Bring a reusable water bottle and snacks; the hike is about 3-4 hours round-trip. I ran out of energy halfway and had to rush the last part to make it back.

I think starting your ride around 10 AM is perfect. You get the best weather, and it's less crowded too. Plus, it gives you plenty of time to enjoy lunch afterward!

I suggest wearing layers! The weather changes super fast on the glacier. I froze a bit because I didn't pack an extra sweater. Bring gloves too - trust me!

If you're heading there, try to arrive by 9 AM. We found fewer crowds and got some amazing photos without a bunch of people in the background. Plus, it’s easier to find parking then!

I suggest wearing good hiking boots! The trails can get slippery, especially near the waterfall, and you definitely don't want to take a tumble. Trust me, it happened to a couple near us, and it wasn't pretty!

My advice is to wear layers! It can get chilly up there, even if it's sunny in Reykjavik. I was shivering a bit in my light jacket, and I wish I had thought ahead!
