I did the Kerlingarfjöll Tour and it was great. The places we stayed at were alright (as depicted online) but the guides were really great and the horses were well looked after. It was definitely an adventure (and I'd do it again in a heartbeat!)

I just got back from a 4-day trek with Islandshestar. What a great experience! Sophie and Hanse are wonderful hosts, along with Hanse's parents. Excellent horses. They take excellent care of their guests, and the rides are spectacular (even with the 35mph sustained winds we had all week). I plan to come back!

I just finished a 6 day tour of Snaefellsnes Penisula. This was my first tour and it exceeded all my expectations!. Asberg and Sigga were friendly and very knowledgeable. Our guide Magdalena was fantastic. She was attentive to our needs, shared information about the area and Iceland in general and made everyone feel welcome. I have fallen in lo e with Iceland,Islandic horses and can't wait to book my next tour with Islandshestar.
