Very good ride excperience: clean stable, frienly guides, beautiful landscape, good horses.
Great experience, great staff, horses were excellent. Make sure you go with the experienced group and not beginners group, even if you are a beginner! Gives you a much fuller experience!
The tour guides are super sweet, kind, and very knowledgeable. The horses were well trained, beautiful, and easy going. Mine whose name I cannot pronounce without messing it up was an absolute Joy( his name in English). He was a bit dramatic, snackish, and a big sweetheart. He kept sneaking snacks of the grass as we passed by. The guides taught me how to redirect him to back on track. If you want a fun activity for all ages this is it.
The employees were very friendly and helpful answering questions and making sure all the gear fit properly. They were happy to take picture and videos on the trail ride.
I had such a fun time. The team members took good care of us and made sure that we were safe. I’d recommend this to anyone that’s interested.
Just beautiful, great staff. Very engaging. Loved the horses and the beautiful scenery. Well run organization.
A group of four of us went and we were all thrilled with the total experience. Very professional and knowledgeable individuals with all aspects of the organization. Thanks for a wonderful time.
We did a 2 hour tour with pick-up directly from our hotel in Reykjavik. The driver arrived right on time in a nice bus. The facilities were very nice and before the tour started we got to meet the many horses that were eager to see us at the fence line. We were all pulling up grass and feeding them - they were so friendly. We then walked into the paddock and they assigned us horses. We are all beginners and had no issues with any of the horses - they were so easy to ride. After about 15 minutes of riding, they split the group into those who wanted to continue with a slower walk and those who wanted to go faster. My son went with the faster group and loved it even though he was a beginner. They allowed "adventurous beginners" to go on the faster ride. The landscape was beautiful and we all enjoyed the ride. There were multiple guides who checked in frequently with us to make sure we were good during the ride. After we got back to the paddock, we wanted a family picture and they were nice enough to let us wait on our horses for my son to return and then took many excellent pictures of the four of us.
Wonderful! One of the highlights of our trip to Iceland! The guides were terrific and the scenery was amazing.
It was a lovely. Icelandic horses are fabulous. The guides were knowledgeable and safety oriented. This came into play when my husband's horse tripped. Both my husband and the horse were cared for well.
