The Experience
Before You Go
Dress in layers
Weather changes quickly—base layer, insulating mid-layer and waterproof shell will keep you comfortable at waterfalls and geothermal sites.
Waterproof shoes
Paths at Gullfoss and Kerid can be wet and slippery; low hiking boots with grip are best.
Bring a refillable bottle
Bottled water is provided but having a refillable bottle reduces waste and keeps you hydrated between stops.
Protect camera gear
Spray from Gullfoss and acidic geothermal steam can harm lenses—use a rain cover or ziplock for protection.
