HORSE RENTAL STÓRI-KAMBUR

Overall a HUGE disappointment and not at all worth the money!
We had booked this riding tour many weeks in advance in the believe it to be a BEACH TOUR. The title of the tour is called: DAY TRIP Löngufjörur Beach Ride. Duration 5-6 hours. ALL the pictures advertising the tour are in or alongside water. Also the description reads as if the beach is the main place where the tour takes place. Especially because they say that the beach is the longest beach in Iceland and it’s unforgettable to ride there.
In the end we rode along the beach in total for about 30-40 min.

The main critic point is that what was supposed to be a beach ride was mostly a ride along ROADS. We changed the side of the road multiple times and kept riding along it. A road where they drive 70-90kmh. Finally we left the path towards a mountain, where we climbed the side of a mountain and then descended that one again. When we left the fast road and the mountain side we rode along another slower road for maybe 20 min towards the beach.
When, at long last, we made it to the beach we already had been riding for around 3 hours. We had a fast gallop into one direction with some tölt. Then we turned around and töltet that short way we came from back. We then rode that same slow road back, to climb and descend a mountain again.
After that we turned onto a lava field which took about another hour to cross.

We eventually made it to the other beach. There the sand was very deep, so we galloped mostly, for another few minutes. Far from the water. It was very exhausting for the already tired horses to canter in the deep sand.
We then rode back to the farm.

So on the whole:
5 to 6 hours riding.
Of which 30 to 40 minutes on the beach.

The guides were very friendly so it is not their fault. Also the horses were nice and listened well.

The problem is the advertisement. I had been excited for this tour for months. My dream had been to ride along the beach and now that we have experienced the tour it’s very save to say that it’s simply NOT TRUE what they are advertising this tour to be. A better formulation would be a day ride with a SMALL DETOUR to the beach. It was, again, not at all worth the money.

Also, in my opinion, this 5 to 6 hours tour is not at all suitable for people with no riding experience.

great family run horse-riding experience. all of the staff loved to be there, and you get coffee and cocoa at the end ????

Nice horses, nice staff and wonderful view and trail. Pure nature.

Same day decision to go here so my daughters could ride horses. They said it was one of the highlights of their trip to Iceland. Guides were great and scenery was wonderful.

I had a very fun experience with the horses they had beautifully made trails and the horses were very friendly I had a great time galloping on the beach to end off the day!
