Northern Lights Snowmobile Tour | Departure from Gullfoss
Combine sheer natural beauty and a thrilling adventure with this Northern Lights snowmobile tour on Langjökull glacier. Race across the ancient ice on a snowmobile while the stunning Auroras dance in the evening sky above. Those looking for the ultimate Iceland experience should not miss this tour.
You’ll meet your guides at the parking lot of Gullfoss waterfall in the evening. There, you will board a large vehicle that will take you through the rough terrain of the Icelandic Highlands to the country’s second largest glacier, Langjökull.
At the base camp at Langjökull, you will be given all necessary gear needed to enjoy your tour to the fullest, as well as a quick safety briefing and a lesson on how to operate snowmobiles. Then there is nothing left but to mount your ride and head on out to the darkness.
You’ll let the snowmobile’s headlight guide the way through the powdery white snow. Seeing a glacier at night is a unique experience, and the fading sun transforms this remote landscape of snowy peaks and icy plains into the perfect place to witness the celestial display of the Northern Lights.
You’ll be in the cosy embrace of the darkness as you look up into the evening sky for a glimpse of the elusive Auroras. Should the weather gods be in your favour, you’ll see a spectacle that defies the imagination as the green, pink and white colours in the sky swirl beautifully above.
