    A great experience. My...

    Heather_C, Mar 2026
    A great experience. My husband has not been on a horse before and he felt perfectly safe. It was good to have a drink and snack break. The horses were totally in control and knew what they were doing! Good fun

    Response from Host, Mar 2026

    Thank you so much for your kind words! We’re delighted to hear that you and your husband had a great experience, especially knowing it was his first time on horseback and that he felt safe throughout the tour. We’re also happy you enjoyed the snack break and the wonderful work of our horses. It was a pleasure having you with us, and we hope to welcome you again in the future! 🐴✨

    Excellent

    The overall value for this tour is definitely worth it in my humble opinion. Our family had the best time on this tour, the guides really made sure to provide an excellent experience and the scenery is just amazing and the animals are majestic. My youngest is 7 and she rode on her own and I felt we were in great hands the entire time. This was hands down our favorite tour for all in our party for our entire trip. Must try.

    Thank you so much for your kind words! We’re very happy to hear your family had such a great time and that your youngest felt safe and confident riding on her own. Our guides truly care about creating a safe and memorable experience, and we’re glad the scenery and horses made it even more special. Knowing this was your favorite tour of the whole trip means a lot to us. Thank you for the recommendation!

    Must do... also recommended for non-riders!

    Wonderful horseback riding tour with volcano views, dear and well-groomed horses and great guides. We were very lucky to be only two and enjoyed the ride very much. My partner (fear of horses and first ridden), it was so much fun that he definitely wants to ride again😉

Umso schöner ist es für uns zu wissen, dass Ihr Partner trotz anfänglicher Angst so viel Spaß hatte und nun wieder reiten möchte Wir schätzen Ihren Besuch sehr und würden uns freuen, Sie beide bei einer nächsten Reittour wieder bei uns begrüßen zu dürfen. Herzliche Grüße
