Erum orðnir goðir vinir núna and fékk að fara á tölt:) was rosalega hrifin af einum horse þarna and náðum well together. - Maggi took oss reiðtúr and í best verðinu rosalega was this gaman hos oss mikið fjör. Maggi answer grínisti and passaði að allir væri öruggir og klárir með allt saman. Excellent hringur sem við tókum. Alveg rosalega flottir hestar and goðir. I am þó aðeins vanur hestum en mikið gott að sitja á þeim.

Healing for the soul 😇💟 - This was an amazing experience, I was a little bit afraid but maggi the owner was so calm and took care of me, he was a good teacher and made sure i knew how to control the horse and he makes sure everyone is safe and take great precaution for safety. We went off road and had a good laugh with Maggi. This is the real expierence i really recomend 🥰

Mjög góður reiðtúr and mikil náttúra, forum í móan and sólin skein. Rosalega þæginlegir hestar mikið tölt - Forum í mjög góðan reiðtúr and gekk mjög mjög well all together, góðir hestar and gott veður. Maggi always einhvað að grínast and mikið hlegið and weak fjör. Kaffi eftir reiðtúrinn and kósý heit 😄 Maggi passar alltaf að það séu allir saman og öllum líði vel 😄

Unreal - The most amazing and friendly tour to do in Iceland, the absolute highlight of our trip. Both instructors were so kind and welcoming, allowing my experienced sister to ride and guiding me along for a short time. The man, Maggi, and the woman Sigrún were extremely helpful and very nice. After the tour we sat with them for coffee and a conversation. Would recommend anyone wanting a true Icelandic experience to go on this trip. Bring cash, it is preferred, and by the end you'll want to give them it over card.

The best! - The man who took me on my private quiet ride over pastures and moors was the kindest, most gentle man to both me the sweet icelandic ponies. Itviscevident he loves the ponies and they love him. I had tried to book rides in so many places. But being just one person it was impossible until I came across Alhestar. And I believe I was blessed I did not have to be one of many but had personalised attention and a tailor made package designed with my wishes in mind, at a cost comparable if not less than some of the other places I had enquired. As a mature woman who has ridden all my life, I wanted a no fuss gentle communion with a beautiful horse and that was precisely what I got. Not only with a horse but with that horse's human. Not getting into other riding establishments turned out to be a blessing. This was my last experience in Iceland. Literally the best was saved 'til last. Thank you so much!

Best Horse Riding "Lessons" I ever had! - I never had better "riding lessons" like this! I made all 3 tours and I loved it. Being for hours on a horse will teach you better riding then every hour in a stable. Especially the different kinds like on the beach, dunes or lava fields. Magnus, the owner, was soo kind and his horses teached me very well. I will definitely come back - I hope this year 😊🐎❤️ Greetings, Michelle

Wonderful morning on Icelandic horses - We had an amazing morning ride with Magnus on Icelandic horses. During the ride, we saw another rider demonstrating how the Icelandic horses dance. Such an amazing experience and I highly recommend.

Great Experience - This was an amazing experience and the owner was great! He helped our large group get on the horses quickly and was really hospitable. He even welcomed in afterwards for coffee and hung out with us until we had to get back to town. Highly recommend this to everyone.

Magnus is still the best - Magnus is the kindest man - he taught us to ride horses and then welcomed us into his home for coffee! Everyone should visit this here.
