2.Golden Circle and Glacier Snowmobiling

★★★★★★★★★★4.8 · 1,312 reviews · 10 hours · from $347Top rated

Spend 10 hours combining Iceland’s classic Golden Circle with a one-hour guided snowmobile ride on Langjökull. Your English-speaking guide covers Viking history and geology while you travel by Wi-Fi-equipped coach. Expect warm protective gear, a monster-truck transfer to the glacier, and two people per snowmobile unless you pay extra for solo use.

“Amazing trip, guide Johanna had so much information to give us and was a lovely person. Snowmobiling was brilliant, you travel in a line so it doesn't go too fast and with the snow suit they give you its not a bit cold. such a fantastiic opportunity ti be on a glacier. A lot of bus time but you hardly even notice because of the lovely views out the window and the bus driver was a very safe driver. Perfect amount of time at the other 3 sites and lots of opportunity to use toilets and get snacks. Highly reccommend this trip.”

4.Snowmobiling Adventure on Langjokull Glacier from Gullfoss

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 377 reviews · 4 hours (approx.) · from $265

Meet at Gullfoss and ride a monster ice truck to Langjökull Glacier. After a safety briefing and warm-weather gear, you’ll spend about an hour driving a snowmobile across the icefields, with a photo stop along the way. The tour suits beginners, families, and first-time visitors, but expect a guided single-file ride rather than a free-speed outing.

“Myself, my husband and our 6 year old son had the most amazing experience We had a 2pm slot so caught the sun setting. The views from the top was incredible. Only downside was the truck we was in for the transfer slipped and tipped, terrifying us. And we all had to get off 1 by 1 to allow the driver to get it back upright. He assured us this was normal and can happen. But for first time explorers we was very scared. But soon forgotten about afterwards.”
