About this experience

Embark on a horse riding adventure in Iceland and explore the unspoiled beauty of its nature in comfort. Our horse riding day tour is designed especially for beginners, who want to experience the thrill of riding the amazing Icelandic horse while enjoying the breathtaking scenery around them.

Led by experienced guides, you will take a ride through moss-covered lava fields and along riding paths, surrounded by stunning vistas of Iceland's nature, like the panoramic view of the majestic Bláfjöll mountains. Our guides will ensure that you feel safe and comfortable during the ride, and will make sure that you have plenty of opportunities to get to know the Icelandic horse.

Why this one and not the cheaper one?

The nearest cheaper Reykjavík Luggage Storage in BSI Bus Terminal from BagBee is €12 — €109 less. Here is every difference we can actually measure.

The €109 buys you free cancellation up to 24 h before. Whether that is worth it is your call — but that is what the difference is.

Who this is not for

Wonderful! Small group really appreciate the attention we were given. Loved to have personal space with the horses before we road. Great trainers took time to explain everything. They took pictures/ video of us riding with our phones for great memories. One hour was perfectly pleasant for us to enjoy.

Horses and Waffles tour was perfect for beginners and young kids. The trainers, instructions, and of course horses were amazing. We all had a really good experience and highly recommend this place. Ending the tour on a sweet note with complimentary waffles and hot chocolate was awesome.

Wonderful trek out on beautiful Icelandic horses, who all knew their jobs so well (but would also move out to a canter when we wanted them to!) impressive network of trails up.to the lava fields and great to feel the tolt as well, the 5th gait unique to Icelandics
