    About this experience

    *Escape the crowds - private tour* Experience the Icelandic horse tradition on a small farm, located just 20 minutes from downtown Reykjavik. Despite being so close to the city, you will feel like you are deep in the countryside when you arrive at the farm. There just a small number of horses here and tours are always operated just for you and your private group, so that they have an intimate, personal and authentic feel. We will take you on a horse riding tour to mosfellsdale,  where you can admire the scenery while spending time with our friendly horses. This tour is an excellent tour for those with some good riding experience, who want to take on a little bit longer and more challenging ride. Due to the length of the ride there will be plenty of time to try the different gaits and really get to know the Icelandic horse and explore the environment that has shaped him into what he is to day.  Riding time around 3 hours.

    Amazing experience on our 3-hour ride - They were the perfect choice and we'd ride with them again in a heartbeat!

    We did a tour at the beginning of August 2025 and, frankly, it was one of the top highlights of our Iceland trip! Our guide, Jonina, was so lovely and took wonderful care of us. Unlike with other hosts, she didn't prepare the horses in advance but took her time to get to know us and our (riding) backgrounds before picking out horses for us. Here choices were spot on and she really chose perfect fits for both of us. The horses were absolutely lovely, so well cared for and trained. We got them ready together to give us a chance to bond with them and during the ride, too, we took some breaks to make sure the horses were also having a good time. 😊 Jonina also gave us some interesting information about the surroundings and Iceland in general as well as great riding advice. (My boyfriend is a beginner rider and only picked up riding to prepare for this trip. Jonina took great care of him, making sure to keep an eye on him. However, since he felt very comfortable and confident she also let us experience all gates, including gallopp, which we both were super excited about). Even though it rained almost non stop we had the time of our lives and Jonina also provided us with rain gear to keep us as dry as possible. Would choose them again in a heartbeat! 😁

    Incredible

    Amazing place where horses are clearly happy and well treated. All of us had fun with different skill levels. Was just an amazing place.

    Truly amazing

    Amazing tour - mountain crossing, small rivers, lush paths and long stretches perfect for tölt or gallop. We loved the horses, the nature and last but not least, our guide (Linnea). Our best Iceland experience!!!

    5 stars!! 🌟

    The owners cousin ( I can't remember her name 😣) was our amazing guide! She spent the time at the beginning talking to us to make sure she put us on horses that would fit our experience levels best so we would all be safe on our ride! My husband has minimal experience and got to ride Freddy, who he absolutely loved! He wasn't excited about this excursion prior to, and had never really loved horses, but was talking about how great Freddy was for DAYSSSS! I grew up helping with/riding my neighbors horses, and have a little more experience (riding in the US with western saddles). I was with a beautiful sweet/calm mare who was feeling a little bit sassy that day (she sometimes wanted to decide where we were going/how fast we were going and needed a little redirection). We had a little rain to start our ride but had great weather and beautiful views for the majority, right up until about 5 minutes before we arrived back at the facility when the skies opened and poured on us, but we still had the best time! *It is SO SO important to listen to your guide!! They're trying to keep riders and horses safe! Be honest with them about your experience levels!! Saying you have lots of experience when you've only ridden a few times can end up hurting you or your horse! Horses are living breathing animals and can be dangerous, listening to your guide is the best way to keep everyone safe!!

    Beautiful horses and nice guides.

    Friendly guides and beautiful horses. We were a group of 9 and had a great time. The guides were so kind to our kids and pleasant to the horses. We enjoyed the ride, even in the “mild” windy conditions. Would recommend on a nice day.

    3 hour Private Horse Riding Tour in Mosfellsdalur: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Reykjavik.

    How much does 3 hour Private Horse Riding Tour in Mosfellsdalur cost?

    +

    Prices start at $270 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Reykjavik usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does 3 hour Private Horse Riding Tour in Mosfellsdalur take?

    +

    Plan for about 4 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Reykjavik is not rushed.

    Is 3 hour Private Horse Riding Tour in Mosfellsdalur worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 66 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 22 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Reykjavik, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule 3 hour Private Horse Riding Tour in Mosfellsdalur?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is 3 hour Private Horse Riding Tour in Mosfellsdalur suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 4-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book 3 hour Private Horse Riding Tour in Mosfellsdalur?

    +

    Around 8 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Reykjavik can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Reykjavik and add a light layer if any part of the 4-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does 3 hour Private Horse Riding Tour in Mosfellsdalur start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Reykjavik within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Reykjavik?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Reykjavik experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Reykjavik Food Walk - Local Foodie Adventure in Iceland, Small-Group Golden Circle, Blue Lagoon with Ticket & Kerid Crater, Reykjavík Small group Walking Tour - by CityWalk. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Reykjavik?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Reykjavik?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
