About this tour

Our Family Tour is a gentle 30 minute ride designed for the youngest riders (6+) and their families. Our horses are friendly and sure-footed, perfect to enjoy the wild Icelandic terrain. Our guides are happy to lead children from the ground or give extra assistance to anyone feeling a bit nervous. The horses really enjoy relaxing on the beach with their riders and the ever-changing weather highlights the rugged beauty of the landscape.

Please note we have a weight limit of 100 kg / 220lb, and riders must be aged 6+. We are committed to the welfare of our horses and reserve the right to ask riders to step on a scale. We ask you to be at the stable, dressed and ready to ride, 15 minutes before your departure time.

What’s included

  • We provide helmets and riding equipment.

What to bring

  • Clothing according to weather f.ex. gloves and good sneakers ore hiking boots.

  • Our tour is an easygoing one-hour ride, but we require all participants to be physically fit enough to mount independently. We get on the horses from the ground as this is how they are trained in Iceland (not to stand with a stool/mounting block).
