    Great day!!!

    We had a great day riding with Laxnes. The family that runs this place is wonderful. The guides were patient as our riding experience is very limited. The horses were very nice to us. This was a great way to see the Icelandic scenery.

    Highly recommended

    Definitely book with them. I was later coming in to Iceland than anticipated and was going to miss my planned trip they were incredibly kind and offered to move my excursion to later in the day. Pick up and drop off was very smooth. Everyone was very kind and helpful. The horses were beautiful and a great ride. The views were beautiful.

    Beautiful way to see the countryside

    Nice walk through beautiful countryside. Went through 2 rivers, saw mountains and fields. Horses knew their jobs. Some horses were a bit frisky but nothing even the beginners couldn’t handle. Don’t be afraid to ask questions or let the leaders know if you’re not comfortable with something. The two young women leaders clearly love the horses and their job. The horses and the tack could use a little scrub and polish.

    Laxnes horse farm: welcoming and fun!

    Couldn’t have been happier! Went on the classic day ride. The pickup in Reykjavík was seamless in spite of city maintenance moving the bus stop. Had great email communication with Laxnes farm about the pickup changes. At the farm they took the time to fit helmets and chose appropriate horses based on experience and skill levels. The ride was wonderful and the scenery breathtaking! When we got back from the ride there were fresh pastries and coffee. The owners of the farm were warm and welcoming. Definitely would recommend !

    Icelandic Horse Adventure

    This established family run business does not disappoint!. They are very accommodating and calm with newcomers to their farm. Their horses look healthy and happy! I loved my horse. He was so sweet and fun.

    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 $166 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 84 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 905 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 317 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, Silfra Snorkeling Between Continents Photos Included- Self Drive, Small-Group Golden Circle, Blue Lagoon with Ticket & Kerid Crater. 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.
