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
​​​​
Our signature tours are our luxury Hotel Stay Riding Tours with micro groups of only   2-6 guests, fascinating itineraries and lovely authentic country hotels which do not come short of true comfort and delicious Icelandic cuisine! These tours offer a very personal touch where our guests are true riding partners and the course of travel is created around the wishes and expectations of our guests. Non-riding travel companions are always welcome along and we are happy to create a bespoke itinerary for them. 

We also offer a few other riding tours in cooperation with handpicked local partners to cater for shorter rides, highland rides, farm stays, riding lessons and special tours. All of our partners operate their tours in their home region where they know each and every mountain, creek and canyon. They are our local experts and know the hidden gems you don´t read about in guidebooks and​ they know the tales, songs and stories associated with every trail.

Last but not least - we love to create bespoke itineraries for private tours from small to larger groups with sightseeing, food experiences, lessons and other activities!
