About Langjökull tours

Langjökull sits in West Iceland, within reach of Reykjavík and the Golden Circle, which makes it more accessible than the ice caps further east and south.

The Into the Glacier tunnel here is a man-made ice tunnel cut into the glacier, open year-round, which is different from the natural ice caves found on Vatnajökull that only open in winter.

Snowmobile tours across Langjökull's surface run in a suitable weather window, usually reached by a specially adapted vehicle from a base camp at the edge of the ice.

Warm, waterproof clothing is essential for both the tunnel and snowmobiling, since temperatures on and inside the glacier are well below what you will feel at the meeting point.

Questions people ask

Is the Langjökull ice tunnel natural or man-made?

Man-made. It is a tunnel cut into the glacier, which is why it can be kept open and safe year-round, unlike natural ice caves.

Can I snowmobile on Langjökull?

Yes, snowmobile tours run across the glacier's surface, usually combined with a ride out from a base camp in a specially adapted vehicle.

How do I get to Langjökull from Reykjavík?

Most tours include transport from a pick-up point or meeting spot in West Iceland, roughly 2 to 3 hours from Reykjavík including the drive to base camp.

Is Langjökull suitable for families?

The ice tunnel is generally suitable for a wide range of ages, while snowmobiling often has a minimum age or requires a valid driving licence to drive rather than ride.

What should I wear on a Langjökull tour?

Warm base layers, waterproof outerwear and sturdy boots. Suitable outer gear is often provided for snowmobiling.
