DO NOT TAKE THIS TOUR!!!

This is the RUDEST and WORST tour I have ever been a part of on Viator. In fact, I was not a part of it becayse they insisted we were 20 seconds late, when we were not. The staff here is HORRENDOUS and do not care about their customers. STAY AWAY AT ALL COSTS!

We are sorry to hear that you were disappointed in the service we offered. Arrival time for your tour was 10:15 and departure 10:30, you called us to say you would arrive at 10:40, which is too late. We could not make other customers wait for your group, as they were on time and on horses ready to go at 10:30. This is quite clear on our website and booking information. We hope you enjoyed the rest of your stay in Iceland.

I have 20+ years ride English and Western, this is my 1st time riding an Icelandic Horse. The Trainer made the ride for me and the two in the group never being on a horse enjoyable. I heard one of them say, they would ride again😁. My horse and I got along very well. He is very smooth! Someone told me, he never spilled his beer "because of his Icelandic Horse"

A different way to experience the black sand beach.

Lovely walk on the beach, with some Icelandic gait experience. Perhaps more suited to beginners but the view remains impressive. Both guides were helpful, professional and friendly.

My sister and I had a great experience! While there are many horse riding activities in Iceland we were really excited to participate in this one on the Black Sand Beach. The guides were fantastic at providing an overview of riding (we hadn't ridden in years) and took some time to get to know us. We loved the experience and its on of our best memories from Iceland!

No one but me in my family wanted to do this…but after the ride, they were all big smiles and loving on their Icelandic steeds. Definitely good for beginners and a fun, friendly (furry) activity in Vik. Highly recommend!

Unique Experience

The horse ride was what I expected; it was a follow the leader type of ride. Easy for beginners and intermediate riders. Getting on and off the horse was another thing. I would recommend using a step for those who have a harder time hoisting themselves up. Overall, it was a unique experience.
