Bring waterproof layers and sturdy shoes for any tour rated 'occasionally sporty', particularly the glacier hike to Eyjafjallajökull and the Landmannalaugar hiking combo. For the 11-12h tours, pack extra food, water and a warm mid-layer regardless of season, since highland temperatures in Iceland can shift fast.
