  • Itinerary

Our Black Beach Riding Tour is an easy-going one hour ride perfectly suited for beginners and people who don’t go horse riding often, but we welcome riders of all abilities. Our horses are friendly and sure-footed, perfect to enjoy the wild Icelandic terrain. In the summer there is a chance to spot puffins flying above us, and in winter the ever-changing weather highlights the rugged beauty of the landscape.

The tours are mostly at walking speed, but for those who are capable there is the chance to try some tölt, the special gait of the Icelandic horse.

Please note we have a weight limit of 100 kg / 220 lbs, and riders must be aged 10+. We are committed to the welfare of our horses and reserve the right to ask riders to step on a scale. We ask you to be at the stable, dressed and ready to ride, 15 minutes before your departure time.

Our tour is an easygoing one-hour ride, but we require all participants to be physically fit enough to mount independently. We get on the horses from the ground as this is how they are trained in Iceland (not to stand with a stool/mounting block).

  • A 100% charge applies if canceled within 2 days of the start time.

Clothing according to weather, f.ex. gloves and good sneakers or hiking boots.
