Mountaineers Meeting Point - Join us at Gullfoss Café for an exciting snowmobile adventure on Langjökull, Iceland’s second-largest glacier.
Participants will be picked up at the meeting point and transported to the glacier basecamp in a specially adapted mountain truck, traversing rugged highland roads and breathtaking mountain scenery along the way (weather permitting). The journey itself is an adventure even before the snowmobiling begins.
At the basecamp, all necessary equipment will be provided, along with a safety briefing on snowmobile operation and important considerations while on the glacier.
The group will then embark on a one-hour snowmobile ride across a vast, snowy landscape that feels like a world apart. There will be stops for photos and to take in the stunning views and refreshing glacier air. This experience is a delightful and unforgettable addition to a Golden Circle day, whether you have a rental car or are staying nearby.
The tour concludes with a return to Gullfoss.
Please arrive 10–15 minutes prior to departure.

A worth while experience - A good experience that was 100% worth doing. I liked being in a big group. The staff were very attentive and cared for safety. Was a friendly, efficient team. I drove that was quite hard and uncomfortable on the way to the glacier as we went slowly. My partner who sat behind me enjoyed this part. We stopped at the glacier for photos. On the way back we were quicker so it was more fun and easier to drive, my partner didnt enjoy this so much as it was bumpy and she was holding on for dear life! All in all, worth the experience, just be aware its not the most easy/comfortable experience!

Only for the fit - Was a great once in a lifetime experience. The guides were professional and friendly. They made us feel safe with them. However I seriously underestimated how difficult the snowmobiles were to manage. Upper body strength is a requirement to handle the machine. I was totally drained at the end of the ride.

Too many riders - Transfer vehicle filled to capacity for a long uncomfortable journey. Ended up on back row with 6 other people. Had to sit forward all journey (unable to fasten seatbelt as no room to do so) just to make room for all to be seated. Experience good but could have been better experience with faster speeds on snowmobiles and a lot less people involved

Don’t waste your time or money - Disappointing experience! The actual snowmobiling was less than an hour. The group was simply too big (40 at a time).
Very slow procession of less than 20kph, the heated grips on our bike didn’t work.
Compared to previously snowmobiling in Finland and Sweden this comparison was very poor.
