It is important to prepare for this tour properly.

Make sure to get an excellent travel agency to plan this trip. A good option will tell you what to expect while in the area in terms of the weather and climate conditions.

One should carry warm clothes to avoid getting sick or hypothermia. Many agencies advice their clients to prepare for the cold, windy conditions and rain. They further advice you to carry some warm boots that are either neoprene or rubber insulated. As for the rain, waterproof jackets, raincoats and pants are sufficient to keep you dry and warm. The pants should not be made from cotton.

Make sure to carry warm hats. Fleece hats and wool toque are made from quick to dry materials. Pack gloves and mittens made from a wind resistant fabric as well as long underwear of synthetic or wool material. Socks are also very important as they keep feet warm.

When it comes to accessories, one should carry toiletries, phones, sunglasses and alarm clocks that glow even in the dark. They should also carry any medicine or vitamins they use. These should come with a complimentary backpack that is waterproof to keep things in it dry.
