About this experience

This full-day tour combines a thrilling Super Jeep transfer, a guided snowmobile ride, and a visit to a natural ice cave — all in one 10-hour adventure departing from Reykjavík. Hotel pickup is included, and the journey begins with a scenic drive to Skjól, where you board a specialized Super Jeep or Monster Truck for the ride onto the glacier.

Your destination is Langjökull Glacier, Iceland's second-largest ice cap and a landscape unlike anywhere else on earth. Volcanic craters filled with ancient ice, sweeping views of the Icelandic interior, and panoramas stretching to Eiríksjökull, Hofsjökull, and the Kerlingafjöll mountain range await you at the top.

At the glacier base camp, you'll be fitted with a full snowmobile suit, gloves, balaclava, ski goggles, and helmet before your expert guide walks you through everything you need to know. The standard tour price covers two people sharing one snowmobile; solo riders can upgrade to their own machine for an additional fee per person. A valid driver's licence is required to drive; those without one can book a guide to drive for them at an extra cost.

The day also includes a guided walk into a natural ice cave, where sculpted ice walls and blue glacial light create a genuinely memorable experience. The operator reserves the right to adjust the itinerary based on weather, road, and glacier conditions, with safety as the priority.

Experience details

Your day begins with hotel pickup in Reykjavík, followed by a scenic drive to Skjól. From there, a Super Jeep or Monster Truck carries your group up onto Langjökull Glacier — the ride itself is part of the experience.

At the glacier base camp, guides fit you with a full snowmobile suit, helmet, balaclava, ski goggles, and gloves. A safety and riding briefing follows before you set off on a one-hour snowmobile ride across the ice cap. The standard booking places two participants on one shared snowmobile; solo snowmobile use is available as a paid upgrade.

The tour also includes a guided visit to a natural ice cave, where you'll walk through sculpted glacial ice and take in the striking blue tones of the interior. Views from the glacier extend to neighbouring ice caps and mountain ranges on clear days.

The full tour runs approximately 10 hours. Itinerary details may be adjusted by the operator based on weather, road, or glacier conditions.

Why choose this tour

Few tours pack this much variety into a single day. The combination of a Super Jeep ascent, a one-hour snowmobile ride, and a natural ice cave visit gives you three distinct glacier experiences without the need to book separately.

All snowmobile equipment is provided, hotel pickup and drop-off are included, and an expert guide accompanies the group throughout. Children aged 8 years and older are welcome, making this a practical option for families as well as couples and solo travellers. The operator's flexible snowmobile pricing — shared or solo — means the tour works for different group sizes and preferences.

Yes. The minimum age for this tour is 8 years. Children aged 8 to 16 years are booked under the Child price category. All participants, including children, are fitted with full safety equipment before the snowmobile ride begins.
What is the natural ice cave on this tour?
The tour includes a guided visit to a natural ice cave on Langjökull Glacier. Inside, you'll see sculpted glacial ice formations and the distinctive blue tones created by compressed ancient ice. The cave visit is led by your guide and is included in the tour price.
Can the tour itinerary change on the day?
Yes. The operator reserves the right to adjust the itinerary based on weather, road, or glacier conditions. Any changes are made with participant safety as the priority.
