Description

Experience the thrill of snowmobiling across a glacier and explore the Golden Circle’s most breathtaking sites on this 10-hour small-group tour from Reykjavik. Perfect for adventure seekers and nature lovers, this excursion blends iconic natural landmarks with an unforgettable ride on Iceland’s second-largest glacier.

Your day begins with pickup in Reykjavik, where you’ll meet your expert guide and board a comfortable minibus built for small-group travel. As you head out of the city, enjoy scenic views of Iceland’s dramatic landscapes, from lava fields to snow-covered mountains.

The first destination is Thingvellir National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site where you can witness the continental drift between the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates. Surrounded by volcanic cliffs and crystal-clear springs, this geological wonder offers spectacular photo opportunities and a deep connection to Iceland’s natural beauty.

Next, you’ll travel to the Geysir Geothermal Area in the Haukadalur Valley. This geothermal hotspot is home to bubbling mud pots, steaming vents, and the highly active Strokkur Geyser. 

Watch in awe as Strokkur erupts every few minutes, sending hot water over 66 feet (20 meters) into the sky—an incredible display of Earth’s raw power.

The tour continues to Langjokull Glacier, where you’ll gear up for an hour-long snowmobiling adventure. Langjokull is Iceland’s second-largest ice cap, only after Vatnajokull, the largest in Europe. Because of its open and snowy plains, Langjokull Glacier is a top destination for snowmobiling adventures.

After a safety briefing, follow your guide across a snowy expanse of ice, surrounded by panoramic views of Iceland’s highlands. Whether you’re a first-timer or a seasoned rider, this thrilling ride promises to be a highlight of your trip.

The tour includes a two-person snowmobile, overalls, and safety gear. Upgrading to a solo ride is available for an extra cost during the tour.

After the snowmobile experience, you’ll make your way to Gullfoss Waterfall, one of the most powerful and awe-inspiring falls in the land of ice and fire. Walk the paths that lead close to the edge and feel the spray from its two-tiered cascade as it plunges into a deep canyon. The power and beauty of Gullfoss make it a perfect way to close out your adventure.

Wrap up the day with a relaxing ride back to Reykjavik, reflecting on the unforgettable sights and experiences from your journey.

Good to know

Snowmobiling tours are priced based on two people sharing one snowmobile, offering a fun and affordable way to enjoy the ride together. If you prefer to ride solo, you can upgrade to a single snowmobile for an additional cost.

Please note that a valid driver’s license is required to operate a snowmobile. If you don’t have one, no problem—an experienced guide can drive your solo snowmobile for an additional fee.

Weather, road, and glacier conditions in Iceland can change quickly, and for your safety, we may need to adjust the itinerary or tour components. Rest assured, your safety and experience are always our top priorities.
