Had such a beautiful time with the black sand beach team. All of the horses are beautiful and friendly. The guides are very welcoming and make sure the experience goes smoothly. Good for beginner riders who want to take it slower while still giving more experienced riders the option to tölt!

This was an awesome experience! The guides were so nice and it was my first time riding and I didn’t have any issues whatsoever! The horses are all so sweet and the views were amazing! It was truly a great experience and it was the perfect length of time! I can’t say enough good things about this tour!

Thank you for joining us and such a lovely review :) The guides and horses try their best to look after everyone no matter how much (or little) riding they have done before!

Really fun opportunity to ride an Icelandic horse. We did do some trotting on the beach and the guides stop and take photos for you. No experience is necessary as this is a nose to tail ride.

The staff is so very friendly and knowledgable. They ensure to pay attention during the ride all the time...even put me in front of the line so that the other riders, who weren't experienced, horses would follow my horses lead. The horses are very tamed and sweet and most of the tour is just a walk on the beach in a single file line until the last 5 minutes when you get to "tolt" gail. My horse Blaer (think liar and put a B in front of it) but as I am an experienced rider, the staff placed me on Blaer knowing I'd be fine.

Would have liked to be able to experience a bit more, rather than being in a single file line, especially taking into account the group that I was with (no fault of Vik Horse Adventures), but all in all it was a nice lovely relaxing ride.

Thank you ladies!

We had such a wonderful and memorable time with the black sand riding tour. The staff were incredibly kind, patient, and knowledgable. I felt safe the entire time and had fun meeting and taking pictures with the horses in the stable. An added bonus was cuddling with Pumba! The ride on the beach was the right amount of time and we were able to take photos on the beach. It was fun!
