Wonderful experience! Horses are well trained and it was an easy ride. There is an option for a faster ride, we opted for the slow and steady! Saw some beautiful landscapes. Highly recommend

Really cute horse named Harry Potter. Very good guides. I chose the slow option. Good equipment to stay warm and dry. You don't need to bring anything except your enthusiasm.

Everything was so wonderful! My first ever experience with Icelandic horses and it'll be one i will never forget. The guides and other staff were so informative and looked after all riders to the highest detail. The next time I come back to this beautiful country, you can bet I'll be back with the horses.

A truly amazing tour around the volcanos! I being an experienced rider went into the advanced group while my friends took the slower relaxed route - the guides were extremely helpful in matching each horse to riders comfortability and skill level - the ride was beautiful and informative and getting to speed up and get the horses into the special Tölt gait was so much fun! After the ride they encourage you to hang with the horses in the pen and take has many photos and cuddles as you would like - very relaxed and hands on experience!
