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!

Viking Heliskiing specializes in heliskiing trips in the north part of Iceland. Troll Peninsula is our main heli-skiing area, a world class skiing area with thousands of slopes waiting for their first descents. Viking has a powerful team of skilful and experienced ski guides, specializing in challenging conditions. The Troll peninsula, our main skiing area, has variable terrain to offer and choices that should fit all types of skiers. During winter you can ski until it is dark and watch the majestic northern lights dance in the sky. In the springtime, there is nothing like skiing down slopes in between the towering peaks, ending the ride where the shoreline meets the North Atlantic.

I was staying with Anna and Halldór for 6 weeks. They are very nice and open minded people. They took me in like a family member and made my stay memorable. I had the opportunity to ride a lot with many different horses. The horses are super nice and they will find you a horse that fits your experience.
