Our family comprising of two children and two adults had a wonderful ride in the countryside! Each person was matched with a horse for their ability and our guide Emma did an amazing job explaining things and making sure everyone had a great time. We got to ride right next to the mountains and it was beautiful!

Our guide Emily was great! She explained about the ride, and was a great leader. Some in our ground never ridden a horse and she was very kind.

Fantastic time with our five kids. Knowledgeable and kind staff. One of our children didn’t like going fast and we were accommodated with a private tour while the others tried tolting… Such a fun and memorable experience! The views were fabulous. The horses were well loved and sweet. Highly recommend!

We booked a one-hour tour through The Greenhouse Hotel. This 2-hr choice is the closest I can find to review, and I definitely want to leave a review. We had a group of 6 and a mix of novice and more experienced riders and we all had a great time. The weather was miserable (cold, heavy wind, driving rain) but the guide provided rain gear to wear over our existing rain gear, and there was coffee, tea, and cocoa available to warm up after. Our guide was excellent. She was knowledgeable, friendly, and patient with the novices. In spite of the weather, this experience was a highlight of our trip.

Very nice location, of course, and the horses were so mild. Our guide was a young woman from Germany and she was so sweet. Great for first time riders and other lightly experienced riders. It was a horse walking pace for 98% of the time.
The course taken was very simple and slow. Without exact figures, it was essentially 2 miles next to the road, then a right into the field, and 2 miles back along the base of the mountain. We quickened the walking pace to a gallop 4 times.
Here's the reason for 1 star removed, walking on the shoulder of the road was not ideal when in such a beautiful place. New paths should be considered to enjoy the countryside for the entire time.
Still, very nice experience with beautiful, well taken care of horses. They were clean and healthy, very well trained and responsive with simply guidance.

Such an amazing experience! Our two guides were so lovely, I felt safe the whole time, my horse Benzo was always making me look so capable even though I know nothing about riding. There are stretches where we get to experience the tolt which is what I was really looking forward to! They provided waterproof clothing and it was one of my favorite experiences in Iceland! Everything was so beautiful in the rain. They also recommended this nearby restaurant with a turf roof and that was great too!

We had such a great morning! We took the 2 hour ride and our family of 4 had our own guide. She a was very kind and knowledgeable young lady from the Netherlands. The horses were lovely and the scenery was beautiful. The 3 young ladies offered us coffee/tea after the ride and gave us recommendations for a great spot for lunch. Highly recommend!

We had a very pleasant ride with a young German guide who knew her stuff on mild-mannered, well-kept Icelandic horses. The route was in the shadow of some magnificent hills and escarpments but unfortunately emerged onto some major road works following which we rode home along the road. When we returned to our hotel I realised I had left my sunglasses in the Sólhestar car but, when I called and asked the owner to take look for them, he said it wasn't his responsibility. In two subsequent calls, he claimed to have looked for them but not found them. Two days later, we were driving near the stables and made a detour. On checking the Sólhestar car, my sunglasses were, as expected, on the floor where I had dropped them. A less helpful and more unfriendly individual would be hard to find. Avoid.
