We selected the short tour because we are not very experienced riders but it was very adequate and we could have gone on because it was so comfortable. The staff at the stables and our guide were all very friendly and lovely and the horses also were very cute and it was def. One of our highlights!
The horses were so cute and beautiful running in the fields!! The staff were smiling and seemed to enjoy being there. They were friendly and courteous!! Highly recommend this place!!
Dear Sandra Thank you so much for your lovely review. We are happy to hear you enjoyed your tour and hope to welcome you another time. Best regards, Hotel Eldhestar
Wonderful! Highly recommend. Lovely leaders, gentle horses. Perfect for beginners. We both came away buzzing. Would definitely go again.
Great experience in all weathers, even without riding experience to participate very well, but the time was way too fast up, next time I would choose a longer tour
Lieber Gast Vielen Dank, dass du zu einer Tour zu Eldhestar gekommen bist. Wir freuen uns, dass dir die Tour gefallen hat und freuen uns, dich bald wieder zu begrüssen. Herzliche Grüsse Hotel Eldhestar
This was probably one of the happiest days for our children so far — and we as parents truly enjoyed it as well. Everything was perfectly organized, and the staff was incredibly professional and experienced. We even had time to take some beautiful photos, which was a lovely bonus. The Icelandic countryside is breathtaking, and our ride also very nice. We can wholeheartedly recommend Eldhestar and will definitely be visiting again the next time we’re in Iceland!
Dear Guest Thank you for your lovely words. We are thrilled to hear you and your family had a fantastic ride with us and we hope we can welcoming you soon again. Best regards, Hotel Eldhestar
We are more like beginners, which is why we only booked the 1-hour tour. However, it was really fun and I could have done with an extension. The riding tour guide was extremely friendly, told a lot about the surroundings during the tour and took a short photo break with us. The horses were super sweet and didn't cause any difficulties - so well suited for beginners. The weather is of course a matter of luck - we even caught sunshine. I would recommend the tour!
Liebe Natascha Vielen Dank für dein Feedback. Wir freuen uns, dass dir die Tour gefallen hat und wir freuen uns, wenn wir dich bald wieder bei uns begrüssen können, dann vielleicht auf einer längeren Tour. Herzliche Grüsse, Hotel Eldhestar
We had a great time riding the horses and learning about their history in Iceland, as well as the history of the surrounding area. Our guide Lisa was fantastic, could not recommend more!

We had a great time - the staff really made it great - very friendly, informative, and helpful. Our guide was especially thoughtful with my 8 year old son and made sure he had extra support when needed. Thank you - we loved this ride! We could feel the love for the horses at this very well run facility.
