Overview

Saddle up and explore the wild Icelandic lava landscapes on this exciting horseback riding tour. This two-hour horse-riding experience is perfect for adventurers of all skill levels. Whether you’re an experienced rider or a complete beginner, you’ll be enchanted by Iceland’s volcanic beauty and the warm nature of our Icelandic horses. 

The tour starts at a horse farm located on the outskirts of Reykjavík. You’ll be greeted there by a local guide, who’ll begin the experience by telling you about the fantastic creature known as the Icelandic horse. 

Icelandic horses are known for their intelligence, small stature, and unique gait called tölt. The tour will focus on this smooth, effortless gait that sets the Icelandic horse apart from all others. 

Your guide will show you the basics of horseriding, including how to reach the tölt pace. The passionate guide will make sure everyone feels at ease, and by the time you’re ready to mount up, you are sure to be brimming with confidence and excitement—even if you’ve never ridden before. Once the guide has paired you up with the perfect horse, it’s time to head out into the rugged countryside.

The trail will lead you through amazing lava landscapes of black rocks and red hills. Throughout the journey, your friendly guides will ensure you’re having a great time, snapping photos of you along the way to capture those unforgettable moments. By the end of the tour, you’ll not only have fantastic memories, but also photos that show off your incredible adventure.
