We were only able to do the Viking Horseback Riding, as the Golden Circle portion of the excursion was canceled due to operational issues. However the Viking Horseback Riding was absolutely wonderful! The guides at Laxness Horse Farm matched riders capabilities with appropriate horses, so even those with little or no experience riding felt comfortable on the ride. The scenery around the farm is beautiful. We crossed several streams and stopped near a small lake with Whooping Swans. My horse was beautiful, gentle and friendly. I would love to ride at Laxness Horse Farm again.

An excellent tour from start to finish. The horse riding was a bucket list experience and ticked all the boxes. The golden circle tour provided us with lots of free time to visit each location. Would highly recommend this tour.

I enjoyed the tour. The weather was nice - Horseback riding was fun. Gullfoss was amazing. Geyser was great.

Der Ausritt war top, der Golden Circle ebenfalls und der Guide war auch in Ordnung. Was etwas störend war, war dass wir zwischen dem Ende des Ausrittes und der Abholung rund eine Stunde allein auf der Farm gesessen haben. Außerdem fuhr unser Bus auf dem Rückweg noch einen Umweg, um an der Secret Lagoon noch Leute einzusammeln.
