PLEASE NOTE: This includes pick up and drop off from Reykjavík. If you are self driving and wish to meet on location click here.
This tour is a total of 8-10 hours, including time to travel to the ice cap with 1 hour on the snowmobile riding across the glacier. You will then spend around 45 minutes exploring the icy surface and ice cave on foot. It takes around 1 hour and 45 minutes each way to get to the glacier base camp with the remainder of the time being allocated to prep and logistics.
That’s only a part of the experience, as the view from atop the ice cap is quite incomparable with a 360 degree view of the highlands and icecap. On a clear day, you will be able to see Eiríksjökull Glacier (the highest mountain in west Iceland), Hofsjökull Glacier and the Kerlingafjöll Mountains. What a view!
There are scheduled departures most days. You can choose between a shared ride or single ride occupancy. If you are interested in a more intimate experience then you can drop us an email to learn about their private options.
