GOLDEN CIRCLE
The loop's standouts.
These are the 4 standout horse riding tours on Iceland's Golden Circle loop. Where each one goes, who runs it, what it costs, and the verdict left by travellers who took it.
Reykjavik day trip mixing Viking horse riding with the Golden Circle: Laxnes horses, Thingvellir, Geysir, and Gullfoss.
“Of course the horseback ride. The farm was professional and well managed. Horses were well broken and not “soured”. The bus trip took my sister and me to beautiful and interesting places. Would love to go on this tour again”
Full-day Golden Circle plus morning horse riding from Reykjavík, with Eldhestar/Laxnes farm, Þingvellir, Geysir, Gullfoss, lunch, and an English guide.
“Horses were amazing, guides were brill too. There was some confusion on pick up which meant where we weren’t collected so rescheduled for another day, but cannot fault the experience”
Ride Icelandic horses before a bus Golden Circle day to Thingvellir, Geysir, and Gullfoss, with Reykjavik pickup and gear included.
“Love it and I will definitely come back again 😊”
Golden Circle sights plus Icelandic horse riding from Reykjavik in a small-group day trip with Wi‑Fi, audio guidance, and a short saddle ride.
“Sooo... cold. But so beautiful. Ride horses used on Game of Thrones on a leisurely country ride. Great horses.”
