This was such an amazing...
This was such an amazing experience! It was raining in Reykjavik when the van picked me up (super easy pickup, the van is well marked with their name and driver was on time) but by the time we got to the horse farm, got suited up in our thick, waterproof gear that was provided it had stopped raining and we had a wonderful experience! The young guy who was our guide had so much knowledge and a lot of fun stories about the horses and what it was like growing up in Iceland working with the horses. The Icelandic horses were so wonderful, very sure footed and knew what their job was! Be sure you are able to physically mount and dismount without a mounting block. I had only ever ridden western style but Icelandic riding is kind of a mix between English and western styles so was easy to adjust. One person in my group had never ridden before and a couple of times she needed help so if you aren’t experienced, make sure to stay relaxed in the saddle, keep your heels away from the sides of your horse as you ride (or they may think you want to go faster!) and pull the reins towards you with both hands to stop. About halfway through you will get a break where you dismount in a field, let the horses graze a bit and take lots of beautiful pictures. My first day in Iceland I took this tour and it was the perfect start to my trip! Highly recommend!

Good time, great views, and amazing tour operators
My wife and I did this tour came from pick up to drop off. Everything was seamless and our guide guides were amazing. The horses were calm and gentle, and the scenery was breathtaking.

Great for experienced riders, too!
The horses at Laxnes Farm are friendly, beautiful and very healthy. The staff is kind and took us on a beautiful trail. I rode in the advanced group which was fun because we spent most of the time at the Tolt, which is very comfortable! I felt very safe the entire time. Highly recommend!!

Fun experience, well-organized
I really enjoyed this excursion. The operator picked me up from a downtown bus stop for the ride out to the farm. They did a nice job of matching horses with rider experience and I ended up with a sweetheart of a horse. I'm a novice and I thought I might struggle, but once they helped me up, it was a lot of fun. The ride was longer than I expected, and went through some beautiful countryside. The escorts checked on everyone regularly during the ride. It would have been nice to learn more about the Icelandic horse breed, but the group was about a dozen people, so there wasn't much of a chance for that. I would recommend this excursion to anyone looking for a fun outdoor experience.

Why this scores 83
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Icelandic Horseback Riding Tour Including Pick Up from Reykjavik: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Reykjavik.
How much does Icelandic Horseback Riding Tour Including Pick Up from Reykjavik cost?
+
Prices start at $172 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 Including Pick Up from Reykjavik take?
+
Plan for about 3.5 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 Including Pick Up from Reykjavik worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 83 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 889 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most popular in Reykjavik, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Icelandic Horseback Riding Tour Including Pick Up 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 Including Pick Up from Reykjavik suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Icelandic Horseback Riding Tour Including Pick Up from Reykjavik?
+
Around 311 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 3.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Icelandic Horseback Riding Tour Including Pick Up 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.
