Would this be cheaper direct? No — we sell at Íshestar Riding Tours'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.

About this experience

Embark on a horse riding adventure in Iceland and explore the unspoiled beauty of its nature in comfort. Our horse riding day tour is designed especially for beginners, who want to experience the thrill of riding the amazing Icelandic horse while enjoying the breathtaking scenery around them.

Led by experienced guides, you will take a ride through moss-covered lava fields and along riding paths, surrounded by stunning vistas of Iceland's nature, like the panoramic view of the majestic Bláfjöll mountains. Our guides will ensure that you feel safe and comfortable during the ride, and will make sure that you have plenty of opportunities to get to know the Icelandic horse.

    Wonderful! Small group really appreciate the attention we were given. Loved to have personal space with the horses before we road. Great trainers took time to explain everything. They took pictures/ video of us riding with our phones for great memories. One hour was perfectly pleasant for us to enjoy.

    Horses and Waffles tour was perfect for beginners and young kids. The trainers, instructions, and of course horses were amazing. We all had a really good experience and highly recommend this place. Ending the tour on a sweet note with complimentary waffles and hot chocolate was awesome.
