We took a 2 hours tour today at Polarhestar and absolutely loved it! We were a group of four on very different riding levels, and Karla, our tour guide, managed to find the perfect horse for each of us. She was absolutely lovely and made the whole tour a great experience for everyone. Well trained horses and good coffee and cake after the trip where the cherry on the cake. Thank you again, Karla, Stebbi and Polarhestar - we’ll be back!

My friends and I had a great experience during the one hour Icelandic horseback riding tour. We went around the mountains and saw some beautiful views. The horses were lovely and a joy to ride with. Our guide Amanda was very friendly and informative. She was able to teach us how to control the horses to ensure a smooth ride during the entire experience. The prices were average and well worth it. We didn’t book in advance so luckily they were able to accommodate my group of 5. I would definitely recommend this horseback riding experience in Iceland. You won’t get to see these beautiful horses anywhere else.
