Your day begins with pickup from Reykjavík (if included), heading east toward the countryside. Your expert guide will share insights into Icelandic landscapes, folklore, and geology as you travel through farms, lava fields, and geothermal areas. Every stop along the way is unforgettable — from tectonic plates slowly drifting apart to the raw power of erupting hot springs.
Every moment is filled with excitement, beauty, and discovery — making this one of the most popular adventure day tours in Iceland.
Langjökull is known as the “Long Glacier,” stretching over 900 square kilometers. It’s the ideal place for snowmobiling due to its open terrain, wide snowfields, and accessible glacier base camps. When you arrive, professional guides provide your winter gear — including helmets, gloves, and overalls — followed by a safety briefing and instructions for operating the snowmobiles.
Even if you’ve never ridden a snowmobile before, don’t worry — they are easy to handle and guides ensure you feel confident before the adventure begins. Then the fun starts: engines roar, snow kicks up behind you, and you glide effortlessly across thick ice caps that have existed for thousands of years.
Along the ride, the group pauses at scenic spots so you can take photos and appreciate the breathtaking environment. On clear days, you'll be able to see across Iceland’s highlands and surrounding volcanoes — a photo opportunity you won’t want to miss.
This adventure is suitable for families, couples, solo travelers, and thrill-seekers. No previous experience is required, and guides ensure a smooth and safe journey. Drivers must hold a valid driving license, but passengers can ride along without one. Young children can join as passengers depending on tour provider age requirements.
It’s an active but beginner-friendly experience — just the right level of excitement for all adventure lovers.
Even though gear is included, it is important to dress appropriately for Icelandic weather. The glacier can be much colder than Reykjavík, so layers are essential.
Remember — the views are stunning, so you’ll want your camera ready!
Booking a standalone glacier tour is thrilling on its own, but combining snowmobiling with the Golden Circle ensures you maximize your time in Iceland. Rather than choosing between scenic sightseeing and adventure, you get both — creating a beautifully balanced day trip full of memories and photography highlights.
This tour is particularly ideal for:
