Horse Riding Tour Near Akureyri

This 1-hour horseback riding tour is set in the beautiful surrounding of Akureyri.

The stable is family owned which will let you feel Icelandic real hospitality. One of the greatest characteristics of the Icelandic horse is that it has five different gaits. In addition to the normal walk, trot, and canter/gallop there is also tölt and skeið (flying pace).

The easy-going, friendly disposition of Icelandic horses makes them ideal family horses. At the same time, diversity within the breed is enormous. You can both find the safest children’s horses and the hottest pace racehorses within this breed. Individuals, families, and groups are welcome. No riding experience is required and the best horse will be selected for you based on your riding skills. During the tour, you can enjoy wonderful views over the fjord and the mountains.

This horseback riding tour is operated by one of our reliable partners.
