We offer scenic riding tours on the beautiful black sand beaches of Vík, South Iceland.
Our Black Beach Riding Tour is an easy-going one hour ride perfectly suited for beginners and people who don’t go horse riding often, but we welcome riders of all abilities. Our horses are friendly and sure-footed, perfect to enjoy the wild Icelandic terrain. In the summer there is a chance to spot puffins flying above us, and in winter the ever-changing weather highlights the rugged beauty of the landscape.
The tours are mostly at walking speed, but for those who are capable there is the chance to try some tölt, the special gait of the Icelandic horse.
Please note we have a weight limit of 100kg / 220lb, and riders must be aged 10+. We ask you to arrive at the stable 15 minutes before departure.

Never rode a horse before so this was a perfect introduction for me, especially since Icelandic horses are smaller in stature! If you are more experience they do offer a chance to go faster and pick up the pace; as you take in the beautiful surroundings. Very clear and simple instructions with welcoming and knowledgeable guides. Be sure to take a picture of the paper that describes your horse! Ps. We also rode in t shirts lol.

Just like the pictures, a really nice tour. You may need to keep in mind being flexible with the weather :(horses can slip on the rocks) so they may rebook you depending on that. We loved the tour and it was one of my favorite things we did in Iceland. We felt safe and had plenty of guides helping during the tour.

Beautiful location, helpful staff. Good for beginners, but also possible to try tölt. Extra plus for finnish speaking girl who helped my mother.

This was a great time! The horses were calm and gentle, and the tour guides gave clear instructions. Without our having to say anything, they paid special attention to our son who has high-functioning autism, making sure he was comfortable. Beautiful scenery, too. We loved this tour!
