Would this be cheaper direct? No — we sell at Hestaland'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.

Cancellation for this tour
Cancelling costs 50% of the price within 5 days of departure, rising to 75% within 3 days. If the operator cancels for weather or safety, you get a full refund or a new date.
Why this one and not the cheaper one?
The nearest cheaper Golden Ride – Day tour in Golden Circle area from Íslandshestar is €0 — €118 less. Here is every difference we can actually measure.
| Hestaland · €118 | Íslandshestar · €0 | |
|---|---|---|
| How long it runs | 1.5 hours | 1 hour |
| Changing your mind | Not stated | No free cancellation |
The €118 buys you 0.5 more hours out and clearer cancellation terms. Whether that is worth it is your call — but that is what the difference is.
Sold out on your date?
Seats come back — a cancellation, or the operator adding a vehicle. Tell us the date and we will check once a day and email you if one opens. One email, then we delete the address; nothing else is ever sent to it.

This experience at Hestaland was a peak experience. I couldn’t stop smiling all week. The people, the horse, the landscape and community warmed my heart and spirit.

Wonderful staff and beautiful horses. The guide made sure everyone got to experience the tilt gate the horses are known for. Nice ride along a little river with small waterfalls and rapids. At one point the guide stopped and took our picture.

Great place to go horseback riding! It was something I really wanted to do on our trip and the team here definitely delivered, our guide was patient and the views were stunning. I went with my family and all of us were beginner riders (read: pretty much never ridden horses before) and were able to have a pleasant ride. My mom’s horse was being stubborn and not very willing to walk so our guide tied its reins to her horse and chatted with my mom the whole ride — guess she got an exclusive tour haha! We went for one hour with a half hour prep/training beforehand. They have you do some small loops indoors to practice getting ahold of controlling the reins. At the furthest point of the ride the guide took a family photo for us and we headed back.

Had such a lovely morning horse ride here, Kirsty our guide was knowledgable and friendly with the cutest little dog! We were very lucky and managed to book onto a small trail ride the night before. The scenery is lovely and I would highly recommend!
