Solhestar

Reviewed By PaklincL - Mexico City, Mexico

My friends and I had a great experience during the one hour Icelandic horseback riding tour. We went around the mountains and saw some beautiful views. The horses were lovely and a joy to ride with. Our guide Amanda was very friendly and informative. She was able to teach us how to control the horses to ensure a smooth ride during the entire experience. The prices were average and well worth it. We didn’t book in advance so luckily they were able to accommodate my group of 5. I would definitely recommend this horseback riding experience in Iceland. You won’t get to see these beautiful horses anywhere else.

Lyngfell Stables

Reviewed By LS5000 - Cologne, Germany

I had a wonderful experience riding along the spectacular coast, the beach and up a mountain in the most beautiful part of the island. Lyngfell Stables is a family-owned small horse rental and I as well as another rider was guided by Asa. We were both not beginners but it certainly is also suitable for beginners. The horses were great with a lot of toelt and definetely well kept and happy horses. A very special experience. Unfortunately it was our last day on the Island, otherwise I would have come again. Highly recommended.

Our family of four had a good time on the standard tour with Hella Horse Rental this afternoon. The operation is well run, the horses were in good shape and the guide was solid. Very convenient access (right off the Ring Road just south of Hella), super easy to find. We recommend this activity and this business!
