Layer for wind and rain
Icelandic weather changes fast — a waterproof outer layer and warm mid-layer make outdoor stops comfortable year-round.
Bring swimwear and a towel
Sky Lagoon includes entry and towel rental, but bringing your own quick-dry suit speeds up transitions between sites.
Protect fragile ground
Stay on designated paths at Þingvellir and Kerid; the moss and soils are delicate and take decades to recover if trampled.
Charge devices and bring a power bank
The minibus has USB chargers, but long photo sessions and navigation drain batteries quickly — bring spare power.
Waterproof shell jacket
Keeps wind and spray off during exposed stops like Gullfoss and Þingvellir.
Sturdy walking shoes
Good traction is useful on muddy tracks, boardwalks and the crater rim at Kerid.
Swimwear and quick-dry towel
Needed for the Sky Lagoon ritual and pools; towel rental is included but personal gear is more convenient.
Insulated water bottle
Staying hydrated is easier with a refillable bottle; warm drinks are helpful in colder months.
