Glacier Snowmobiling From Reykjavik or Geysir Area

Langjökull Glacier, also known as “the Long Glacier,” is a premier snowmobile destination open for adventurous activities all year round. It is the closest large glacier to Reykjavik, and it takes approximately 2.5 hours to reach it from the capital city. Feeding rivers, lakes, and hot springs, the glacier is a vital part of the Icelandic ecosystem.

A ride on the top of the glacier takes you on the 580 meters-thick (1,903 ft) ice. Surrounded by towering mountains, the glacier hides two or more volcanoes beneath its surface, and your view reveals the dramatic peaks of these volcanic systems.

Speeding across the glacier gives you an unparalleled opportunity to get closer to some seldom-seen vistas of the surrounding mountains. If we’re lucky enough to catch a sunny day, you’ll be greeted with picture-postcard views of the Icelandic wilderness.

Your adventure starts in Reykjavik, from where we drive northeast to our Langjokull base camp. Our 4x4 Super Trucks are outfitted with massive tires and engines to reach the glacier all year round.

Upon arrival, our guides will help you gear up for an exciting one-hour snowmobile ride. We’ll brief you on the safety and operational guidelines and then it’s time to head out the door and onto the ice cap.

For your snowmobile adventure meet us at the Geysir Centre. We kindly ask you to be there 15 minutes prior to departure.

Once in our Super Jeep, we’ll head to the mighty Langjökull Glacier, nestling in the west of the Icelandic Highlands. While on this powerful vehicle, specially designed to hit the rugged wilderness, lean back to enjoy Iceland’s otherworldly landscapes. Before long, a vast white desert of snow-covered ice will appear on the horizon. As soon as you set foot on Iceland’s second largest glacier, a shiver of excitement will run through your body and you’ll know that your adventure is about to begin!

If you don’t have previous experience riding a snowmobile, we’ve got you covered.

Upon arrival at the base camp on Langjökull Glacier, your guide will show you how to operate the vehicle safely. Then, get your thrills as you zoom over the snowy surface of the impressive glacier!
