well! The reason why I’m giving this tour a 4/5 is because of some difficulties with the pickup, and because the lines on our trip went well out of control. On the trip, you get separated into two groups. One group for those who want to take it slow, and one for those who want to tölt/trot. There were definitely a lot of people who overestimated their ability and went for the speedier group without knowing how to control a horse properly. This led to the line being cut, random people stopping at random times right in your face, people not knowing how to walk on or control their speed, etc. which threw the entire group out of proportion. I could feel both me and my horse get stressed and upset with the situation as it kept happening the entire trip. I’m sure this could’ve been avoided with some more checks on the riders experience level. Else from that our trip was very lovely. When you register your hotel as your pickup place, make sure to check your spam/trash folders for any mails about pickup information, as we never received this mail and kept waiting for half an hour as we didn’t know that we were supposed to meet up at a bus stop nearby. Thankfully the situation solved itself in the end! Thank you for having me Íshestar! ❤️
