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.

Must do wonderful experience!
Absolutely wonderful experience! Fantastic guides and adorable majestic horses. Having the opportunity to ride the tölt was a once in a lifetime experience that I'm so grateful to have had. Greatly enjoyed chatting with the owner on the way back to my hotel. Highly recommend this well managed family farm!

Friendly family-run horse farm with lovely horses well paired with each rider
Excellent 2-hour trek on horseback in stunning scenery in the countryside outside of Reykjavik. This is a family-run business since 1968 and even the founder who must be in his 70s is still involved in the daily business, greeting customers and finding suitable horses for each rider. Staff is friendly and there is one girl riding up front and another girl riding in the back, making sure everyone is doing OK on their horse. This is a place to go to instead of the two competing businesses closer to town. Today was my second time at the farm and groups are smaller, which means it is not as crowded when you go for a horse trek. The weather was not the best but it was still a great experience. After the ride, they serve you a cup of hot coffee or tea, which helps you warm up. They have some merchandise on sale (t-shirts, scarves, caps) so you have something to remind you of your trip. The horses are out in big fields that are fenced in, but they are roaming free in a large herd, very much according to natural horse behaviour. In the typical Icelandic way, they are pulled straight out of the field, given a quick brush, and then tacked up. They might look a bit rugged because of the weather, but are all in good shape and are all happy and eager to work.
Great experience and would recommend this to anyone. Best for any horsey person out there who is looking for a nice and smooth ride and fantastic scenery with a flowing river, mountains and fields, a waterfall and safe four-legged companions.

Definitely worth booking.
I appreciated that they asked about our experience levels and comfortability with horses.
Everyone was so kind and welcoming. Our guides were great about giving us opportunities to go faster, and I noticed that they were great at ensuring less experienced riders were supported.
The views were stunning! You won’t regret booking with them.

Unforgettable Horseback Adventure
This was an absolutely wonderful experience start to finish! We opted for transportation from/return to the city, and pick up was less than a block from our hotel and right on time in a clearly marked van.
We arrived at the stables and were greeted cheerfully by the staff. They took care to match up guests with horses based on experience and comfort level, and then tacked up the horses once we were paired for our ride. The ride and views were beautiful. (I forgot to start /stop watch at beginning and end but my estimate was about 5 miles that we rode.)
It ended up being what we've been told is typical Icelandic weather, sunny, then rainy, then sunny again. We had a beautiful rainbow with the mix of rain and sun.
Our guides were attentive and shared with us about Laxnes farm and their horses, and other Iceland tidbits. The horses knew the routine and were so sweet. They seem well taken care of, and we got to reward them with soft, delicious looking fresh bread after the ride!
The staff sat with us afterward and we chatted for a while, which felt nice that they weren't rushing us to leave right after our ride.
I would definitely book this again if I return, and highly recommend this experience to others!

The Hunt for Northern Lights
Daniel was a great guide and very knowledgeable about hunting for Northern Lights. We were lucky and found one spot to see the lights. They are certainly more prevalent starting in late September.

Nice trip, but not super exciting surroundings
Nice tour for beginners, chose two hours which might have been a little short, while it wasn't super exciting if we were to continue at the same pace and on the same route.. Nice nature but nothing special. The guides said nothing along the way, went in fits and starts without information along the way.. They could have told us before we left with the horses what we would see and what we could expect to see of nature (little exciting and varied). But very nice people who picked us up in the city center, clearly all the horses are doing well! Everyone from children to the elderly who were on the trip. A great experience for someone who hasn't ridden in 20 years...
