Our tour guide was Barbora and she was great! We lucked out and got a private tour. We were able to have coffee when we arrived and go into the stable before we had to watch the safety video. We got to personally know our guide which was great! When we arrived back at the barn we were able to hangout with the horses in the stable before we left. Would definitly recommend!

I loved the experience I had riding with Ishestar. The horses were well trained and that helped boost confidence. The guides/trainers were so helpful and attentive, no matter what the issue was. Their advice was easy to understand and process. The trail and scenery felt authentic . I am ready to go again and bump up to the next speed level. I just didn't want to do that the first time out. I am an experienced rider and I was riding with beginner level family members. We all enjoyed the coffees and water and gift shop after the ride.

June 19th 2024 We recommend Islenski Horseback riding over Ishetar.
Ishtar will not refund tours for beginning riders when the W EATHER is UNSAFE.
It is raining/windy/unsafe to ride Wednesday June 19th from 10am-12noon. Ishetar had no other rides available later in the day and we couldn’t reschedule because our flight home leaves in the am June 20th.

Very nice staff and nice, kind horses. The tour was prefect because it was divided after a while so that some could just walk and others could tölt and go faster.

I did the Viking tour and fortunately I was the only one that day and I got a private tour! The staff was very welcoming and my guide, Elisa, made the tour very fun and informative about Icelandic horses and the Iceland as a whole. I would 100% recommend booking any tour with Ishestar

Everything in the smallest detail exceeded my expectations.
First of all, from the very beginning you can feel that the horses are loved and cared for in this stable.
The staff - both reception and guides - are very friendly, calm but also professional.
It was my first time and I was taught the basics well and felt safe on horseback with the guides.
The trail is amazing, you go through lava fields and there are mountains all around.
It was great and after this experience I am even thinking of starting a new hobby!

This entire experience was incredible! My 8yr old daughter and myself went. We had assumed she wouldn't be able to ride alone, so she was quite nervous when she was brought her own horse to ride. The staff however was so positive and encouraging. They reassured her, reminded her how to hold the reins. During the ride our guide ended up having her next to her and they talked the whole way! At the end she let my daughter ride in all by herself, and now my daughter wants to go again!
Our other guide was fantastic about reminding us about riding tips (pull the reins to the right, stay to the right of the trail, lean back going downhill), telling us about the lava field, she also used our phones to take photos of us on the horses!

We booked a 1.5 hour lava field tour with Ishestar after seeing their flyer at one of the bus stops (and verifying them using Tripadvisor reviews!)
What an amazing experience!
We paid for pickups included, which were timely and efficient and when we got there, free coffee, tea and hot chocolate was available, a seating area and a small shop.
We were shown a safety video, which had clear instructions and acted as a great reminder as I’ve not ridden a horse for several years. We were then kitted out in warm all in one suits and hats and dependent on our experience, we were then led to a horse. I can’t remember the name of my horse, but she was described as being a ‘sweet girl’ and she most certainly was.
Everything about this experience was credible and competent, with clear care towards the horses and the people riding them to ensure everyone’s safety. We had three staff with our group, which split into two as we got going - the walking group, supported by two staff and the experienced group, supported by one staff.
The horses were also given a rest break an hour into the experience and we were also able to get some photos at this time.
When we got back to the stable, there was just the right amount of time to say goodbye to our horses, grab a drink and a souvenir before our lift back into Reykjavík.
This experience is one that will stay with me for the rest of my life, I’m so happy and grateful for everyone at Ishestar and especially the horses x

As occasional riders we were all swiftly reassured from the outset that the ride would be suitable for us as a family and the venue we left from was very nice with coffee and snacks available.
After a short video about the trip we were offered (and gratefully accepted) very warm suits to go over our cloths against the cold. Once wrapped up we were introduced to our horses for the day based I’m sure on our size and experience and I was very happy with the wonderful Pjakkur who was the bestest of boys.
The ride itself was very pleasant and the view as you would expect superb. The guides Barbora, Elisa and Janina were all very attentive and chatty as we rode with little bits of knowledge about Iceland and the horses given as we rode and especially when we stoped to give the horses a break.
Would highly recommend this trip to anyone no matter your previous experience with horses.
