- Emmanuelle C1 contributionAmazing !What an amazing experience we had ! Beautiful landscape and amazing staff ! They were really taking care of us and really wanted us to feel good on our horses. They payed attention to my friend who was a beginner and selected the horses depending on our level. They made us try the horse in the inner stable first and then we went outside.Visited March 2024Traveled with friendsWritten March 25, 2024
- Annemieke K1 contributionChoose for Tvistur horse riding!It was an amazing experience! The environment was fabulous and unicum! We ride through (deeply) water, along the floated river, up in the mountain, surrounded by glaciers.The guide was great and most of all he treated his Horses with lots of respect. So if you are planning to ride the icelander horse in Iceland and you prefer small groups, choose for Tvistur Horse riding!Visited July 2024Traveled with familyWritten July 14, 2024
- srickman11Ypsilanti, Michigan49 contributionsGreat Horseback Ride!Excellent horseback riding tour! Views were beautiful. Horses were wonderful and well taken care of. Owners were super nice. We got to do a couple different gaits with the horses. Really enjoyed our tour. We actually did 2 horseback riding tours while in Iceland and this one was much better than the other! Wouldn't hesitate to go on another tour with Tvistur. It is less than an hour from Akeyuri so convenient stop on the ring road. Good value and not too expensive for 2 hour tour (we actually stayed out 2.5 hrs and got to brush/groom the horses before/after the ride!) We went up into the mountains and then down by the river. I really enjoyed the river part!Visited August 2024Traveled as a coupleWritten August 23, 2024

Wonderful ride with a small group. Family owned business with great concern that you have an enjoyable time. Reasonable price. Mom and her son were our guides . I would highly reccomend this family run ranch. I am not sure but I believe they may have smaller groups than some of the other tours. We went on a 1.5 hour ride which was perfect. Horses were well cared for.

Had an amazing time here! Everyone is incredibly friendly and helpful, and riding on the horses was a great experience, especially as beginners. The trail we went on also had a really great view. I'd highly recommend

Had yesterday a amazing tour alone with the owner of the stable. Very nice man. With lots of patience. I ride at home just a normal horse and i never experienced a Icelandic horse. So first I got a lesson inside the stable. Because it was very windy and lots of rain and storm. After that I learned how to tölt we go outside and did the riverbank tour. The ground was very wet and the rain and the wind where still there. But the trip was AMAZING! We ride the horse how it was good for them so depending on what kind of solid we had we did a differed gate. I will never forget this Amzing experience! Thank you a lot! Will never forget your stories and your passion about the horses. You treat them very well! Unfortunately I forgot the name of the horses so if you read this. Could you please give me those? 😃
