This was a great experience! Our guide, Lara, was knowledgeable and friendly, especially for some beginner riders. We rode through beautiful scenery, and were able to take a few short breaks throughout the tour. Afterwards we were served tea and a delicious cake, which was a lovely way to wrap up the tour. The experience was well worth the reasonable price. Highly recommend!I just stopped at the Ytri-Bægisá farm for a horseback ride. It is located directly at road number 1 and really easy to reach. They gave me a really nice Icelandichorse and take me to the nature. The surrounding is stunning and I was able to try the tölt. Absolutely recommended this place!

Iceland as a whole is a great country. Landscape is picturesque with cascading waterfalls, boiling springs, hot springs, geysers, glaciers as well as land glaciers where you can go into ice caves. The world has only one volcano where you’re able to be dropped down into and that is in Iceland. Being dropped down nearly 400’ into that volcano and walking around at the bottom so was one of my favorite excursions. Taking a helicopter ride over the year 21, 22, 23 volcanoes was also an amazing experience. Visiting the hot spring cave that Jon Snow & Igrette of Game of Thrones was briefly filmed in was also an excellent choice. The privacy at Hvammsvik hot springs along with a cold ocean plunge is a must stop as well. There are just too many places to list. Iceland is a place that you have to witness to appreciate the true beauty. Horses and sheep cover the landscape as you travel along the country on Ring rd. horse population is something like a ratio of 1:4 residents. And sheep, you’ll be amazed at how many times you see a group of three sheep gathered together. So many times that you’ll wonder why. Lol I would recommend no less than 10 days, more of you have the time and money. Iceland isn’t cheap but I’ll tell you it’s worth every penny. Did I mention the food? Fresh and delicious, and expensive. But we only live once on this earth so just do it. Visit Iceland and live to tell about it.It was amazing. We have great time and still have great emotions. The host and instructors were very nice and helpful. We'll definitely come back next August. Enjoy!
