I found this story from a traveler, I didn't know the place, now I know, in addition to a beautiful place, beautiful people...😊
After 3 hours walking back and forth to the volcano 🌋, I returned to the car 🚙 and noticed that I had left the headlight on, battery 🔋 successfully discharged, I asked the police for help who was there in the parking lot to see if they could give me a little charge for the car to start, I didn't have the cable and that's why they couldn't help me (as the car was automatic, I couldn't start it in stride), I called the company that rented the car and they wanted to charge 170 € to move for 15 minutes and help me , said that I did not need it and that I would solve it my way , they wished me good luck and hung up the phone in my face , I entered Google maps and looked on the map for a place that could help me , I called a travel agency . tourism and a guy said he would go but it would charge 110€, I said I was traveling 🧳 at low cost and that value would be out of the question, then the story gets interesting, I called a horse farm and a woman answered … I explained my situation and asked if she could help me by giving me a little charge to make the car start, she said but how do you know I have a cable?

Read moreArctic Horses Farm in Grindavik is an enchanting experience for any horse enthusiast or nature lover. During my visit, it was evident that the horses are not just well-cared for but are also beautiful and intelligent creatures, radiating a peaceful and friendly aura that reflects the farm's serene environment.
The family that operates the farm displays an authentic passion and deep knowledge of their equine companions, which resonates in every aspect of the farm's operation. Engaging in conversations with them added a personal touch to the experience, making it all the more memorable.
The tour itself is exceptional value for money, not just for the interaction with the horses but also for the breathtaking views of the surrounding Icelandic landscape. They are thorough in providing safety equipment and clear, accessible explanations, ensuring that even beginners feel comfortable. Accompanied by an expert guide, all anxieties are eased, allowing guests to fully immerse themselves in the joy of horseback riding.
The convenience of a transfer service for guests staying in nearby locations like the Blue Lagoon or Grindavik adds to the farm's appeal. And, while my memory fails to recall specific names, the warmth of the staff and the presence of two adorable cats left a lasting impression.
In essence, Arctic Horses Farm offers an unforgettable slice of Icelandic charm, complete with the company of friendly faces and the grace of its...
Read moreWe were there in July / August 2018. We gave a call to the owner and everything went perfect! The meeting point were the stables „Arctic Horses“.

A memorable experience absolutely not to miss! Thank you from the bottom of our hearts, dear Arctic...
