*Escape the crowds - Private tour*
Experience the Icelandic horse tradition on a small farm, located just 20 minutes from downtown Reykjavik. Despite being so close to the city, you will feel like you are deep in the countryside when you arrive at the farm. There just a small number of horses here and tours are always operated just for you and your private group, so that they have an intimate, personal and authentic feel. We will take you on a horse riding tour to Lake Hafravatn, where you can admire the scenery while spending time with our friendly horses. This is an excellent tour for first time riders and experienced riders alike.
Full riding time is roughly two hours.

Highly recommend this private riding tour! Our guide Karina was extremely knowledgeable, competent, and friendly. After talking with everyone in our group individually, she picked out our horses and explained why she matched them up with us. She also described each horse's personality, and told us what to expect from them on the tour. The horses were very well trained and had wonderful temperaments. The scenery was so beautiful! This was my favorite activity on our trip.

Wonderful experience both for an experienced rider and beginner. Horses were well mannered and well trained. Scenery was extraordinary on valley and hill ride. Linnea led us through our ride calmly and professionally!

This was a lovely scenic ride; 2+ hours of actual riding. We also helped to tack up and turn out at the conclusion. Our guide was great about choosing horses for our respective riding experience levels. I don’t know if I’d recommend this ride for an absolute novice rider, but we had a rider with low-level experience and she was comfortable with the Icee gait. Given the time she took with us plus the great horses and beautiful ride, this was well worth a half-day experience.

Lovely ponies and very lovely guide who gave us lots of advice on places to see afterwards. My 2 girls are experienced riders so this was a proper ride rather than a pony trek as they cater for all abilities. Absolute highlight of the trip for my daughters!

Excellent overall, especially for our family with little riding experience; we could not ask for a better guide, who was exceptionally knowledgeable and friendly.

Staff was very accommodating and worked to match up each of us to a particular horse. In fact, we actually swapped horses part way through, as it became clearer which horse would suit a rider.
Effort was made to have each writer spend some time with the horse, brushing them before saddling, leading them around, etc.
The terrain and area traveled was a great mix, and especially beautiful with so many things in summer bloom. Some of the best pictures of the entire trip, in fact! A lot of fun and worth every kroner (but you'll be tired, dusty, and sore!).

Amazing private experience and great communication with the owner. Our guide Anastasia was super friendly and answered all our questions. We helped groom the horses pre ride and gave them post ride snacks. Fun to try and tölt which is an extended smoother trot. Highly recommend this family owned organization!
