Gullfoss Waterfall Meeting Point

Location: Make your way to Road 35 and find the upper parking area of Gullfoss Waterfall. Right there, you'll spot the 'Gullfoss - Panorama Restaurant - Cafe - Shop'. If you happen to park in the lower area, no worries! Just head back to the main road and take a right turn uphill. Here’s a map to help you.
Meeting Time: Please be at the meeting point 15 minutes prior to departure.
Vehicles to Look for:  Our transfer bus is located close to the Sleipnir meeting point sign at the parking lot close to the road of Gullfoss Cafe.

Langjökull Glacier Adventure

Beginning: The transfer to our main base where we keep the trucks is in a Highland bus. Once aboard the Sleipnir Monster Glacier Truck, pick one of the comfortable seats. Our adventure's about to begin!

Stories Along the Way: From start to finish, our guides, reservoirs of glacier knowledge and folklore, will keep you entertained. Their tales are as captivating as the scenery outside.
Traveling to the Glacier: We'll travel along the highland road to Langjökull, the 'Long Glacier'. Every turn reveals a new, beautiful sight. This location was challenging to reach in the past, but with our Monster Glacier Truck, we can get there safely.
Fun on the Glacier: Soak up the atmosphere of the Langjökull Glacier, enjoy the view and play Glacier Golf* and/or sled* down the snowy hill. Remember: you are standing on the second-largest glacier in Iceland!

Refresh & Refuel: After some exploring, there will be time for a little break. You will have a chance to taste the purest water straight from the glacier and enjoy drinks like hot cocoa and tea. At our glacier cafeteria, you'll also have a chance to savor Jökla cream liqueur and sample Kleina, a traditional Icelandic pastry.
Pictures Time: The stunning beauty all around is worth capturing. You'll have a chance to snap some photos to remember these epic moments!

Return to Gullfoss Waterfall

Journey's End: We end right where we began, at Gullfoss Waterfall. Take a deep breath, think about the awesome day, and maybe tell a friend or two about it.
