• For whale watching: sturdy footwear, hat, gloves, scarf and a jacket.

• For rafting: Warm wool or fleece sweater and thermal underwear (pants) to wear underneath the wetsuit. Warm wool socks. This might get wet during your tour. Don’t wear cotton as it will not keep you warm when wet. Bathing suit to wear underneath the neoprene pants on the river and for the sauna.

• For after the rafting: Towel and a change of clothing.

• For the whale watching tour: As the weather in Iceland is unpredictable, we advise you to dress according to weather. In case of unfavorable conditions in the bay, the itinerary may be changed, which often results in a slightly longer tour or a cancellation. You will be notified of changes as soon as possible.

• As the whale watching is a wildlife tour it is not possible to guarantee sightings of any kind. Additionally, Elding abides by a Code of Conduct for responsible whale watching to make each encounter on the animal's terms. If no whales or dolphins are encountered then we do not offer refunds, but instead give our passengers a complimentary ticket to use another day.
