Good afternoon! Thank you all for a good rest, sincere and eventful. To the cook for the delicious food, every day a variety of dishes of Belarusian cuisine, To the guys for their help and organization!Lots of emotions from horses and other animals from your zoo, they are just a miracle 😍 Pool, subs, laser tag and many other entertainment 👍I am so glad that I found you and sent mom and son to you, we will definitely come back together🌸
When choosing a place to ride horses, I was guided by the reviews left on the sites. The choice fell on the "Horse Island ".
Record by phone (available on the website). On the day of the event, we had a hitch on the way. We called to inform you that we are late. We were immediately offered a skating time an hour later (we were lucky to have seats)- I will mark this moment as a +. We found the place easily. The store suggested where to register. There are two payment methods (cash and transfer) - convenient. They showed everything at once, told me what and where. I give five stars for a justified atmosphere. We came to the horses, got what we wanted. The horses are inspected, well-fed, obedient. Contact with horses is just some kind of magic. You forget about everything and enjoy the moment. The girls work there are very good, simple and welcoming, most importantly they love animals. We were on a day off. There were enough people who wanted to ride.
This place also offers a range of services (accommodation, sauna, barbecue, such as a banquet hall (perhaps some kind of kitchen, there was a smell of food, etc.). It was not possible to look out for everything. Well, I'll say the style of the whole household for an amateur. There is no consistent theme.Style without style, a set of all sorts of elements (foam snowmen, gin, star wars heroes, a Christmas tree, a scary bride doll, a mill, etc.) Clean, the yard is well maintained, the toilets are also clean and soap and towels. But everything is different..... it's about to fall apart or "slapped in the Kulibinsky way." The place is obviously popular. A lot of vehicles were parked in the adjacent area. But all this can be omitted.
Definitely, I want to come again... to the horses.
Holidays are not for families with small children.If you are waiting for a rustic vibe with care and high-quality service, then definitely not here.Before you check in, ask to see where you will live.The zoo is certainly not for the faint of heart (animals are sincerely sorry).They don't look well-groomed and happy.When we arrived, there were Wasps almost everywhere (the child was afraid to approach the swing, trampoline, and other children's figures).Aquazone(swimming pool)it is necessary to go /go to the sanatorium Sunny Beach 1.5 km from the place.I wanted to pay for meals (lunch/dinner)apart from the package, I was refused.We did not reach horseback riding because we decided to leave (our package for a day provides for 1 hour) because we were with a child and offered to reduce it to 30 minutes.In general, what Instagram described does not correspond to reality.You just live in one of the houses in the village with your neighbors and go to different houses to entertain your leisure time.
Good day to all! I rode a horse in the farmstead "Horse Island", I really liked it-the horse is calm and manageable, and the instructor girl is generally well done: intelligently and competently conducted the briefing, accompanied, prompted, thank you, sorry, I forgot my name. I recommend you to visit
The houses have been renovated for show, even in the most run-down hotels the situation is better. In the zoo, no one looks after the animals, in the morning and in the evening they fed and released the situation, when we noticed that the ferret was extremely ill from the heat, a 17-year-old boy who should be responsible for visiting the zoo, without getting up from the couch, replied that "yes, he sleeps like that" and by lunch, and the next day We didn't see the ferret day anymore, and no one will see it anymore. If you need to find a beach or go to the pool, then first walk around the territory and look for at least someone who can answer you at least something intelligible, then get a sluggish story from him how to get there, as a result, if you want to find it yourself. The gazebo near the house, in which you kind of need to relax, make a barbecue, is full of steers, the bench is dilapidated, but everything is ready in the grill - a hill of steers and garbage, everything that would make your kebabs more fragrant. But everything was finished off by horseback riding, we have time for 10 in the morning, on a bridge made of old wooden pallets that are just thrown into the swamp, you are with a child in your arms (riding children is practiced and welcome, we clarified this issue when paying, and the age of the child did not confuse anyone), you come to a meadow filled with horse manure, there are a lot of horses, 2 women and a girl accompanying, my 3-year-old son was put on an adult saddle, and they just told me to hold on tight, to my question if this was normal, they said that an escort would be with him. The horses were either from the heat or from insects, they often kicked, which also did not bother anyone. After 20 meters of walking, my 3-year-old son fell off an adult horse! The attendant just spread her hands and babbled something about the mare bucking. The child fell from a height of 1.5 meters! Everything went well, he was not injured, but he hit himself very hard and was scared. Again, with him in my arms, I had to run through this swamp on pallets, and when we asked the administrator about the nearest doctor, she started mumbling about the fact that today is a day off, let's wait for the owner. As a result, I immediately called an ambulance, because the office of this institution is located in a store where there is booze, and there is not even the most run-down first-aid kit. Bottom line: at the hospital, after X-rays and tests, we were told that everything was fine, the child was healthy, and that was the only thing that stopped me from applying to the police, which the doctor suggested I write. If you want to have a rest, sleep it off and have another rest - this place is your option, if you want to relax, find another place.
