Description

Ride an Icelandic horse through the countryside near Reykjavik on this half-day tour with pickup, suitable for beginners and experienced riders.

You're picked up near your accommodation in Reykjavik in the morning or early afternoon and driven to a horse farm in the countryside, where you meet your guide and the horses.

Icelandic horses are known for their gentle temperament and resilience. The breed has five gaits, including the smooth tolt and the flying pace, which most other breeds don't have.

Your guide matches you with a horse that suits your riding experience and gives you a short safety briefing and the basic commands you need for the ride.

The route may, for example, cross the Varma River and finish on good riding paths in the meadows south of the farm.

After the ride, you return to the farm, say goodbye to your horse, and head back to Reykjavik.

Check availability by choosing a date.
