Reviewed By Grelli_J - Reykjavik, Iceland
We took a 2 hours tour today at Polarhestar and absolutely loved it! We were a group of four on very different riding levels, and Karla, our tour guide, managed to find the perfect horse for each of us. She was absolutely lovely and made the whole tour a great experience for everyone. Well trained horses and good coffee and cake after the trip where the cherry on the cake. Thank you again, Karla, Stebbi and Polarhestar - we’ll be back!

One of Iceland’s largest falls, Godafoss has an important role in the country’s history... the trails and parking areas have been newly constructed, and access is easy (right off the Ring Road east of Akureyri) which makes it very popular with visitors. There’s a convenience store/gas station plus restaurant nearby too. Enjoy!
