ICELAND Travel Vlog | Horseback Riding and Exploring Reykjavik | Winter 2017
1. Horseback riding on a lava field at Rauðavatn was so surreal - to be sightseeing on an Icelandic horse! It was super awesome when the horses did the tölt, one of their natural gaits.
We did the tour with Viking Horses, which is unique, being a family run company. The instructor was very attentive, and they even took us upstairs for some Icelandic snacks after the ride!
Some other places we visited were:
1. Harpa (
2. Icelandic Handknitting Association ( for that perfect wool sweater
3. Glo ( a very delicious vegan restaurant
4. Icelandic Phallological Museum ( for plenty of laughs with your friends!
