Start your day off with a horse riding adventure in Iceland and explore the unspoiled beauty of its nature in comfort. Our horse riding 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 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.
After the tour, we invite you to relax and enjoy complimentary coffee, tea, and hot chocolate at our stables. Our friendly staff will be happy to answer any questions you may have about the Icelandic horse, its history, and its unique characteristics.
At Íshestar, we take pride in providing a personalised service that caters to the needs of each of our guests. To ensure a safe and enjoyable experience, we limit the size of our riding groups to 6 people or fewer. This makes our tour the perfect choice for families, couples, or groups of friends looking for a fun and memorable day tour in Reykjavik.
This day tour is the perfect way to experience the beauty of Icelandic nature while riding the Icelandic horse in a walk. Join us for an unforgettable adventure that you will cherish for a lifetime. If you would like to go for a longer tour we would recommend the Lava Tour and if you are experienced and would like to go faster and e.g. try gallop, we recommend our Viking tour Book now and make the most of your day!

Riding clothes. Riding gear (riding trousers, jackets, etc.) needs to be washed (40°C) or dry cleaned. Items which can not be washed or dry cleaned (riding boots, riding hats) need to be cleaned and disinfected at least five days prior to arriving in Iceland. The Icelandic Veterinary Authority recommends the broad-spectrum disinfectant Virkon S for disinfection. Used riding gloves, whips, saddles, bridles, chaps and other used leather gear may not be brought into the country.
Please understand that these precautions are necessary because there are no contagious animal diseases in Iceland. Horses are not vaccinated and are therefore susceptible to infectious agents from abroad. Please help us to protect Iceland’s fragile nature!
