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.

Beautiful. - We had this experience in early May, probably not the ideal time. I must say that it was still very pleasant and fun.
Very impressive route to get to the base camp (from the parking lot of Gullfoss about forty minutes). The equipment provided was suitable and well maintained.
The snowmobile ride takes about an hour with a stop (to change the driver if desired).
The landscapes are really beautiful.

Landscape and security - The information provided on the progress corresponds to the reality. Security is everywhere. The equipment is suitable for negative temperatures. Clean activity is exotic. To be done again with pleasure

Very fun experience!... - Very fun experience! Highly recommend this tour. When you get up there, you can’t even see the line between sky and snow, it was all white. Very unique experience! My dad is 70 years old, and he loved it!

One in a lifetime experience - By far one of the coolest excursions I’ve ever done in my life! Edgar was our driver and guide and he was fantastic. Very funny and kind. We were lucky since it wasn’t a bad weather day so we got to enjoy the excursion and the beauty of the snow filled landscapes. Highly recommend this excursion if you are visiting.

Nice and safe adventure - It has been a pleasant, quiet and safe excursion. It was absolutely snowy, it looked like another planet. The monitors were constantly watching during the route. Special mention to Edgar, very professional and friendly, also being Spanish has been a great help to my family!

Confusion from... - Confusion from ticket—thought we bought two tickets to ride separately but had to pay EXTRA upon arrival. Frustrating miscommunication.
The directions given by group snowmobile leader was brief and not explicit enough. People struggled and it limited my experience.

Would not recommend - Overall this was kind of eh. Edgar was awesome and made the experience better, but everyone else was pretty rude and not very welcoming. It’s also really expensive for what it is. I felt kinda nauseous during the ride which didn’t help, and overall I just don’t think it was worth the money.
