Greatest day ever
Can say in all honesty that riding the snowmobiles up the glacier was one of the greatest days of my life . Could not recommend the trip enough. My wife and kids loved it. Book early though.

Nestled in the west of the Icelandic interior, Langjökull is Iceland’s second largest glacier and draws adventurous travelers from every corner of the world. Snowmobiling in Iceland wouldn’t be the same without this mighty glacier, which rises about 1,450 m (4,757 ft) above sea level. Blanketed in an untouched carpet of snow, it has an “easy” difficulty rating for snowmobiling and is perfect for beginners and experts alike.
It took thousands of years to form this mighty glacier that slides downhill due to the force of gravity. Today Langjökull’s ice sheet is up to 580 m (1,903 ft) thick. Also known as “The Long Glacier,” it feeds many attractions on the famous Golden Circle Route, including the Gullfoss Waterfall and the hot springs at Geysir.
Surrounded by lofty peaks and lava fields, the glacier offers a unique glimpse into Iceland’s otherworldly beauty. To take a snowmobile tour in Iceland is an absolute must for your bucket-list and will provide unforgettable memories that will remain with you forever. After all, what better place to experience the sublime than on the top of a gleaming glacier?
Snowmobiling from the Langjokull base camp is available only from June to October. For snowmobile tours that run all year round please look at our other tours. A valid driver’s license is required for a snowmobile ride. Children from 8 years old...)
