Description

Embark on an unforgettable adventure with this combination snowmobiling and ice caving tour on Langjokull, Iceland's second-largest glacier. If you want to experience the thrill of snowmobiling across expansive icy terrain and its hidden depths, this 4.5-hour experience is for you. 

The tour is meet-on-location and begins at the Husafell Activity Center in West Iceland. Located about a two-hour drive from Reykjavik, Husafell is a charming destination surrounded by mountains, lava fields, and woodlands. 

Led by experienced guides, this tour ensures both safety and fun throughout the journey. The guides are experts in glacier travel and will provide all the necessary safety briefings, equipment, and instructions to make sure you're comfortable on the glacier. 

Not only will they keep you safe, but they'll also share fascinating facts about the region's geology and glacial history. Feel free to ask them questions or assistance.

The first part of the tour involves an exhilarating snowmobiling ride. After a short drive from Husafell to Klaki base camp, located at the foot of Langjokull glacier, you'll be suited up in snowmobiling gear and get a safety rundown. 

Then, it's time to hop onto your snowmobile and head out across the snowy landscapes. As you glide over the glacier's vast white expanse, you'll feel the power of the snowmobile beneath you while taking in the breathtaking panoramic views of Iceland's frozen highlands. 

Langjokull glacier is one of the most ideal locations for snowmobiling not only because of its proximity to Reykjavik but also its terrain. It has reliable conditions and vast, snow-covered expanses for uninterrupted snow rides.

Please note that a valid driver's license is required to operate a snowmobile. Non-drivers, including children as young as eight, can ride along as a passenger in the two-person snowmobiles.

The second part of the tour is a one-hour ice caving experience known as "Into the Glacier." Here, you'll venture inside Langjokull to explore a man-made tunnel that winds deep into the glacier's icy core. 

The ice cave is an awe-inspiring sight, with walls of solid blue ice and intricate formations that have taken centuries to form. As you walk through the tunnels, your guide will explain the glacier's structure and the unique environment within, providing an up-close look at this frozen wonder.

After the ice caving adventure, you'll hop back on the snowmobiles for the return ride to Klaki base camp. From there, your guide will drive you back to Husafell, where the tour concludes.

This combination snowmobiling and ice caving tour offers an unbeatable way to explore Langjokull, making it an ideal choice for adventure seekers and nature lovers. Check availability now by choosing a date.
