A Heartfelt Thank You!
As we have closed yet another fantastic season, our hearts are full of gratitude. Thank you to everyone who joined us on our rides, and to those who supported us from afar. Your enthusiasm fuels our passion for sharing the wonders of Iceland on horseback.
We can’t wait for next summer and to spend time in the wilderness with our wonderful guests and horses!
Uncharted paths and endless horizons
We take pride in our service and maintain small group sizes on our multi-day trail rides to guarantee a safe and enjoyable experience for our guests. Given that our groups typically consist of 10-14 riders (depending on the tour), the availability of seats is limited. In light of this, we recommend reaching out to us at your earliest convenience to secure your spot on your dream tour next summer.
Whether you are a returning rider or new to our family, we have a tour for you. If you don’t see the tour you are looking for you can always reach out to us – we’re here to create your perfect Icelandic horseback experience.
If you book your multi-day tour seat with us before the year’s end, we will extend a complimentary invitation for you to participate in one of our Viking tours at our Riding Center in the outskirts of Reykjavik before your summer ride. This exclusive Viking tour, spanning 2 ½ to 3 hours is designed for experienced riders and is the ideal preparation for your upcoming adventure!
Get ready for an early start in May 2024, leading into a rich September finale with the traditional sheep und horse roundups. Look forward to new itineraries, including the Hekla Adventure tour, Black Beach tour, and the Landmannalaugar Adventure tour. Returning favorites include the Kirkjufell Adventure, Southern Highland Adventure, our very special Forces of Nature, and the Wasserfaellen auf der Spur tours.
In a special offering, we present an exclusive challenge tailored for returning and experienced guests, intrigued by riding to Landsmót Hestamanna 2024, the National Icelandic Horse Competition and Festival, scheduled for early July in Reykjavik. Embark on this incredible 8-day riding adventure commencing in the enchanting Snæfellsnes Peninsula in the final week of June. Traverse the smooth beaches of Löngufjörur, journey through the Borgarfjordur valley, and culminate at the historic parliamentary site, Thingvellir, before concluding your ride in Reykjavik, just in time for Landsmót’s biggest events. With limited seat availability, we encourage you to reach out for further information.
We are thrilled to announce our Black Sand Beach rides collaboration with Robbi in South Iceland, ensuring that the beloved Beach rides continue, this time on a black sand beach. The tours will be a part of our Beach & Lava tour, and also as a 2-day add-on option to other tours or a stand-alone tour.
A significant chapter ends as we bid farewell to Siggi and Ólöf, the stalwarts of our Snæfellsnes, Beach, and Löngufjörur rides. While their departure leaves a void, their legacy remains in the joyous memories they’ve created. They will of course remain invaluable members of the Ishestar team as we look to collaborate with them on another level, more to come on that later! Here’s to new adventures in 2024!
We are really excited about the new additions to our Multi-Day Tours and we hope to welcome you on one of our tours.
