Kast Guesthouse
We opened our guesthouse in June 2011. We started with 16 rooms in our beautiful bequeathed family land surrounded by the ocean, mountains and of course with our horses, all the family being accomplished and passionate riders. In 2014, we inaugurated a new modern building with 11 beautiful rooms, increasing our capacity to 27 rooms in total. Kast Guesthouse is a family owner and run, with the help (only in high season) of very experienced individuals from all over the world who fell in love with iceland and what it has to offer, and are willing to give you their best advice and recommendations on what to do and see in their backyard.
Hestaland
One thing that makes us unique is that we take the time to give each rider a prep lesson in our large indoor arena before heading out on the trail for a scenic ride. This is to ensure that you're comfortable on your horse and prepared for your ride. For those who seek a private experience, we offer private tours that ensure you will be alone with your group and one or two guides.  Contact: louisa@hestaland.net / +354 841 7854
