Food

by trazzer78

Food in Reykjavik is incredibly expensive! Make sure you pack a lot of food/snack items from home unless you want to break the bank.

DON'T FORGET THE SLEEPING BAG!!!!!!!

by kissmagdi

You should save a lot of money on the accomodation if you have your own sleeping bag. Be ready for any weather condition: wind, rain, sun, even snow.

Changing Weather

by boltonian

It rains, then it gets hot, then hail...... Iceland changes the weather by the minute.No matter what you wear when you leave the hotel, be prepared

Sneakers ain't good enough on lava

by Saagar

Bring your hiking boots with a fairly stiff outer sole if you intend to wander on trails and lava fields on Iceland. The lava might cut right through your sneakers/sports shoes.

It can get RAINY

by pjkdog

Make sure to pack a waterfroof windbreaker with a hood. It can get wet and windy! Also pack some hiking type shoes, they will blend right in at most places in the city.

Lightwieght Tent & Fishing Eqipment

by maxamus

Take a good Quality Tent & Rucksack as many over night locations are a long way from the road.

Warm & rain proof clothes. Also in summer. Not just a jacket. A pair of rain proof trousers are not a luxury !Hiking boots are a necessity.