The manor "Horse Island" is an amazing place for outdoor recreation. Horseback riding through the picturesque places of the Dnieper River, birch groves, meadows, pine forests. The horses are the smartest, calm, well-groomed. Instructor Nina is a professional in her field: polite, attentive, explains in detail how to behave with horses throughout the route. It is clear that a person loves his job, loves animals and horses understand it half a word, half a glance.
Petting zoo is a separate topic. There are so many exotic animals: camel, ostriches, yak, porcupines, raccoons, peacocks and many, many others.
A great place to relax with the whole family. The children will be delighted!
I recommend it!
The horses are well trained, calm, clean. A very good instructor. The places are beautiful. But the surrounding atmosphere spoils the impression and leaves aesthetic discomfort. There are piles of garbage all around.
A great place for equestrian recreation. We went for a ride. Horses are tame, not aggressive. Well-groomed and very smart. A large area for walking, you can choose a route. Before the trip, we conducted a detailed briefing (a separate HUGE THANK YOU) so that even a beginner could have a good time. You can bring treats for the horses. Or buy at a nearby store.
A unique place that you will definitely be delighted with.
On the first day we rode horses. Everything seems to be as usual, but I am a bad rider, so I asked for the most calm horse in advance, my request was fulfilled. The short, calm horse Strelka is still in my heart (I recommend those with children!).
The next day, we arrived at the petting zoo. Even in the Berezinsky reserve there are not so many animals, and I am generally silent about the contact one. I've never seen anything like it anywhere. To have a contact camel?! Not in hot countries?! You saw it, I didn't. And what cute lambs, llamas, noseheads, raccoons, peacocks and many others that can not even be listed. And for that kind of money! The price tag is lower than any other zoo. I recommend it and we will definitely come back in the summer. Thank you for the sea of emotions! You are the best!
You need to come here as a group .The horses are already old, and if you just come to trot with a couple, you will not be able to, because not all horses want to ride already, the island is certainly dilapidated, I would like its holder to have the financial ability to maintain and refine it, God grant him health and all the staff (nina has a separate respect)
An amazing place, for the first time I rode horses and even in nature, and not in a paddock.
Fed with carrots) the horses are kind, they give themselves both a pat and a ride on themselves)
Routes on dusty roads, after skiing, there is sand in the eyes and in the mouth. When asked to change the route, they said that all routes go through the sand. The dust is standing in a column. The horses are good, but the routes are not comfortable and boring. The money receiver, the man is not friendly. An unpleasant impression.
It's not a 5-star hotel, but that's not what we're going for. The nature is gorgeous and rustic. The food is delicious, but it does not differ in variety, but it is plentiful. The banquet hall is excellent, large, beautifully decorated, and even the rustic stove is heated (this is when it's cool). Some inconvenience is caused by the inability to pay with a Mir card for Russians.
