About this experience

This full-day tour combines a thrilling Super Jeep transfer with a one-hour snowmobile ride on Langjökull Glacier, Iceland's second-largest ice cap. Departing from Reykjavík with hotel pickup included, you travel to Skjól before boarding a specialised Super Jeep or Monster Truck for the final ascent onto the glacier.

At the glacier base camp, your guide fits you with all necessary snowmobile equipment — a full snowmobile suit, gloves, ski goggles, balaclava, and helmet — and delivers a thorough safety and riding briefing before you set off across the ice. The standard tour price covers two participants sharing one snowmobile; a solo snowmobile upgrade is available for an additional fee.

Langjökull is far more than a flat expanse of snow. The glacier is punctuated by ice-filled volcanic craters, and from its slopes you can see the neighbouring Eiríksjökull glacier, the Hofsjökull glacier, and the striking Kerlingafjöll mountain range stretching across the Icelandic interior.

The tour runs for approximately 8 hours in total, with Reykjavík hotel pickup and drop-off included. A driver-guide accompanies the group throughout, and all snowmobile safety equipment is provided on-site.

Experience details

Your day begins with a hotel pickup in Reykjavík. The group travels to Skjól, where you board a specialised Super Jeep or Monster Truck for the ascent to Langjökull Glacier.

At the glacier base camp, your guide provides all snowmobile equipment and delivers a riding and safety briefing. You then spend one hour snowmobiling across the glacier, surrounded by ice-filled volcanic craters and sweeping views of the Icelandic interior, including Eiríksjökull, Hofsjökull, and the Kerlingafjöll mountain range.

After the snowmobile ride, the group returns by Super Jeep to Reykjavík. The full experience lasts approximately 8 hours. The operator reserves the right to adjust the itinerary based on weather, road, or glacier conditions, with participant safety as the priority.

Why choose this tour

This tour offers one of the most direct and well-equipped routes onto Langjökull Glacier from Reykjavík. The Super Jeep transfer is itself a highlight — purpose-built vehicles handle the rugged highland terrain that standard transport cannot reach.

All snowmobile gear is included and fitted on-site, so no specialist equipment is needed. The standard shared-snowmobile format keeps the price accessible, while the solo upgrade option suits those who prefer their own machine. A minimum age of 8 years applies, making this a viable option for families. A valid driver's licence is required to operate a snowmobile independently.
