WHAT TO BRING • Waterproof jacket and pants because even on warm days, it’s best to stay dry at all times. • Recommended to have sturdy, waterproof footwear when travelling in Iceland • We do make stops to allow you to stock up on some snacks and drinks along the way if you do not have any. Lunch is not included but we do stop at one of our favourite restaurants for lunch, so plenty of time to buy something to eat. Vegetarian and vegan options are available. • During the darkest winter months we may need to order food to have on the go, so that we can use the precious short daylight hours at the wonderful South Coast sights. PICKUP & DROP-OFF • Please inform us of where you are staying in Reykjavik. Restrictions within Reykjavik means buses have to pick up from designated points. We will inform you of the nearest pick up point if you tell us where you are staying. • Pick up time for the South Coast: Fire and Ice day tour is at 8:30 am from the nearest pickup point. There may be other people being picked up from different locations in Reykjavik though, so if we are a little past 8:30 am then don’t worry, we’re on our way. • Drop off time: It’s a long day and for good reason, we squeeze in a lot. We aim to be back at your drop off point around 7:00 pm, but many things can affect that time so please don’t worry if we are a little late returning. It’s either for safety reasons or to give you the best experience. • Check the pickup information page on our website for more info on the pickup locations. If there is anything not covered here or in our FAQ’s online then get in contact with us. We love hearing from you before your trip. We look forward to meeting you and showing you around this amazing country. Let the excitement build as this is going to be an amazing day that you will not forget!
