This trip begins with a highlight: after a short ride on countryside tracks, we will arrive at the amazing waterfall "Reykjafoss". You will soon understand why Icelanders describe it as "the steaming falls"! Later on, you will be having fun crossing quite a few rivers on your trusted companion, the Icelandic horse. In the amazing natural paradise of the river delta Héraðsvötn you might, depending on the season, be able to watch birds hatching or pick a handful of crowberries whilst taking a short break. The terrain offers the best possibilities to fully experience the gaits of the Icelandic horse, especially the famous tölt.
Please give us some details about your previous riding experience. This helps us choose the right horses for you. You can do this on the check out page.
THIS RIDE IS NOT SUITABLE FOR BEGINNERS!

Super pleasant 1h30 Viking outing with 2 very friendly and smiling guides. Annjulie and Maud (who spoke French to help us understand better 😉). Very complete route (path, along the river, river crossing, waterfall) with practice of walking and Icelandic style. And adorable horses. There were 9 of us on 12/08. We recommend.

Sarah led us on a wonderful 3hr ride thru the glacier rivers. Saw swans and their young, sheep, and flowers. Cold and windy but a wonderful morning!!

We did not end up going on the glacier River Delta with waterfall tour because, after a half mile of writing, we were told that in order to complete the tour in the three hours allotted, we would need to “tolt” (Icelandic horse gait similar to a trot) most of the way. One of us had only been on a horse once before and the other was not relishing the idea of three hours of bouncing in the saddle. Our guide graciously returned to the barn with us, and listed another guide, and received a personalized tour with just the two of us and a lovely guide (Franka - my apologies if I misspelled it). We were able to go at our own pace, which did end up including speeds faster than a walk, as we chose. Our horses were wonderful. The scenery was spectacular. The weather could not have been any more perfect. It was a fabulous day and we very much appreciate the accommodation to our riding preferences. Well done!

There were three people in my group and we were all confident riders. The horses were simply amazing - properly forward going and keen but also safe. Probably the best horse I have ridden on a trek. Our guide told us about the local area and was very friendly. It was great to try tolt and we also had several opportunities to gallop. The scenery was just amazing. Definitely want to come back and do a multi day tour!

We did a private tour with Giulia as our guide and had a great time! She made sure our helmets fit properly, taking the time to help us try on several different ones and made sure we were comfortable with our horse. We rode to the waterfall and crossed a few rivers. We were able to practice the Tölt gait a number of times as well! The horses we rode were well behaved and treated kindly. Our guide also knew so much about Icelandic horses and horses in general. If we’re in the area again, we would definitely come back for another ride!

We asked for forward going horses as we are experienced riders and really got them. Our guide Janin was great, we were often going fast and tried different gates incl. tjölt of course. Janin has also told us a lot about all the interesting places around etc. We can higly recommend Hesta Sport for a riding tour even for experienced riders.

You can’t really get better than that !
Service is always more than perfect and friendly.
Been on 2long tours (8days) and came back once again to ride as much as possible in my 4 days there! They helped me do that and made it as easy as can be for me !
My boyfriend is a beginner and it was a blast for him as well!
They are the best don’t hesitate !
