The Grapevine's take

Black Beach By Horseback

From the small and pleasantly mysterious town of Vík, taking a ride along its famous black shores on a mighty steed doesn’t get much better. The unique and delightful demeanour of the Icelandic horse is so easy to connect with and provides sanctuary to take in the foreboding coastline and bold basalt columns.
