They deserve allll of the stars! I did the lava rock ride. They are knowledgeable and kind, the horses are clearly loved and well taken care of. I am an experienced English rider and even with a mixed group of experience we got the opportunity to try the tölt multiple times. They ensured that I was able to do it which was big for me as a fellow rider. I highly recommend Sólhestar for a ride while here!

It was amazing! We have been riding as a family. Our youngest is 7 years and it was the first time for her riding a horse on her own. She enjoyed it so much!!! Thanks especially to our lovely guide Claire. She was so friendly and helpful with everything. The horses have been calm and easy to handle. A must do in Iceland!

Amazing horseback riding experience! At the start, the team of staff assessed every rider's experience level before assigning a horse to them and were very clear in their simple instructions on how to ride a horse. During the ride, they rode at the start, end, and in the middle of the line to ensure that everyone was comfortable at all times. The staff also used their horses to temporarily block street traffic so that we could cross safely and shared interesting trivia about Icelandic horses during the ride. Halfway through the ride, we made a stop so the team of staff could take photos for each of the visiting guests on their horses with the nice scenery. After two hours of walking up and down hills and trotting along the paths, we returned to the stable and got to pet the horses, take selfies with them, and have a hot drink. It was my first time ever riding a horse and I'm happy that I got to do it in Iceland and with Solhestar. Thank you for a memorable experience!
