Description

Ride a snowmobile on Vatnajokull Glacier, the largest glacier in Europe, on this tour in Southeast Iceland. The tour suits anyone who wants to add an active day to their trip.

You meet your group and guides at the base, then board a super jeep built for rough terrain. You drive up mountain road F985 and onto the glacier.

After instructions from your guides and a full set of safety gear, you set off. Beginners are welcome, and your guides can help with any questions.

Vatnajokull Glacier lies near many of the South Coast's best-known sights. Under the ice cap are valleys, mountains, plateaus, and active volcanoes.

On the glacier, you explore the wide, white expanse of ice with only the hum of your snowmobile around you. You can ride over the snowy mounds and icy ridges, or cruise slowly to take in the views and take photos.

From the glacier, you see deep valleys, high mountains, and the ice cap itself, with views across Iceland's interior and the south.

What to bring

Sturdy shoes for walking or hiking
Warm clothing and outerwear for chilly or rainy weather (waterproof recommended)

Good to know

The tour lasts about 3 hours, including 1 hour on the glacier.

The meeting point is Vagnsstadir, about 31 miles (50 kilometers) from Hofn Town and about 980 feet (300 meters) from the main road.

The minimum age is 6, and children can only ride as passengers.

The tour needs at least 2 people to run.

Two people share each snowmobile, and riding alone costs an extra 10,000 ISK per person.

You need a valid driver's license to drive a snowmobile; passengers don't need one.

Don't wear jeans, because denim absorbs moisture quickly and takes a long time to dry, which leaves you very cold.
