GLACIER SNOWMOBILE & ICE CAVE TOUR FROM GEYSIR AREA

From 44,100 ISK

This meet on location tour fits in two incredible experiences! Snowmobiling on top of a snow capped glacier and visiting a recently discovered ice cave. Nestled in the Golden Circle region of Iceland, this is an ideal half-day excursion in the colder months. Your local guide will take you by super truck onto the mighty Langjökull icecap, where you will swap onto a snowmobile to find a newly discovered ice cave.

Embark on a mesmerizing 4 to 5-hour snowmobiling adventure, an enchanting journey into the heart of Iceland’s ice cap. Experience the thrill of riding across the glacier on a snowmobile for approximately 1 hour, followed by 45 minutes of exploration on foot, uncovering the wonders of an ice cave.

While the main attraction is the pristine ice and snow beneath your feet, don’t forget to cast your gaze upwards. This remote location offers spectacular panoramic views of the highlands and nearby ice caps, creating unforgettable memories. On sunlit days, witness the spectacular Eiríksjökull Glacier, Hofsjökull Glacier, and the majestic Kerlingafjöll Mountains—a truly incredible sight.

Scheduled departures are available most days, providing the choice between shared or single ride occupancy. For a more intimate experience, explore our private options by reaching out via email. Immerse yourself in the extraordinary beauty of Iceland’s ice cap and create memories that last a lifetime.