Nice place, polite staff. An interesting horse ride and a rather impressive zoo. At the end, they gave me tea. Recommend

A beautiful place next to the river. You can ride horses with the whole family, it's cool. For horseback riding, there are accompanying girls, they are sociable and friendly. We got to the price of a room for 4x60p a day, it's cheap, but they say the prices have changed. There is a gazebo and a barbecue. The rooms are located in a wooden house divided into two halves, the courtyard is shared. The zoo is small, but interesting because animals can be fed and touched, next to housing and it's cool. Of the disadvantages, as for me, there is little advertising. It seems that besides horses and the zoo there are some other entertainment, but no one says anything, and some do not work or work poorly (bicycles and ATVs). There is a very picturesque alley in the thickets of acacia towards the river, but the minus is that it is not well maintained and garbage is lying around. Although the housing is cheap and looks nothing and comfortable, but the frame of the sofa was broken, children can be put down, and adults are scared, and at night one half of the other drove away because of the design feature. The light switch in the kitchen was broken. The shower stall doors are also broken. It seems there is a TV, but the remote control does not work. There is free Wi-Fi, but the signal is very weak) These are all small things, considering the price. The smell of dampness is most annoying in the house, although the windows are open and there is no fungus anywhere, but the air is somehow stale. As for the horses, we must understand that although the animals are calm, and instruction is being conducted, but it seems to me that it was possible to offer a helmet, at least for children, because animals are not predictable. There's a small dog running around the yard, I advise you not to bait it, otherwise this artist will arrange concerts for you at night) In general, we were there for the first time and we liked it!
A large family rested there: parents and four children. We rode horses, everything is great! The instructor is a wonderful woman. Then we went to barbecue, there was a zoo nearby where you could feed animals for free: deer, bison, camel, cows, donkeys and many other animals! The children were impressed by ostriches)
The attentive staff provided a quick and accessible briefing. We stopped halfway along the walk, took a picture of us, it was very nice. The horses were clean, neat, not thin, obedient, trotted on command. I recommend it to everyone. After the walk, you can feed the horses, so do not forget to take sweet dried fruits, apples, carrots, zucchini with you)

On the second day we called to sign up for a horse ride, on the first day we replied that we were busy now, we will call back later, since people are settling in now, Okay. No one called back during the day. Okay. We're calling on the trail. Day, again we say that we called yesterday, we would like a horse ride, I explain on what day, we get nothing in response, they just hang up! I do not advise it, they discouraged the desire to come here at all.
I agreed to ride my daughter and wife on horseback, at 14.00. We arrived at 13.30. As a result: the wife started on a horse (due to "some local disorganization") at 14.25, and the daughter at 14.35. They went for a ride until 15.00, i.e. 1 hour and half an hour were not allowed, respectively. After that, my daughter had to visit the petting zoo, where we also did not immediately get there, since there was no one to really explain where and in which direction to move. They charged me 20 rubles just to be on the territory with my wife and daughter. Only the 9-year-old daughter and her wife had positive feelings from riding a horse, but her negative feelings remained extremely from the poor organization of the process
A great place to relax. Silence and a great rest from the hustle and bustle of the city. A great feeling of happiness from communicating with animals. Riding a horse for the first time left a great impression for a long time. The horse's name was Smiley. Very calm and smart. Now I really want to even try to trot. If this is your first time trying to ride a horse, feel free to come and ride. Choose A Smiley Face. I will definitely come again more than once. A wonderful bathhouse, if anyone comes with a night stay. People are very friendly. By the way, if you have an overnight stay, then the zoo is free.
We were in August 2023, my daughter was riding a horse, she really liked it. We went to the farm, there are different animals there, up to Vasya the camel, everyone loves black bread very much! I recommend you to visit.
It 's a very peculiar place .If you want to plunge into the atmosphere of childhood with your grandmother in the village, then this is the place for you.In general, an interesting zoo, good-natured people
A summer camp for children has been organized. The son of 11 years was resting. Before that, he was completely indifferent to horses, but he loves nature and all sorts of rustic things (like sitting around a campfire, walking dirty-barefoot, being outside all day). In general, there is no limit to his delight!!! I didn't want to leave. The atmosphere is friendly, children of different ages, horse riding twice a day, daily entertainment, excellent food (according to the child)) Yes, I fell in love with horses, I would like to continue studying.
For children with a motor in one place;) I definitely recommend it!
A wonderful place for a family vacation, a company vacation. Wonderful and friendly people work here.
Our son gained invaluable experience with horses during his vacation at the equestrian camp during spring break, it was very difficult to leave them and return to Gomel again. But we know for sure that we will definitely come back here in the summer!
Horse Island ~ is a special place.We rode
riding with a friend for the first time in my life . Everything was great , we had a briefing and go ahead .The horses are very kind and obedient , you just get pleasure riding them . If there is an opportunity , do not miss this chance .
