Check out this article: “What to Pack for Iceland in Summer (Clothing and other Essentials)”.

Things to Consider: The weather in Iceland is unpredictable. Think high 50’s for the high and mid 40’s for the low. Strong winds are possible as well as rain and snow. Make sure the pack rain gear as well as well as warmer base layers. We always recommend wool (socks, undershirts and long underwear) as it keeps you warm even when wet. You may also want to bring an eye mask. The sun will rise early and set late. There will be curtains in our hotel room, but we recommend bringing one just in case!

Can I bring my own horse riding gear? Yes, but it must be highly disinfected by the online policies.

Clothing for Hiking:

Please bring a hydration pack or bring a waterbottle. You can fill up in the streams in Iceland but we recommend when hiking to take 2 Liters. On the horses you can take smaller plastic water-bottles in the saddle bags and re-fill on the rides. Never buy water in Iceland because all the drinking water is the best in the world.

 – T shirts or tank top (wool – can be used in warm or cold weather)
-Rain Gear or Waterproof jacket
-Warm Jacket
-Layers- Wicking clothing and layers of non-cotton clothing will make regulating your temperature easier during the long hike day-Warm Hat, really warm hat!! and Gloves
-Hiking shorts (I prefer long pants) and wool socks

Laundry:  Hand-wash in the sink. Just prepare to be a bit dirty when riding the horses and the horses don’t mind the dirt.

Shoes: Riding boots with a heal (not cowboy boots) please talk with Colleen regarding boots because we will be riding English, Hiking shoes (shoes with good tred is a MUST), flip flops for hot springs/pools, comfortable shoes for around the guesthouse. If you have a a light pair of water shoes, bring them as we will do one river crossing on a hike.
