Packing List
Getting ready for your trip to Iceland: Northern Lights
"If you are from a warm city like us, prepare for this trip like a ski trip - thermals and layers are a must. The temperatures are usually 20-40 degrees, and we will be outside for 30 minutes-2 hours at a time, so it's better to be over prepared for the cold, because it will make the sightseeing more enjoyable! Iceland also tends to mist on and off, so we recommend bringing waterproof everything. Also, don’t forget a swimsuit for the Sky Lagoon!"

* Credit card that can be used internationally (no need to bring cash, every place takes CC). If you don’t have an international credit card, bring your debit card to withdraw cash at the ATM.
* We often receive questions about tipping our guide (who is with the group for the entirety of the trip). While not required, it is a nice gesture and appreciated by her! As such, if you are interested in doing so, please factor this into any money you bring on the trip (USD is fine to tip with!). The average gratuity is ~$8 per day (~40-50 USD per person for the trip).
* Waterproof Phone Pouch/Case - If you want pictures in the Sky Lagoon, this is a good idea
* Reusable Water Bottle - Iceland has some of the best tap water in the world!
