It's a good idea to book tickets for the tours in advance as they do sell out.
Hvað á að taka með
Pack for the season.
If your lodging is in a tent, please keep in mind canvas walls do not offer insulation. We will do our best with extra bedding, space heaters, (or a/c depending on the season), etc. but it's better to be prepared just in case!
When there it has been raining in excess you may choose to wear older shoes or stick to paths.
