Experience a private horseback riding tour through the Icelandic countryside on well-trained horses with personalized instruction, perfect for all skill levels and ages 6+.

Enjoy an exclusive horseback riding experience designed just for you and your group! Ideal for both beginners and experienced riders, this private tour allows you to create wonderful memories with your family or friends while exploring the stunning Icelandic countryside at your own pace.

We begin in our riding hall, where you will meet your horse and receive personalized instruction on the basics of riding. Afterward, we'll head outside to embark on your private adventure together.

Our horses are safe and well-trained, suitable for both inexperienced and experienced riders, all possessing a smooth Tölt gait. Children must be at least 6 years old; those under 8 will be guided by one of our experienced staff members, while older children will receive assistance as needed.

With your own private guide, you'll receive undivided attention and the freedom to fully connect with your horse and the breathtaking Icelandic scenery. We ensure that each rider is matched with the best horse for their skill level.

Please arrive 15 minutes before your scheduled tour time.
