Travel Tips

The best time to visit is summer for accessibility and weather, but winter offers unique ice cave experiences. Pack warm, layered clothing, waterproof gear, sturdy hiking boots, and sun protection. Respect local nature and stay on marked trails. Icelandic weather can change rapidly, so be prepared for all conditions. Credit cards are widely accepted, but carrying some Icelandic krona is advisable for remote areas. Always check weather and safety updates before venturing into glaciers or wilderness.
