At Glacier horses you get to enjoy gorgeous views over the glaciers from horse back. The views are magnificent.

They have two tours at the farm. There’s a 75 min tour and a 2 hour tour. Both are fine for beginners.

I did the 75 min tour. It goes through the fields around the farm and is a very relaxed and easy ride for all levels of experience. You even get to ride through an Icelandic forest!

Going for a ride on an Icelandic horse is an unforgettable experience. Icelandic horses are a lot smaller than regular horses, but they are very strong and have a few extra "gaits". So beside walk, trot and gallop, most of them can also do tölt and some even pace.

The tölt is an extremely smooth gait and quite easy to ride for beginners and experienced people.

Just remember that Icelandic horses are a lot smaller than other horses, so very often there is a weight limit of 100kg / 220lbs.
