Anna and Höskuldur were our guides- and they were amazing with the kids (aged 10 and 12) and great company for our beautiful ride along the Hvita. We chose them because they keep the groups small. In fact, it was just our family with Anna and Höskuldur! Cruising along that incredible glacial blue-green river is something we and our kids will treasure for the rest of our lives. Thanks Anna and Höskuldur for such a great experience and all the best! Dave, Andrea, Aidan & Caitlin read less

The scenery was glorious and the guide picked calm horses for our beginner crew. It was an amazing experience. read less

Unlike the other riding stable we rode with in the North, Anna was willing and eager to ride with just the two of them. So they didn't have to wait for an hour for others to show up. Anna took the time to ensure that my daughter was on a horse she felt comfortable on before riding off up the river.

If you are looking for a great ride, with amazing, caring people you can't do better than this! As for pricing, this was some of the cheapest I found in Iceland.

I wish we could have done another ride, but we ran out of time and had to leave.

Definitely one of the highlights of our trip. read less

Höski and Inga Dóra were both fabulous guides and led us up the river to get a unique view of Hraunfossar waterfalls that was incredibly beautiful. The ride was very scenic and we felt very safe on the well-trained horses. We got a short lesson on the essentials in the beginning and came back very happy with our ride. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED !! I've been to quite a few rentals in Iceland and Ashestar definitely stands out. Also - Brúarás geo-center is across the road and has amazing food for hungry riders! read less
