Overview

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 are committed to the welfare of our horses and reserve the right to ask riders to step on a scale. We ask you to arrive at the stable 15 minutes before departure.

Meeting points

Arrival Time: 15 minutes before departure, dressed ready for the weather of the day. If you are late, it is not possible to delay the tour for you. Meeting point: our stable at Smiðjuvegur 6 in Vík. Access is through the Orkan petrol station, opposite Hotel Kría.

End point

This activity ends back at the meeting point.

Itinerary

Our stable is the start and ending point for our horseback rides. The ride will lead us along our local black sand beaches at Vík í Mýrdal, called Víkurfjara. Minimum age 10 years, maximum weight 100kg/220lb, unfortunately no pregnant people can ride. We reserve the right to ask riders to step on a scale.

Published on Dec, 2024

Riding the horses on the beautiful beach’s my horse was very easy riding and no problems riding him.

A great ride and learning experience.

Published on Dec, 2024

A great ride and learning experience. We were contacted the morning of our tour and informed of the wild sea conditions. We had the option to reschedule or refund but we were absolutely happy to ride the horses through the dunes and little further away from the water. We had a great time and learned a lot about the breed and their history from our guides. Each horse was great and we certainly love the experience.

Nice horses

Published on Dec, 2024

Great service, nice calm horses, fun ride. Could be longer (a lot of time is spent taking photos) but still worth it
