Hiking boots must be worn: it will not be possible to add the crampons required for the activity to other footwear.
It is very important to wear warm clothing, preferably waterproof, so that you can enjoy the excursion to the full.
Please give yourself plenty of time to drive from Reykjavík: in good conditions, the journey takes approx. 4.5 hours without stops, but with poor weather or road conditions, the journey will take longer.
Please note that the exact duration and itinerary of the activity are weather-dependent.
