This tour offers a fascinating riding experience through the breathtaking landscapes of Stafafell — from colorful mountains to dramatic coastal views. Along the way, you will experience the smooth and unique tölt gait that makes Icelandic horses truly special. Canyon or coast — whichever you choose, both routes promise unforgettable scenery and a deep sense of peace. While some riding experience and good physical condition are recommended, beginners can enjoy a short practice session before setting off. You can choose between an invigorating 2-hour ride or an immersive 4-hour adventure.

Friendly horses, enjoyable guided tours and an authentic Icelandic experience that feels welcoming, like being at home. Thank you! - WWolframabout provider10 Mar, 2024
Wir haben jetzt schon zum fünften Mal eine Tour gemacht. Alle Touren sind richtig gut organisiert. Die Pferde sind super und die Strecken sind echt schön anzusehen Wir übernachten auf isländischen Bauernhöfen und die Atmosphäre ist total familiär und toll. Diese Touren sind nur für erfahrene Reiter geeignet Das Team ist großartig und alles ist top organisiert - AAnnetteabout provider5 Dec, 2023I consider them to be the top horse riding company in Iceland. This was my fourth experience with them, and I am already making plans for a trip in 2024!
