    Icelandic winters can be very cold, we recommend dressing in warm layers, a waterproof jacket, and sturdy shoes. We recommend bringing a winter hat, scarf, gloves, and wearing warm socks for colder days.

    Please note that this tour is weather dependent. In case of unfavourable conditions in the bay, the itinerary may be altered or the tour could get cancelled altogether. You will be notified of any changes as soon as possible.
