About this experience

We invite you to visit our farm (sheep and horses) and get to know the icelandic farm life.

During the month of May, the sheep give birth to the adorable and cuddly little lambs, aww - you just have to experience it

Description from the operator, Safarihestar slf. Prices and availability in the booking panel are live.

Good to know

It is a farm - you might smell it in your clothes but your next wash / airout will fix it.

Please take care rinsing off your boots after visiting us

Why this one and not the cheaper one?

The nearest cheaper Sigló Stroll from Sóti Summits is €36 — €37 less. Here is every difference we can actually measure.

On everything we can measure, the Sóti Summits tour is the better buy. The €37 is not buying anything we can point to, so unless you want this operator in particular, take the cheaper one.

OMG. Best horse tour ever!! I had so much fun with my partner and Josie on our tour. It was beyond what I imagined, so much fun and adventure. We got to go off the dirt paths and into the rocks and hills of Iceland. It was awesome getting to tölt! I love horses, and the only thing I love more is birds. So it was incredible that our guide knew so much about the birds during our tour, too! I loved learning about the ecology and geology of Lake Myvatin. Couldn't have asked for a better tour or tour guide. Such a personalized experience! I'd say it was money well spent, worth it for the once in a lifetime experience.

Our best riding tour in Iceland We loved our 1-hour tour around Lake Mývatn and the pseudocraters with Josie! It’s a wonderful family-run farm, and they gave us great safety instructions before we set off. You can really tell how much they care about their horses. Horses rides maximum two hours a day for two weeks, and then get a full week off in the pastures to rest. Plus vacation all winter as well. It was beautiful, friendly, and very ethical. Highly recommended! ⭐️

This tour was a great experience! My partner and I did the two hour tour with Josie. She did an excellent job of pairing us with horses that fit our experience. The ride was so beyond what I expected it to be. We walked and tolted through the countryside, saw many birds, and learned about the lava formations. I would book again in a heartbeat!

Fantastic experience! We booked a private tour as we are experienced riders and absolutely loved it. After a kind welcome we were able to experience the beautiful landscape on horseback while learning so much interesting information about the area. They matched the horses very well for our personality. Would absolutely recommend for experienced riders in small groups to book the ride!!
