This four-hour tour begins at the upper parking lot of Gullfoss waterfall. Participants travel in a 4x4 monster truck across the rugged terrain of the Icelandic Highlands toward Langjökull glacier. Upon arrival at the glacier, a professional guide provides a safety briefing and instructions for the snowmobile ride. The snowmobile portion lasts one hour and includes several stops along the way on the glacier. Each participant receives a winter suit, gloves, helmet, and buff for protection during the ride. The tour is designed for independent travelers visiting the Golden Circle who want to add a snowmobile ride to their itinerary. Food and drinks are not included. Solo riders must pay an additional fee to operate a snowmobile alone. The tour requires participants to be at least six years old, and children or teenagers must be accompanied by an adult. There are two passengers per snowmobile.

Itinerary
Meet us at Gullfoss Café and come with us for a snowmobile ride on Langjökull, Iceland’s second-largest glacier. We’ll pick you up at the meeting point and drive you up to our glacier basecamp in a specially modified mountain truck, crossing rugged highland roads and open mountain scenery along the way (when visibility allows). It can already feel like an adventure before the snowmobiles even start. At our basecamp, we’ll provide all the necessary gear you need and give you a safety briefing on how to operate the snowmobile and what to keep in mind out on the glacier. Then we head off for a one-hour snowmobile ride across a wide, snowy landscape that feels a world away from everything else. We stop during the ride for photos and a chance to enjoy the views and fresh glacier air. It’s a fun and memorable way to add something special to your Golden Circle day if you have a rental car or if you're staying in the area. After the tour, we return to Gullfoss. Please arrive 10–15 minutes before departure.
