There were several items we were very glad we prepared ahead of time:
► Waterproof Rain Poncho: https://amzn.to/3NfIUh4. It often rains in Iceland. We took rain ponchos, which helped us when it poured a few days non-stop. This poncho is very lightweight and easy to pack.
► Power Bank Portable Charger by Anker: https://amzn.to/3LgBxmW. Sometimes, we needed to charge out devices and did not have an outlet available. We chose this Anker power bank for its large capacity and ability to get charged by 2 USB inputs, which recharge the power bank 2x faster.
► Travel Outlet Adapter Kit: https://amzn.to/445errH. This is a must have item when traveling abroad. This adapter is ETL listed and was tested to North American safety standards. We avoid buying electronics not UL or ETL tested for safety.
► Free Downloadable Map Phone App: We used Offline Maps Navigation by VirtualMaze (Android https://play.google.com/store/apps/de... iOS https://apps.apple.com/us/app/offline....
► Car USB Charger for Phones: https://amzn.to/420U25y. Given how much time we spent on Ring road, we opted to have a dedicated car charger for our devices. While rental cars may have USB charging ports, they are sometimes slow to charge.
► Phone Mount for Car: https://amzn.to/3HfDmPQ. In case you don't have one, we highly recommend it for your trip to Iceland. We took our phone mount with us and it saved us a lot of headaches.
► Lightweight Travel Tripod: https://amzn.to/3V812ew. We love traveling and taking photos. Iceland is a photographer paradise with its dramatic landscapes. To capture those views we took a lightweight travel tripod that is compact, but steady enough to withstand winds. We have been using Bonfoto lightweight tripods for 4+ years and they never disappointed us. They offer inexpensive aluminum and higher priced carbon fiber versions. We personally use the carbon fiber version, as it is more weather resistant.
