It was a wonderful experience! We had a young woman as a guide who accompanied us excellently, and we rode through nature for two hours on very lovely Icelandic horses. Individual, just the three of us! A great ride with lots of information about the surroundings, nature, and the Icelandic horses. My daughter and I would book this ride again anytime! Thank you very much! It was just great!
We absolutely loved the horseback riding experience. Our guide was amazing and it was just us and the guide enjoying the gorgeous scenery. The horses are so friendly and adorable as well. We took the bus from the capitol which was easy and a short walk from the bus stop in the serene countryside. Can't wait to return.
