Small groups only for real horse riding experience
Ride and dinneron the farm
Riding has long been how people moved between places and each other in Iceland. This experience follows that tradition: beginning with a calm ride across the land and continuing at the table with a shared meal on the farm.
The pace is unhurried, the horses carefully chosen, and time is taken to learn before riding. It is our most popular way to experience the rhythm of Mr Iceland.
"More than just a ride... the whole evening was the highlight of our trip"
Experience an intimate Icelandic storytelling evening at Mr Iceland – Efri-Úlfsstaðir, the historic home of Njál’s Saga.
Every night at 8 PM, guests are welcomed into the story barn to meet the Icelandic horses, enjoy a traditional Icelandic food tasting, and sit together at the long table as the evening unfolds.
In candlelight, local storyteller Valdimar Flygenring shares tales from the sagas, along with stories of Icelandic traditions, elves, and trolls. It is not a performance, but a gathering: a quiet, personal way to step deeper into Iceland.
This ride follows the open black sands of South Iceland, where land meets ocean and the pace is set by wind and space. It is a demanding ride, suited only for confident, experienced riders who are comfortable riding independently in open terrain.
The landscape is vast and uncompromising. Horses move steadily across the sand, dogs run freely alongside, and the coast stretches wide in every direction. There is no performance here: only movement, balance, and trust between horse and rider.
This experience is offered to those who are ready for it.
An Unforgettable Viking Farm Stayin the Heart of Iceland
BY
LUXURY HOTEL AND RESORT MAGAZINE
At Mr Iceland Farm, horseback riding is just the beginning of an unforgettable journey. Here, we focus on building both spiritual and physical connections with our majestic Icelandic horses, creating a deeply enriching experience that goes beyond the saddle.
To complement this unique philosophy, we’ve designed our exclusive “Sleeping with the Horses” cabins. These cozy accommodations are nestled right in the heart of the horse pastures, offering an unparalleled connection to nature.
Wake up to breathtaking views of grazing horses, majestic glaciers, and awe-inspiring volcanoes. The tranquil setting is perfect for those seeking a serene retreat while immersing themselves in the beauty and culture of Iceland.
Discover a truly holistic Icelandic adventure – where the bond with nature and horses takes center stage.
Private rides offer time and space to ride at your own pace. Each ride is adapted to your experience level, whether you are new to riding or confident in the saddle.
Horses are carefully matched, and time is taken before riding to understand how they move and communicate. The ride follows the surrounding land at a steady, unhurried pace, allowing attention to remain on the horse, the terrain, and the moment.
This is a focused way to experience the farm and the Icelandic horse: without rush or distraction.
The foundation upon which we design all of our tours. But we also believe that the power of the Icelandic Sagas multiplies when paired with horse riding, natural beauty, and camaraderie that nourish the heart, body, and soul. That’s why each of our luxury horse riding experiences combines mindfulness, history, great food… and so much more.

What they say about us
Words from ourdear guests
We are proud of the fact that our guests have voted us for being the best experience of all experiences in Iceland.
Feel free to look at our reviews.
The reviews aren’t lying.
Mr Iceland really was the highlight of our trip too.
I’m a photographer so the landscape of the farm, the horses, and the northern lights were a delight to photograph!
My partner and I booked in March; the horse ride + dinner and a one-night stay in one of the luxury cabins. We had so much fun that we later said yes to join the story night as well.
We got super lucky, as the sky granted us the best auroras we’ve ever seen, right when the story night ended. We watched them dance, howling at the sky, with the new friends we made that night.
- Horse ride + Dinner with Hordur -
This man knows every single one of his horses very well. We were paired with such lovely horses that were matching our distinct personalities. Whether you’re a beginner like me or a more experienced rider like my partner, be self-assured that Hordur will show you everything you need to know. You will have time to practice before going on the actual ride. The ride itself was such an awesome adventure! But I think what struck us the most was his teaching about the horses. How to ride them, how to feel them and how they feel you.
Besides caring for his horses, this man is also an amazing host!
The tasty organic fresh food from the farm, the wine and the conversations with him. We had so much to learn and so much to share. We had so much fun.
- One-night stay -
Ultra comfortable and convenient. Although it was hard to go to sleep with such amazing northern lights straight out of our windows, we slept incredibly well. (There’s blinds for every window; we just couldn’t miss the show.) We woke up to horsies staring right at us.
- Story Night -
We had fun trying the traditional Icelandic food. We also enjoyed the historical facts, the history of the farm itself and the new friends (another couple) we made that night. We did wish for more Icelandic tales tho.
This is something we will remember forever.
Thank you for creating such an intimate experience for each of your guests. We’re extremely grateful.

Hodur and his staff are authentic, warm, kind and patient. His horse farm is majestical. Highlight of our trip!! Our daughters (experienced riders) loved their beach ride and my husband and I had a blast on our riding adventure. The horses are the sweetest and we loved visiting them in the evenings and mornings. The cabins are spectacular. The bedding super comfy, and the views unbelievable. Highly recommend!!

Highlight of our Iceland trip! We stayed overnight and did the horseriding and dinner. It was an absolute highlight of our Iceland Ring Road trip! The farm is absolutely stunning and the cabins are lovely, kitted out with all you could need.
I love horses, but hadn’t ridden for about 20 years. The horses are incredibly friendly and well trained. I really appreciated Mr Iceland’s approach to riding, he encourages you to connect with your horse through grooming, a quick intro ride in the arena and then you head out on a stunning trail ride across his farm. Tolting on an Icelandic horse is something I will never forget!
Then you have a beautiful dinner in a cozy room off the stables.
Mr Iceland is a must do for anyone who wants to get up close to the amazing icelandic horses!

Mr. Iceland A small group experience with the Icelandic horses of Mr Iceland. He will first teach you how to be comfortable with the horses, and how to ride before setting out for a ride on his farm. After the ride you will share dinner with him at the farm. He served wine, salad, potatoes and leg of lamb (from his own sheep farm). An unforgettable day!

Must do Iceland Experience We have been to Iceland twice and Mr. Icelands farm, housing and horseback riding are all excellent. Definitely one of the best experiences we had in Iceland. Hordur (Mr.Iceland) and his team are great. They provide extensive instruction to assure a safe and enjoyable riding experience. The dinner Hordur cooked after the ride was excellent and we saw the Northern Lights from right outside the cabin in which we stayed. Chapeau Hordur and team, two thumbs up, we highly recommend this experience.

We loved Hordur’s horse farm - everyone was super nice and the horse riding lesson for our daughter was perfect. The cabin itself is very comfortable with views of the paddock. Wish we stayed longer!

We had a great stay at Hordurs place. The cabin was comfortable, cozy, and had fantastic views.Our 4 year old enjoyed the morning horse experience, introducing her to horses, brushing, feeding and a small ride. Elina was fantastic, gently guiding and teaching her. We were also able to visit the larger horse herd and the new foals.Overall fantastic experience, would recommend staying a couple days.
