We provide all safety gear. Please note that our specialized glacier crampons are only available for shoe size 35 EU and larger. Those with a smaller shoe size are unfortunately unable to participate.
You must arrange your transportation to the meeting point of the tour (Skaftafell is 4 hours east of Reykjavik). The bus schedule during the winter is very limited so it is highly recommended to rent a car and to stay in the area either the night before or after your tour. Driving times can be greatly affected by winter conditions so please be sure to give yourself enough time depending on winter road conditions. Find out more about road and weather conditions.
