Private Tour
Experience the Icelandic Horse at your own pace. The private tour is a variation of our Laxnes Special tour and has daily departures in the morning and afternoon allowing you to set the pace and tour time of up to two hours to your level of riding ability or schedule.
The private tour is not only for advanced riders wanting to go faster. Your family can enjoy a relaxing tour at a slower pace with the age limit being lower at 6 years old children being able to join.

FAQ’s
Private Tour
The private tour has it´s own tour guide attached to it and is therefore considerably more expensive than our Laxnes Special option.
Booking a private tour requires the minimum number of passengers of two to reserve and a maximum of 10 in your group.
If you want to ride alone with a guide you´re welcome to but the minimum booking charge will apply.
Please note that our pickup service is currently not available for the private tours.
No, it’s optional but every now and then we have trouble finding our clients during pickup and a quick text message is often better than e-mailing as you’ll typically see it sooner. The driver has limited time to wait so it can make a difference.
Please note that we will only call you in rare cases during pickup when the driver is unable to send a text or email and knows you’re in the area. We do our very best to find our clients and the easiest way to solve booking errors is fast communication.
Yes, Our site has a built in discount which you´ll see at the last stage of checkout before you pay!
Please note that this discount does not apply to the Must See tours at the bottom of our page.

The age limit on our Laxnes special tour is 7 years, although exceptions can be made if the child has riding experience. Please email us before making a reservation if this is the case.
