our favorite horse riding tours
(this is how we love to spend our pastime)   
​

​We specialize in high quality
small group tours and private tours
​​​​
We operate all of our horseback riding tours in Iceland in cooperation with local partners that are horse people through and through. They breed their own horses and train them themselves. Our partners are the experts we turn to in order to provide the most authentic and original experience for our guests. All of our partners operate their tours in their home region where they know each and every mountain, creek and canyon. Our partners are our local experts – they know the hidden gems you don´t read about in guidebooks and​ they know the tales, songs and stories associated with every trail. 

​Horseback Riding in Iceland is a thrilling adventure
not be beaten by anything 
​
        WE LOOK FORWARD TO MEETING YOU
​IN THE SADDLE!
