The best tour I have ever been on! Thank you!
Everything they did was for our comfort, fun and safety. The tour was on time and everything was explained to us to a tee! The bus to the base camp was comfortable, the kit was clean and fit very well, the snow mobiles were in great condition, the staff were friendly, the views were amazing, the hot chocolate and biscuits after went down a treat. I cannot recommend this tour enough!

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, taking 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 580m-thick (1,903 ft) ice. Surrounded by towering mountains, the glacier offers a number of unexpected encounters with dramatic scenery. Interestingly, two or more volcanoes are hidden beneath Langjökull and an aerial view reveals the stunning calderas 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. Just don’t forget your sunglasses!
