I had never been on a horse before, but the staff made it easy and fun for my and my wife. The horses were fantastically calm, and had just the right balance of "listen to this tourist" and "do what I know I'm supposed to do whether this tourist tells me to or not". The weather was a little terrible,... More

The tour was a fantastic experience and the best thing that we did during our whole trip to Iceland. Neither myself nor my boyfriend had ever ridden a horse before but Begga and her husband Sven made us feel really comfortable and the whole experience was fantastic! We were taken out to the beautiful, desolate lava fields and as there... More

Islenski Hesturinn is a fantastic place to experience the Icelandic horse! Begga and Sven were lovely, passionate hosts to the experience, and told us many interesting facts about Iceland and Icelandic horses during the tour.

Our guides, Inga and Begga, were so awesome. We were picked up at our hotel on time and driven to the farm. A wonderful welcome space where we had a short lesson and a bit of history on the Islandic Horse. These ladies are so fun, yet very safety conscious, we felt very safe at all times. It was an...

When you visit Iceland make sure you ride these amazing creatures and make sure you do it with Islenski Hesturinn.

They will make you feel very welcomed into their lives and the... More

All the equipment is provided such as warm overalls and gloves (thank goodness, it was c-o-l-d!) as well as clear instructions on how to communicate with your horse. The... More
