Combine an Icelandic horseback riding tour and a whale watching cruise on a day trip from Reykjavik. Suitable for all abilities, the experience starts with a 1.5-2 hour ride through moors and lava fields on the sturdy Icelandic horse. Enjoy free time for lunch at Reykjavik Old Harbour, and then board a ship to take you across Faxaflói Bay to the whale watching sites. Look for whales, dolphins and porpoises and more!

I thoroughly enjoyed riding the horses. I wish we could’ve tried out more gaits than we did. And we found a few humpbacks and spent time with them and the birds. We also saw a porpoise and some puffins.

Whale watch was not good due to fog weather and I believe they was supposed to cancell( never saw whales) they said I can reschedule for free next time but I had no availability in my schedule due other activities were scheduled

The guides on the riding experience….. amazing team effort from the all, even with the most awkwardly inexperienced rider like me…… they were great and very attentive.
Watching the sun rise on a horse; beautiful scenery and snow was a memory I’ll never forget.

Whale watching was unfortunately cancelled due to the weather but horse riding in the snow was amazing. Staff were brilliant.

This excursion was amazing! The staff at the stable was kind and patient with inexperienced riders while letting equestrians have a truly exhilarating experience. Do not miss this!

Horseback riding was very well done and an enjoyable experience. Guide even took me on a solo ride in order to ride faster than the group.
Unfortunately, we saw NO whales on the whale watching trip.

The horses were fabulous. I really enjoyed going through all 5 of the horses gaits. If it weren't for the whale watching, I would have rated 5 stars.
No whales sighted which would seem to be almost impossible since this is the largest whale colony of these whales. There were 5 large boats chasing each others tails like the kids in a Pee Wee soccer game. HUGE disappointment. I would recommend taking separating tours for the horses from the whales and take independent tours. Whales were spotted in the morning tours -- this tour had the whales in the afternoon

It was a great trip - one my wife and I wanted to take. Given the opportunity, we will certainly be back.
