Finnsstaðir is a family-run business located just five minutes from the town of Egilsstaðir.
Finnsstaðir offers a range of services, including riding tours, accommodation and a camp ground.
Horseback riding is at the heart of Finnsstaðir’s offerings. The farm provides well-trained Icelandic horses known for their excellent temperament and clear, well-beated tölt. The tölt is a natural gait unique to the Icelandic horse, characterized by its smooth, four-beat rhythm that allows for a comfortable, nearly bounce-free riding experience.
All riding tours are conducted in small, private groups and led by a knowledgeable local guide.
Standard tours typically last between one and two hours, with a strong focus on safety, enjoyment, and creating lasting memories for every guest. Longer tours may be arranged for experienced riders upon request, subject to availability.
Accommodation at Finnsstaðir includes a spacious main house, remote private house and a campground.
The main house features three bedrooms and comfortably accommodates up to six guests. It includes two bathrooms, a fully equipped kitchen, and all modern amenities such as a washing machine, dryer, and reliable high-speed Wi-Fi. Guests can also enjoy a private outdoor hot tub situated on a platform with scenic views of the surrounding landscape.
In addition to the main house, Finnsstaðir offers another house, a more remote guesthouse for those seeking greater privacy.
We also offer other experiences at our farm such as stable visits, paddock rides and tasting of icelandic treats and pastries.
