Description
Fly from Fludir Airstrip on a helicopter ride in Iceland that takes you onto Langjokull Glacier, where your snowmobile adventure across the ice begins. This two-hour tour is ideal for families, couples, and adventure seekers looking to fly over Gullfoss Waterfall and experience Iceland’s stunning landscapes from both the sky and the glacier.
This helicopter tour and snowmobiling adventure combo offers an experience that few travelers ever get to try in Iceland. The thrill of landing a helicopter on a glacier and then riding across its endless snowfields offers a view of Iceland’s nature that is both exciting and completely different.
Guides provide clear instructions and all the necessary gear, so even first-timers feel confident before setting off. With snowmobiles built for two, it is a safe and family-friendly adventure where kids can ride as passengers and adults can share the excitement.
Your adventure begins at Tungufell Airfield in the Golden Circle area, about 75 miles (120 kilometers) from Reykjavik, which takes around two hours to reach by car. After meeting the team and your pilot there, you will board the helicopter at nearby Fludir Airstrip for the first part of your journey.
As the helicopter lifts into the air, you will see Gullfoss Waterfall and the surrounding landscapes from above. The view of rushing water, deep canyons, and white glacier fields below is an experience that few travelers ever get to try.
The flight continues toward Langjokull, Iceland’s second-largest glacier. Langjokull is often called the “Long Glacier,” and its size makes it one of the best places in Iceland for snowmobiling and other winter activities. Its meltwater also feeds into famous rivers and waterfalls, including Gullfoss.
The helicopter lands directly on the glacier, giving you the rare chance to step onto a wide world of snow and ice. From the glacier, the views are endless. Snow-covered peaks surround you, and the horizon seems to go on forever, creating the perfect setting for adventure.
At the glacier base camp, guides provide you with helmets, overalls, gloves, and other snowmobiling gear to keep you warm and comfortable. They also walk you through the controls and safety steps.
When the engines start, you’ll follow the guides onto the open glacier. The sound of the snowmobile and the crunch of snow under the tracks make the ride exciting as wide snowfields and tall peaks come into view.
The Langjokull snowmobile tour lasts one hour, giving you plenty of time to pause for photos and take in the stillness of the glacier. These moments let you appreciate the vast beauty of Langjokull before heading back to camp.
After the ride, you return to the helicopter for the flight back to Tungufell Airfield, carrying memories of Iceland’s glaciers from both above and across the ice.
