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.
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.

Reviews fromour dear 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.
Wir wollten unbedingt mit isländischen Pferden reiten währen unserer Islandferien. Es gibt viele Höfe und Möglichkeiten dazu, aber uns stellte sich nie die Frage etwas anderes anzusehen. Wir haben dies hier gesehen und gebucht.
Auch wenn es etwas teurer ist, es lohnt sich auf jeden Fall. Alles Geld fliesst in den Hof, die Tiere und den Erhalt der Natur (sie sind eine non-profit Organisation).
Hörður ist ein bemerkenswerter Man, die Zeit mit ihm, mit den Tieren und beim Abendessen waren absolut fantastisch und die Gespräche informativ, tiefgründig und motivierend.
Wir hatten auch noch die Viking Story Night gebucht. Das war ein Erlebnis, die Geschichten von Valdimar zu hören und die leckeren Snacks zu geniessen.
Einfach nur Danke an Hörður, die ganze Crew im Stall und Valdimar. Es war ein tolles Erlebnis bei euch.
Ich wünsche euch alles Gute für die Zukunft.
PS: Der Herr aus Polen, welcher die Viking Story Night einläutete, hat uns einen Tipp gegeben dass um 03:00 Uhr der Peak für die Aurora sein soll. Was soll ich sagen, er hatte recht 😉
(sorry, ich weiss seinen Namen nicht mehr)
Wir waren sehr begeistert. Es ist nicht einfach nur ausreiten. Verbindung zum Pferd aufbauen, sich mal auf sich und ,dass 🐴 konzentrieren. Und mal entspannen und tief durchatmen. Mr Iceland geht auf jede Person ein und nimmt sich Zeit bevor ausgeritten wird. Ja es ist etwas teurer aber es wird dir auch viel geboten. Ein atemberaubendes Erlebnis. Vielen lieben dank für diese unglaubliche Reise auf dem Rücken der Pferde und die Wikingergeschichten
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5 – An Unforgettable Experience in Iceland! 🇮🇸🐴❤️
If you’re visiting Iceland, Mr. Iceland Horse Riding Equestrian Center is an absolute MUST! My husband and I visited during our honeymoon, and this was truly one of the highlights of our trip!
From the moment we arrived, we felt so welcomed! He was absolutely amazing, so respectful, kind, and personable with each and every one of us. You could genuinely tell how much he loves what he does!
The horseback riding was incredible! The mountain views were absolutely BREATHTAKING, and the horses were so sweet, gentle, and well-trained. It was such a beautiful experience!
And let’s talk about the DINNER! 🤌🏼😍 We decided to stay afterward, and WOW! Everything was chef’s kiss! That mushroom gravy?! If I could have bottled it up and brought it home, I absolutely WOULD HAVE! 😂❤️
Between the stunning views, amazing hospitality, beautiful horses, and delicious food, this experience exceeded our expectations!
I would recommend Mr. Iceland to absolutely anyone visiting Iceland! Thank you for making our honeymoon even more memorable! ❤️🇮🇸
Mr Iceland is magical.... We stayed at Mr Iceland and it was fantastic. I couldn't recommend enough. the sleeping quarters were perfect. We had 2 apartments as we were traveling with our 3 children. We got to visit the horses in the fields and I booked the beach ride. It was a life changing experience. Meta ( sorry if I misspell) was our guide. She was fantastic and the entire staff was lovely. the horses are well taken care of and so fantastic. I ride at home, so this was important to me, that the horses were well cared for. we also did the Viking story hour. We learned so much about the history of Iceland that we never know. Overall, I would highly recommend staying here and booking a ride along with all of the other activities they have to offer.
Mr Iceland Mr Iceland is an excellent introduction to the marvelous Icelandic horses! Highly recommended for everyone from beginners to experienced riders. You will leave loving these beautiful animals. The dinner after the ride was the perfect way to finish our visit - delicious food and great conversations with new friends. Don’t skip this experience.
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!
Absolutely beautiful stay. The cabin was beautiful and exactly as described and shown in photos. The most peaceful and tranquil stay in gorgeous surroundings. The only negative is the link to location on the booking instructions did not take us to the place so that caused confusion when finding the place. We did find it eventually by searching for directions to Jakobs farmhouse instead. This didn't take away from what was a magical stay once we were there! Highly recommend.
