About this experience

This 10-hour super jeep tour combines the classic Golden Circle route with an exhilarating snowmobile experience on Langjökull glacier, giving you an action-packed day that blends history, geology, and high-altitude adventure.

The journey begins at Þingvellir National Park, one of Iceland's most historically significant sites and the birthplace of the world's oldest parliament, established in 930 AD. From there, the super jeep follows mountain tracks to the world-renowned geothermal area surrounding Geysir Hot Spring — the original spouting hot spring after which all geysers on Earth take their name.

Next, the tour continues to Gullfoss, Iceland's celebrated Golden Waterfall, where you stand close enough to the cascading glacial water to feel its spray on your face. The sheer scale and power of this two-tiered waterfall is one of Iceland's most memorable natural spectacles.

The final highlight takes adventure to the next level: a one-hour snowmobile tour across Langjökull, Europe's second-largest glacier. Your guide leads the group along glacier tracks, offering a perspective of Iceland's interior that few visitors ever experience. Hotel and guesthouse pickup in the Reykjavík area is included, making this a seamless full-day excursion.

Experience details

Your day begins with a hotel or guesthouse pickup in the Reykjavík area. The super jeep departs and heads first to Þingvellir National Park, where your guide shares the remarkable history of Iceland's ancient parliament grounds set within a dramatic rift valley landscape.

From Þingvellir, the route continues along mountain tracks to the Geysir geothermal area, where you can watch the powerful Strokkur geyser erupt and explore the surrounding hot spring field. The tour then moves on to Gullfoss, where viewing platforms bring you remarkably close to the thundering two-tiered waterfall.

The adventure culminates on Langjökull glacier, where you suit up in provided gear — helmet, gloves, winter suit, and buff — before setting off on a one-hour guided snowmobile tour across the ice. Two participants share one snowmobile by default; solo riding is available at an additional cost. A valid driver's licence is required to operate a snowmobile.
