Things not to do when traveling to Iceland

The weather in Iceland can change drastically within a day, while most days of summer are expected; you may enjoy experiencing the sunshine in the morning, the rain in the afternoon, and the snowfall in the evening.

So even if the weather looks great from your hotel window, you should still bring your heavy jacket with you during your tours.

Do not go alone in the winter, and follow the directions

Usually, the winds during the winter season are severe in Iceland, especially if it coincides with frost, so tourists should not go hiking in the winter without a local guide or a tourist guide, and always wear appropriate clothing and bring ideal equipment for cold weather.

Biting beaches in Iceland are not suitable for swimming, so when you see warning signs in Iceland, it means that you must stick to them, and you should not stand too close to the sea there, do not turn your back to the waves, not even to take a selfie in such beaches.

Don't walk on glaciers without a guide

Surface ice may look beautiful and strong, but it can sometimes be dangerous. The ice can easily break and send you to the icy depths of the glacier, so do not under any circumstances walk at the top of a glacier without a certified mountaineer guide

 

Avoid buying bottled water from stores

Tap water in Iceland is one of the purest drinking water in the world, so there is no need to buy bottled water.

So when you visit Iceland, make sure to get a reusable bottle and drink the water that comes directly from the tap instead of wasting money on bottled water. This will not only save you money, but there is the added benefit of helping the environment by not purchasing prepackaged products with plastic

Do not go alone and do not ignore the warning signs

While nature in Iceland is breathtaking, every year, tourists get lost or have accidents while hiking in isolated areas, so if you want to go hiking in the remote parts of Iceland please go with a group (preferably a tour guide) and make sure someone in your hotel knows your plans.

Don't forget to exchange your leftover Krona before leaving Iceland

The Icelandic krona is a currency that banks outside of Iceland do not accept, so if you have any Icelandic krona you must exchange it before leaving the country, unless you want to keep them as souvenirs.
