An Awesome and “Epic” Experience!
My best friend and I went to Iceland for my birthday trip and decided it would be cool to tour the Golden Circle and go snowmobiling on a glacier. I had never driven a snowmobile before or seen a glacier and it was amazing. My experience was definitely “epic” and I won’t ever forget it.

We’ll start off in Reykjavik and drive through the serene southern countryside. The first stop is a protected national gem - Thingvellir National Park. This UNESCO World Heritage Site is of great historical and national value. It was here in 930 c.e. that Vikings founded the world’s oldest parliament - the Althing. You can explore the area at will, where the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates are drifting apart at a rate of about 2 cm each year!
Next up is the active Geysir geothermal area with bubbling mud pots, pillars of steam and gushing geysers. The famous Great Geysir is dormant today, but there are other geysers that put up stunning shows. You’ll see how Strokkur bursts up every 4-10 ...)

The famous Great Geysir is dormant today, but there are other geysers that put up stunning shows. You’ll see how Strokkur bursts up every 4-10 minutes, spouting boiling water into the air. Just prepare your camera and watch for the eruption!

A few miles from the geysers is the giant Gullfoss Waterfall. You’ll hear the roaring echo of the falls even before seeing its tumbling glacial waters. Marvel at the wild waterfall from the top of the cliffs or walk along the path to get a look from up close. Gullfoss is fed by the Hvita River, whose waters originate from Langjokull Glacier and then travel miles across the country before it eventually cascades down 32 meters across the two-tiered cliff.
After your visit to Gullfoss, we’ll finish our tour with an adrenaline rush with a 1-hour snowmobile ride on Langjokull Glacier! We’ll kit you out with everything you need before our expert guide briefs you on the safety instructions and shows you ho...)
After your visit to Gullfoss, we’ll finish our tour with an adrenaline rush with a 1-hour snowmobile ride on Langjokull Glacier! We’ll kit you out with everything you need before our expert guide briefs you on the safety instructions and shows you how to operate the snowmobile. After that, zip up your suit and press down on the gas as we zoom across the 580m-deep ice! Langjökull is a vast frozen wilderness that hides many treasures - our journey across it will gradually unveil these natural wonders, including towering snow-capped mountains and ominous volcanoes.
To make this trip memorable and easy-going, our equipment is always the best possible. We currently have 40 snowmobiles available on Langjökull – Lynx Adventures 600 CC and Polaris IQ LXT 550 CC.
After an hour of roaring along the ivory ice, we’ll head back to the base before starting our drive back to Reykjavik.
