Snowmobiling

The snowmobile experience is operated by Mountaineers of Iceland

We offer daily departures from Gullfoss Café, where you can park your car and grab lunch. Our monster truck will then take you up to Langjökull Glacier. Driving through Iceland, a relatively new land compared to most of the world’s terrain, is quite an adventure. Looking out the window at the sparsely settled countryside with a few signs of commercial exploits is a rare sight for many visitors.

Once you arrive at our glacier hut, you will receive the appropriate equipment, such as helmets, overalls, overshoes, gloves, and a hat. Our friendly and fun-loving guides will instruct you on operating the snowmobile and go over the safety procedures before you ride off into the winter wonderland.

Our snowmobiles have double-riders, and children under the age of six are welcome to ride as passengers.

This tour is a relaxed group 1-hour ride on the glacier. You can switch the driver during the tour, and there is also time for pictures.

  • 2 persons share the same snowmobile, a single person per vehicle costs extra.
  • The age limit is 6 years and must be accompanied by an adult
  • Only one child is permitted per adult on this tour.
  • Dress according to the weather. In Iceland it is always smart to dress in warm, waterproof clothes, weather changes are sudden so expect the unexpected.

End of Tour

As we bid farewell at your hotel doorstep, cherish the memories of our journey together.

We hope our shared laughs, stories, and discoveries stay etched in your Icelandic adventure.

For the rest of your stay, dive deeper into Iceland's wonders—chase waterfalls, savor local bites, and chase those midnight sunsets.

And when you return, we'll be here, eager to create more unforgettable moments.

Safe travels, explore boldly, and until we meet again in this land of fire and ice!
