Description

Combine the thrill of snowmobiling and ice caving with an unforgettable day tour from Reykjavik to Langjokull Glacier. This tour is perfect for travelers looking for a rare chance to explore Iceland's second-largest glacier from the inside out with expert guides.

Your 10-hour tour in Iceland begins with a pickup from your hotel or a nearby bus stop in Reykjavik. From there, you'll board a comfortable coach for a scenic drive to Langjokull Glacier. 

As you leave the city, you'll pass by rugged lava fields, rolling valleys, and snow-dusted mountains. Stop by Hraunfossar Waterfalls, where crystal-clear streams cascade through an ancient lava field. These stunning formations were carved by eruptions from Langjokull Glacier's volcanoes thousands of years ago.

Once you reach the glacier base camp, gear up for an exhilarating snowmobile ride across the icy terrain. 

You will be fitted with all the necessary equipment to give you comfort throughout your exploration. There will also be a safety briefing to help your group be more comfortable navigating the icy wilderness of Langjokull.

Feel the thrill as you carve through the snow while enjoying the panoramic views of Iceland's frozen landscapes. The ride combines speed, fresh mountain air, and a sense of freedom as you glide across the glacier's expansive, open terrain.

Due to its excellent snow conditions, Langjokull Glacier is one of the best places for snowmobiling in Iceland. Its high altitude keeps the trails smooth and covered, making it a reliable spot for an exciting ride.

To operate a snowmobile, you must hold a valid driver's license, but those without one can still join the tour as passengers. It's an ideal experience for pairs or groups who want to share the ride and the views, regardless of driving ability.

But the adventure doesn't stop there. Venture into the glacier to the heart of Langjokull Ice Tunnel, the longest artificial ice tunnel in the world.

Wander through glowing blue corridors, feel the frozen walls, and see the compacted layers of snow that have built up over the years. Your expert guide shares insights about glacier formation and how climate change is reshaping Iceland's frozen landscapes.

Unlike natural ice caves, the Langjokull Ice Tunnel remains accessible year-round, offering a unique opportunity to explore an icy wonder regardless of the season. The tunnel's smooth, well-lit walkways make exploring easy for all ages. Warm layers are recommended, as temperatures inside the glacier stay below freezing even in summer.

After an hour inside the glacier's depths, you'll hop back onto your snowmobile for another thrilling ride across the ice. Enjoy one final high-speed dash through the Arctic wilderness before returning to Reykjavik.

Don't miss this once-in-a-lifetime experience that combines speed, adventure, and the breathtaking beauty of Iceland's Langjokull Glacier. Check availability now by choosing a date.
