Icelandic Horse Riding

Icelandic Horse Riding is a unique and memorable experience that takes you on a breathtaking journey through the landscapes and untouched nature of Iceland. These horses have a distinct breed with unique gaits. Several tours for exploring lava caves or beaches on horse-back are available online.

You can explore the mountains, rivers and valleys, perched on a horse, admiring the beauty of Iceland's natural environment. Even if you're new to horse riding, Icelandic horse riding is said to accommodate riders of all skill levels, so you need not worry about your level of expertise. Tour operators provide a range of carefully tailored packages for different proficiency levels, from which you can select a ride that best suits your abilities. 

Two-day tours are ideal for beginners or those who haven't been riding for long. Intermediate tours last 4 to 6 days and advanced tours are 6 to 8 days long. You can choose riding tours in the Reykjavik area as they are suitable for all levels, from beginners to experienced riders. Some operators also offer private tours starting from one-hour rides up to multiple days for an individual, a family, or a larger group of friends.
