Dress in layers
Icelandic weather flips—bring a waterproof shell and insulating mid‑layers so you can adapt quickly between sunny viewpoints and cold, windy coasts.
Watch the waves at Reynisfjara
Stay well back from the waterline; sneaker waves are powerful and unpredictable and have pulled visitors into the sea.
Bring a dry bag or plastic zip bag
Protect cameras and electronics from waterfall spray and sudden rain; many viewpoints are misty even on clear days.
Wear sturdy, grippy shoes
Trails at Seljalandsfoss, Skógafoss and glacier viewpoints can be slippery and uneven—ankle support helps.
Waterproof jacket
Keeps you dry through spray at waterfalls and sudden coastal rain.
Sturdy hiking shoes
Required for gravel beaches, wet trails and uneven viewpoints.
Warm mid‑layer (fleece or down)
Traps heat on windy coasts and at higher elevations; useful year‑round in Iceland.
fall
Camera or phone with extra battery
Long days of photography drain batteries—carry spares and a waterproof case.
