Description

Embark on an exhilarating snowmobiling tour on the Langjokull glacier in Iceland. This exciting snowmobiling excursion is perfect for travelers exploring the Golden Circle who want to add an extra layer of fun and get a closer look at one of Iceland's mighty glaciers.

You'll start your trip at the Skjol campsite, near the breathtaking Geysir geothermal area and the majestic Gullfoss waterfall. You'll meet the expert local guide leading the tour and board a super jeep to travel to the Langjokull glacier.

Super jeeps are specially modified vehicles designed to tackle Iceland's challenging terrain. They offer a safe and exciting ride over bumpy tracks as you approach the ice cap. 

The Langjokull glacier is one of Iceland's largest ice caps. Its name means "long glacier" in Icelandic. It covers over 360 square miles (about 935 square kilometers). By the end of your tour, you'll better understand the sheer magnitude of this frozen river.

On arrival at the glacier, your glacier guide will give you all the safety gear you need for a worry-free snowmobiling experience. You'll wrap up in a warm snowmobile suit, sturdy gloves, and a balaclava, and you'll also receive a helmet to protect your head.

Before you start your snowmobile, the guides will provide thorough instructions on operating these powerful machines, making the tour suitable even for beginners. When you feel confident, it'll be time to set off.

Zoom across the ice and feel the wind on your face as you embark on this exhilarating one-hour ride across the glacier's pristine surface. Experience the thrill of speeding across the icy landscape and listening to the roar of the snowmobile and the crunch of snow beneath your tracks.

Panoramic views will surround you, and you can stop to photograph the glacier's natural landscape. On a clear day, you can see the Eiriksjokull glacier, the imposing peaks of the Kerlingarfjoll mountain, and the dome-shaped Hofsjokull glacier. 

Each snowmobile is shared between two riders, so you can take turns driving. If you'd prefer to do all the driving yourself, you can upgrade your booking to a solo ride. Please note that everyone who wants to drive the snowmobile must bring a valid driver's license.

After about an hour of exploring the glacier's icy terrain, it's time to return the gear and bid farewell to the snowy expanse of the Langjokull ice cap. You'll board the super jeep and return to the Skjol campsite to continue your Golden Circle adventure at your own pace.

Enjoy an adrenaline rush and get to know one of Iceland's longest glaciers on this fantastic snowmobiling tour. Check availability now by choosing a date.
