On my sister and my trip to Iceland (both in our 50's) we both made a list of the top things each of us wanted to do. The top of my list was ride an Icelandic horse. While it was low on my sister's list because she hasn't ridden on many horses ever, she agreed to go along. I picked Galsi because of the great reviews and what seemed like the best value...I didn't go wrong!! It was excellent. The horses were very well trained and you could tell very well cared for. Our guide Karen was amazing!! I had done a fair amount of riding before, but only in a Western saddle and my sister had only ride a handful of times in her life. Karen managed to accommodate both of our needs and expectations and was just a joy to be with. She let us through pastures, up and down some hills, and over to scenic bluffs overlooking the city and the ocean. Upon leaving we were also greeted by the owner who wanted to make sure we were satisfied and thanked us for coming. I would definitely recommend taking the ride to Blonduos to ride Icelandic horses. The drive is beautiful, away from the city of Reykjavik and the people and horses at Galsi are amazing!

Our family of four had a good time on the standard tour with Hella Horse Rental this afternoon. The operation is well run, the horses were in good shape and the guide was solid. Very convenient access (right off the Ring Road just south of Hella), super easy to find. We recommend this activity and this business!
