    Amazing riding experience

    I enjoyed the most amazing ride with Viking Horses! My horse was very gentle and surefooted. The guides were kind and supportive to all members of our small group, regardless of riding experience. The entire experience was safe, enabling me to enjoy the beauty of Iceland and the thrill of the tölt. I highly recommend.

    An amazing horse ride with sisters

    My sister and I had a wonderful time one our Viking Iceland horse ride. My sister is not a rider and they matched her to a wonderful horse that took good care of her. I got a little mare with big personality. She was great! She came into frame when I asked, leg yielded around turns on the trail and had amazing gaits. She was eager to work and please me, which she did! This tour is great for experienced riders and non riders alike. And the red lava and forest scenery is gorgeous!

    Response from the operator: Thank you for coming Middy :) I am super happy you guys enjoyed it, best regards Viggo

    Delighted for the ride

    Great experience w/ Icelandic horses! The staff selected horses perfect for rider’s ability. They also allowed more experienced riders to canter at the end of the 2 hr ride. The leader took photos of each group & sent to us. They picked us up at our hotel which was really a bonus as I wouldn’t have been able to get out w/o renting a car. Highly recommend if you want a riding experience

    Response from the operator: Thank you Sylvia, it means allot to us that you enjoyed the experience, see ya next time ;) Best regards Viggo

    Perfect experience

    An absolutely perfect experience from start to finish! The Icelandic horses were gorgeous, calm, and well-trained, making the ride feel completely safe and enjoyable. Riding through the breathtaking volcanic landscapes and lush forest areas was unforgettable, and experiencing their unique, smooth gait—the tölt—was a true highlight. Afterwards, the transfer to Sky Lagoon was seamless, and soaking there was the ultimate way to relax and wrap up the adventure. Highly recommended!

    Response from the operator: Thank you so much for coming, and the kind words, it inspires us to keep up the good work, provide excellent service and a unforgettable memory :) Kind Regards Viggo

    Finding peace riding an Icelandic Horse!

    As a lifelong equine professional and someone who guided trail rides in their youth, I wanted an experience that fit my skill level! Viggo as kind and put up with my many inquiries beforehand. We settled on a one hour private ride with pickup from Reykjavík and added a Skye Lagoon package for myself & mother. My guide MH was excellent and fun to ride with!

    Response from the operator: Thank you Alix for the kind words, it was great having you, I hope you enjoyed the Sky Lagoon also :) Best regards Viggo

    Icelandic Horseback Riding Tour from Reykjavik: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Icelandic Horseback Riding Tour from Reykjavik cost?

    +

    Prices start at $192 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 Icelandic Horseback Riding Tour from Reykjavik take?

    +

    Plan for about 3 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 Icelandic Horseback Riding Tour from Reykjavik worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 63 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 8 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 Icelandic Horseback Riding Tour from Reykjavik?

    +

    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 Icelandic Horseback Riding Tour from Reykjavik suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Icelandic Horseback Riding Tour from Reykjavik?

    +

    Around 3 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 3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Icelandic Horseback Riding Tour from Reykjavik 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.
