Due to a change in our itinerary, we were originally scheduled to visit Húsavík, a small town in the municipality of Norðurþing on Iceland's North Coast. While it's not a secret destination, many visitors to Lake Myvatn don't know that whale watching is possible just an hour away. It was a unique opportunity, but unfortunately, things didn't go our way! Due to bad weather, our original whale watching trip was canceled, but we might still have another chance tomorrow, so we rescheduled our horseback riding trip to today. Since everything was covered in white snow, we couldn't do much, but fortunately, the horses weren't affected.

We were actually quite lucky, as there were only two of us on our one-hour horseback riding trip today, effectively making it a private tour. Of course, the weather was still a factor, as most people were still stuck. Our tour guide explained that if the horses hadn't been able to navigate the thick snow yesterday, today's weather would have been better, so we could still go. We were so grateful!

This was our first dream trip to experience Icelandic horses. Starting from Grýtubakki Farmhouse, we'll ride to the Gljúfurá River and up the mountain along its banks, offering beautiful views of the Eyjafjörður Fjord. Returning to the farm, homemade cakes and pastries await. For safety reasons, the exact route of the tour will be determined daily, taking into account factors such as the duration of the ride, the riders' riding experience, and weather and route conditions.
