This fast pace snowmobile tour is built for a quicker, more active ride than a standard glacier tour. You meet at Gullfoss Café and ride a powerful snowmobile across Langjökull, with all safety gear included.
Most snowmobile tours on Langjökull are set at a gentle, sightseeing pace. This one is different: it's aimed at riders who want to go faster and ride more actively across the glacier, still guided and with a full safety briefing, but with more of an edge than a standard tour.
You meet at Gullfoss Café rather than in Reykjavík, so you'll need your own transport to get there, about two hours' drive from the capital. Once geared up, the ride itself takes around an hour, with the guide leading the route across the ice depending on snow and weather conditions that day.
Because the pace is quicker and the terrain can be uneven, this is rated as a more challenging tour than the standard Langjökull rides, and it suits people comfortable on snowmobiles or open to a faster introduction. Dress warmly in layers under the provided overalls, since conditions on the glacier can be cold and exposed.
It's a faster-paced ride on more powerful snowmobiles, aimed at confident riders rather than a gentle sightseeing pace.
No formal experience is required, but you should be comfortable with a quicker, more active ride than a standard tour.
No, you need your own way to reach the meeting point at Gullfoss Café.
Roughly December to May, depending on snow and glacier conditions.
