Horse Riding Tours in Iceland
About 100 horses live with us during the whole year and during the months of June, July and August some other 20 join the herd. Curious young horses, mysterious cities of the Elves, a Viking treasure hidden in the ground, attractive valleys, rivers and a colorful world of wonders are waiting for the guest.

We ride through remote valleys to the North Atlantic and with a herd of freely running horses to Lake Myvatn, the famous lake of the midges.

Riding Tours for all Seasons
In the autumn, when the first snow-flakes are announcing winter, our guests may experience our new riding tour "Autumn Colors and Northern Lights" - a fascinating tour through the autumnal landscape of Northern Iceland. Since the year 2000 we are offering tours in the South of the country.

The Polar Hestar riding tours are from different length and suitable for experienced and less experienced riders.
