What to bring
Prepare for a day of discovery along Iceland’s magnificent Snæfellsnes Peninsula, where volcanic cliffs, black sand beaches, and coastal villages await. To make the most of your private adventure, it’s important to pack wisely for Iceland’s famously unpredictable weather and outdoor conditions.
Clothing and Footwear
Iceland’s weather can change from sunshine to rain or wind in a matter of minutes, so layered clothing is essential for comfort throughout the day.

- Mid Layer: Fleece or wool for insulation.
- Outer Layer: Waterproof and windproof jacket and pants for protection against the elements.
- Footwear: Comfortable, sturdy walking shoes or waterproof boots suitable for uneven terrain and light hiking.

A few small items can make your day even more comfortable and enjoyable.
- Small daypack – ideal for carrying snacks, water, and personal items.
- Reusable water bottle – Iceland’s tap water is clean, fresh, and safe to drink.

- Power bank – to keep your devices charged during your day of exploration.
Food and Snacks
Meals are not included, so it’s a good idea to:
