Golden Ride – Day tour in Golden Circle area — Íslandshestar

Would this be cheaper direct? No — we sell at Íslandshestar's own price and take our commission from them, not from you. What you get here is one checkout across operators, one confirmation, and one place to change or cancel it. If you ever find it cheaper on their own site, tell us and we will match it or explain why we cannot.

    I did the Kerlingarfjöll Tour and it was great. The places we stayed at were alright (as depicted online) but the guides were really great and the horses were well looked after. It was definitely an adventure (and I'd do it again in a heartbeat!)

    I just got back from a 4-day trek with Islandshestar. What a great experience! Sophie and Hanse are wonderful hosts, along with Hanse's parents. Excellent horses. They take excellent care of their guests, and the rides are spectacular (even with the 35mph sustained winds we had all week). I plan to come back!

    I just finished a 6 day tour of Snaefellsnes Penisula. This was my first tour and it exceeded all my expectations!. Asberg and Sigga were friendly and very knowledgeable. Our guide Magdalena was fantastic. She was attentive to our needs, shared information about the area and Iceland in general and made everyone feel welcome. I have fallen in lo e with Iceland,Islandic horses and can't wait to book my next tour with Islandshestar.
