What to expect

There's only one breed of horse in Iceland – and it has remained pure for more than a thousand years – the Icelandic horse. These friendly creatures and their specially trained guides will escort you on a tour through ancient riding paths.

Expect to experience stunning scenery full of rocky lava fields and wintery landscapes. This tour is ideal both for beginners and experienced riders as groups are organised by riding skill. It means that you'll get to enjoy your own individual experience and adventure.

This is a chance to try something different – Icelandic horses are small, almost pony-sized creatures with prominent manes and low tails. Despite their apparent slightness, they're capable of great acceleration and speed. A great chance to be at one with nature.

    Amazing experience. The staff at the centre were welcoming & very helpful in getting us kitted out for the ride. They were careful to select horses suitable for each person's level of experience - in my case none since I was about 18. I forgot how old I was & had some doubt as to whether I could actually mount the horse - problem solved with a helpful push up. The ride was for around an hour along paths through lava fields - very picturesque. Guide made frequent checks to see that all was okay.

    They were warm and friendly. Everything was explained thoroughly and even a verbal riding lesson which was effective. Horses were beautiful well schooled and nice mannered. Couldn't fault it.

    It was great that we got to get to know our horse before riding. Having the opportunity to go slow or fast track was a bonus. The staff were fantastic, they took their time to take our photos making sure everyone was happy. It was not rushed at all It was really relaxing experience. I would definitely do it again and recommend to everyone.

    Amazing experience, wonderful views and it was lovely how the guides took each of our pictures on the horse. The only negative was when instructions were given by the guide leading the ride, it was impossible to hear further back.

Musement southern Iceland tour

If you want to escape the city and see a bit more of Iceland, this trip is ideal. It introduces you to the country's south coast, where thundering waterfalls, snow-topped volcanoes and a stark coastline lie ready and waiting.You'll make a couple of stops at the area's biggest waterfalls, Seljalandsfoss and Skogafoss, where you'll have enough time to take some photos. Eyjafjallajökull is part of the line-up, too.The volcano that erupted back in 2010 is a picture of serenity these days, sleeping soundly beneath a huge sheet of ice and snow. The real highlight of the day, though, is Vik. This huge beach is covered in black pebbles, and boasts weird and wonderful basalt rock formations.