If you are thinking of going to this place for the weekend with your family, I do not advise you. The staff is arrogant and it feels like I have to arrive before I can. Check-in was from 12.00, but by this time they had not even cleaned, there was unsanitary conditions everywhere. The photos on the site are made better than they actually are! We were in the studio apartment number 1, the price is 60 rubles. and in the house where the sauna and pool are 150 rubles. And I can say that the price does not correspond to reality, the maximum for this service can be given 50 rubles and this is with a very large strain. In a house with a sauna, the pastel linen was not stripped from one set, it smelled of urine at all, the shelves were broken in the sauna and it was very cold, and when you put firewood in the furnace, carbon monoxide goes into the steam room, and for the first time I froze in the steam room. Yes, by the way, the roof is leaking there, which was visible on the sagging stretch ceiling! The studio apartment is a little better compared to the house, but again it is not cleaned at all, hot water in the washbasin in the bathroom is not provided, the shower cabin does not completely close and there are traces of mold from below. The hot water in the shower cabin is only enough to wash for 1.5 people.
In short, a vacation with children was not a success and the prices for such a place are very high. We will not eat in these sheds anymore and I will not advise my familiar friends!
We tried to relax in this barn, I can't call it anything else. It's a terrible place! Unsanitary conditions, faulty plumbing, a cold bath with a non-closing door, broken shelves, unburdened stones at the exit.
A pool of green water and these are clearly not coniferous extracts! None of our company dared to come even close, let alone swim!
Mice are running on the ceiling!
The smell of a dilapidated, unwashed barn for years.
There are Velcro tapes for flies hanging in the house, which have not been changed for a couple of months with a huge number of animals on them.
I doubt that the laundry that was brought to us was washed. Sofas on the street are torn and chairs from the USSR, which it is better not to sit on. A flimsy hammock that's about to fall apart!
There is no hot water in the toilet! Wash the dishes, gentlemen, in the shower stall, by the way, which has mold in it!
The roof is leaking, the suspended ceiling performs the function of a roof and thanks to this the rain does not drip on your head!
The cost of such pleasure is 150 rubles / day.
The horror!!! A nightmare!!! Shock!!!
Don't even think about going there if you don't want to spoil your mood!!
Today I had a chance to visit this estate, and I will say for those who have not been, this is a great place to spend time. I didn't ride under the ropes, the horse listens well. I tried to trot, but of course it needs to be understood. It's hard the first time. Nature is favorable, the weather is great!) During the route, we got acquainted with various landscapes, which was very impressive. The route is wonderful, the horses too, no question 5 stars!
I really liked the attitude, we came with children, my daughter rode, my son was afraid, I had to carry him in my arms after my daughter along the route, my daughter was delighted with it
It is not worth the money and time spent on the road (40 minutes). We have not tried horseback riding, the review is only for the mini zoo and the territory nearby
We rode horses, I liked it. A rustic manor, without the wow effect. But it is suitable for entertainment. The horses are pretty, they don't kick) they won't leave you on a horse in the middle of the forest)
I want to thank the horse island estate for a great day.
We celebrated homecoming here. My impressions are very positive. I recommend it to everyone, I will recommend it to all my friends. For the first time in our lives, we rode horses. Despite the cold, everyone was wildly delighted. Then we were fed in a beautiful, warm hall by a huge fireplace in which a fire was burning. The dishes were cooked in a Russian oven, one could swallow one's tongue from the sight. I RECOMMEND pork ribs on cast iron potatoes to EVERYONE!!! After lunch, we were invited to a wood-burning sauna. Russian Russian stove is also available in the recreation room, where we took turns resting, and a real Russian samovar was already waiting for us on the table. We have never tasted such herbal tea anywhere. The day went just fine, I didn't want to leave, and everyone agreed that we would spend all our holidays only here. Everything is perfectly clean. We were told that the staff who was responsible for cleaning and cooking had completely changed. Polite staff, a very pleasant receptionist and wonderful horse instructors.
Thank you very much, we already love you!!!!!!
Photos on the Internet and the Internet are completely untrue.
We came specially a hundred kilometers away, fell for these photos, took apples to feed the horses.. As a result, "horse island" is a dilapidated barn with access to a blooming swamp. When asked about "boating", they replied that the boat had been stolen.
They asked for 10 Belarusian rubles for a shabby swing for children. Well, maybe they'll feed the poor horse. Not another foot! A local eatery. Horror.
