SNOWMOBILE IN THE GOLDEN CIRCLE | MEET ON LOCATION

From 29,500 ISK

Snowmobiling can be achieved year round in Iceland thanks to our mighty ice caps. This snowmobiling tour, meeting directly at their Skjól base camp, will take you onto the vast, snow covered, Langjökull glacier by super jeep. You’ll then zip across the snow covered glacier on a snowmobile, with incredible views in every direction.

PLEASE NOTE: This does not include pick up and drop off from Reykjavík. Jump over to our Snowmobiling with Reykjavík pick up and drop off here

This tour is a total of 4 hours, including time to prep and ride via superjeep up and onto the ice cap, with 1 hour on the snowmobile riding across the glacier.

The snowmobiling experience is phenomenal, but make sure to take in the spectacular views while you are there. The panoramic view of the highlands and neighbouring icecaps is incomparable. On a good day, you will be able to see Eiríksjökull Glacier (the highest mountain in west Iceland), Hofsjökull Glacier and the Kerlingafjöll Mountains. Not bad, right?

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.
