Polar Hestar

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!

Aldeyjarfoss

Reviewed By Haloof - Province of Bergamo, Italy

If you have a 4wheel drive you can get directly there ,otherwise you have to walk for few kilometers or hope that someone gives you a lift. It was a cloudy day and no one was there, exept for a couple which we given a ride. A short walk to get there from the parking,a lovely view of the river before seeing the waterfall. You see it from a high point of view , but if you want you can walk down and climb a bit,beware because it could be a bit dangerous. The waterfall il very nice,you can see the falling water swell by the power of the current .
