Dress for the weather: Iceland's weather can be unpredictable, so it's important to dress in layers and bring waterproof clothing. Even in the summer months, it can get chilly on the coast, so a warm jacket and a hat can come in handy.
Wear comfortable shoes: This tour involves walking on uneven surfaces and hiking up to the top of a volcanic crater, so it's important to wear comfortable shoes that can handle some rough terrain.
Bring snacks and water: While the tour includes a lunch break in Arnarstapi, it's a good idea to bring some snacks and water to keep you energized throughout the day.
Don't forget your camera: The Snæfellsnes Peninsula is one of Iceland's most scenic regions, and you'll want to capture as many photos as possible of the stunning landscapes and iconic landmarks.
