Small Group Ride To The Hotspring Reykjadalur

We had a fantastic ride with our guide Laura. She was extremely friendly & courteous and even packed a nice snack lunch for us - she has loved and cared for horses her whole life. Tow tour options are available. One exploring the surrounding valley and a more experienced once that goes deeper & much higher into the valley and allows you bathe in the natural hot springs. We really enjoyed our ride wand would absolutely do this again and thoroughly recommend this company.

We had an amazing time on this horseback riding tour. Klara was an absolutely fantastic guide. She really made the trip. She clearly cared about our experience and paid close attention if we needed assistance throughout the tour. The horses are very well taken care of and not over ridden which was very important to us. The tour of the area proved to have beautiful views and the hot spring was awesome. I highly recommend this company.

So I am actually a horse trainer. I train jumper horses at home and my husband (who also rides) and I would never usually opt to do a horse activity on vacation, but we ran out of things to do and decided to come to Sólhestar while staying in the area. We are so glad we did! It was fun, it occupied a good chunk of time and the sweet Finnish gal who was our guide (i wish I remembered her name) was so lovely to chat with. The horses are very well taken care of - feet trimmed and well fed. I had never had the pleasure of riding an Icelandic horse before and their gaits are lovely. The tolt is very comfortable! Different from other gaited breeds. The valley is absolutely nothing special, it looks just like where we live in Central Oregon, but the gals that work here are fantastic and it was great fun to experience their horses. Horses are very well trained and I would confidently throw a beginner/someone who’d never ridden before on one.
