A variety of charming rides in the north of Iceland
Where Horses meet the Elves
Riding Tours in Northern Iceland
The surroundings of our farm, located between the stony slopes of impressive mountains and the clear water of the North Atlantic, are, according to legend, the home to many elves. This fairyland with its lonely fjords, lush valleys, rushing rivers and imposing mountains is a paradise for horses and riders, too. Whether you already have some riding experience or not, this magical landscape promises unforgettable experiences on the back of one of our Icelandic horses.
Pólar Hestar has been offering riding tours in Northern Iceland since 1985. In 2025 our family business will celebrate its 40th anniversary! It all began with a small herd of just about 15 horses. By now our herd comprises around 160 horses and we offer multiple different riding tours.
Are you interested in one of our riding tours in the elfland? Then do not hesitate to stop by. We are looking forward to your visit!
