Very friendly and accommodating staff for our group of six. Had a good time. The only negative was in the description of the tour. It said horseback riding in the mountains of northern Iceland. We rode up and back a dirt and gravel road with a view of the mountains. A touch misleading.

Iceland as a whole is a great country. Landscape is picturesque with cascading waterfalls, boiling springs, hot springs, geysers, glaciers as well as land glaciers where you can go into ice caves. The world has only one volcano where you’re able to be dropped down into and that is in Iceland. Being dropped down nearly 400’ into that volcano and walking around at the bottom so was one of my favorite excursions. Taking a helicopter ride over the year 21, 22, 23 volcanoes was also an amazing experience. Visiting the hot spring cave that Jon Snow & Igrette of Game of Thrones was briefly filmed in was also an excellent choice. The privacy at Hvammsvik hot springs along with a cold ocean plunge is a must stop as well. There are just too many places to list. Iceland is a place that you have to witness to appreciate the true beauty. Horses and sheep cover the landscape as you travel along the country on Ring rd. horse population is something like a ratio of 1:4 residents. And sheep, you’ll be amazed at how many times you see a group of three sheep gathered together. So many times that you’ll wonder why. Lol I would recommend no less than 10 days, more of you have the time and money. Iceland isn’t cheap but I’ll tell you it’s worth every penny. Did I mention the food? Fresh and delicious, and expensive. But we only live once on this earth so just do it. Visit Iceland and live to tell about it.

It was amazing. We have great time and still have great emotions. The host and instructors were very nice and helpful. We'll definitely come back next August. Enjoy!

We lucked out with the most beautiful day for a horseback ride. They select a horse for us, we had a short lesson for newbies in a pen, and then we were off into the meadows, forests, over the river, and under the road. We stopped on a hillside for rest and photos. Perfection! There was an extra charge for port pickup, but probably the same or less than a cab and they were on time both ways! Highly recommend!

Such a great experience. Guides were fabulous and horses were well behaved. Scenery really made the trip special.

Anna Maria is very accommodating to beginner level riders. My husband had never ridden a horse before and had an amazing experience! It was sadly windy and cold but we still had a great time with the horses. Anna Maria welcomed us into her home and we had a meal together. It was a highlight of our trip! I would highly recommend Stable Stop as an option in or close to Akureyri.
