The Experience
Before You Go
Dress in Layers for Variable Weather
Icelandic weather changes rapidly—wear moisture-wicking base layers and pack windproof outerwear to stay comfortable throughout the day.
Bring Waterproof Footwear
Sturdy, waterproof boots are recommended for walking across riverbeds and rocky paths at Þingvellir and around the waterfall.
Use Sunglasses and Buff
Bright glare off snow and water can strain eyes; sunglasses and the included buff under the snowmobiling helmet will help shield your face.
