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

We invite you to visit our farm (sheep and horses) and get to know the icelandic farm life. 

During the month of May, the sheep give birth to the adorable and cuddly little lambs, aww - you just have to experience it

Description from the operator, Safarihestar slf. Prices and availability in the booking panel are live.

Good to know

It is a farm - you might smell it in your clothes but your next wash / airout will fix it.

Please take care rinsing off your boots after visiting us

The €72 buys you clearer cancellation terms. Whether that is worth it is your call — but that is what the difference is.

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.

    OMG. Best horse tour ever!! I had so much fun with my partner and Josie on our tour. It was beyond what I imagined, so much fun and adventure. We got to go off the dirt paths and into the rocks and hills of Iceland. It was awesome getting to tölt! I love horses, and the only thing I love more is birds. So it was incredible that our guide knew so much about the birds during our tour, too! I loved learning about the ecology and geology of Lake Myvatin. Couldn't have asked for a better tour or tour guide. Such a personalized experience! I'd say it was money well spent, worth it for the once in a lifetime experience.

    This tour was a great experience! My partner and I did the two hour tour with Josie. She did an excellent job of pairing us with horses that fit our experience. The ride was so beyond what I expected it to be. We walked and tolted through the countryside, saw many birds, and learned about the lava formations. I would book again in a heartbeat!

    Fantastic experience! We booked a private tour as we are experienced riders and absolutely loved it. After a kind welcome we were able to experience the beautiful landscape on horseback while learning so much interesting information about the area. They matched the horses very well for our personality. Would absolutely recommend for experienced riders in small groups to book the ride!!

    We did a 2 hours horseback riding tour, it was absolutely amazing! Our guide nadia was lovely, she gave us good explanations and she made sure we were confortable all along. The landscapes that we went through were mezmerizing and away from the main paths. The horses were adorable and very well trained. I am not a trained rider and i was feeling at ease all along. All in ill, it was a great experience and i highly recommend safarihestar for a horse riding tour!
