Description

Join an adventure of a lifetime by riding a snowmobile on top of the famous Langjokull glacier while witnessing the grandeur of Iceland's scenery. While there, you will also be allowed to explore the spectacular interior of a glacier via the man-made ice tunnel. Book this tour now for travelers who seek an adrenaline rush.

The tour begins at Klaki basecamp, just at the base of the Langjokull glacier in the Icelandic Highlands. This location is the nearest and safest point of entry to explore the second-largest glacier in Iceland. Here, your friendly and experienced guide will brief you on everything you need to know about the tour.

The guide at Klaki basecamp will teach you how to ride the snowmobile, so you don't have to worry if you have no prior experience or knowledge of driving one. Besides, snowmobiles are pretty easy to operate. 

Just note that you need to have a driver's license for this. If not, you can book a guide to drive for you for an additional cost or join as a passenger. Once settled in, you are ready to kickstart your great adventure atop the magnificent glacier. 

Langjokull measures around 31 miles (50 kilometers) long and up to 12 miles (20 kilometers) wide, which is why it is sometimes called Iceland's 'Long Glacier.' It will take a little less than an hour to tour above it.

While driving or riding the snowmobile on the glacier's thick layer of powdery-white snow is a great adventure, you are getting more than that. On top of the glacier, you will witness the overwhelming beauty of Iceland's otherwordly landscapes, from icy walls to huge crevasses. 

If you think that's not enough, the next part of the tour will satisfy you even more. You will be given the rare opportunity to see and explore what's inside a glacier. 

Inside Langjokull lies the 1,640 feet (500 meters) long 'Ice Tunnel.' This man-made wonder features various corridors and chambers you won't see anywhere else. 

As you go further into the glacier's heart, you will see more blue ice formations. It's easy to be overwhelmed by the glacier's frozen halls, so while you still can, take as many photos as possible. 

Your tour experience will not be complete without some trivia and history lessons from your guide. You may ask as many questions as you like about the ice caps of Iceland, and your guide is an expert on their formation, history, and future. 

After touring inside the Langjokull glacier, travelers will ride back to the Klaki basecamp via the same snowmobile. To cap off your two-hour snowmobile and into the glacier tour, consider taking a photo on top of Langjokull. It's a great memento of this unforgettable experience.
