We are the Mountaineers Of Iceland. We’ve been operating tours on the glacier since 1996, so you can trust we know what we are doing.
We really enjoy reading our customer’s opinions about our tours.
But what we love the most is knowing that they had a great time with us and that Iceland is their new favorite place in the world.
Travelust112024-10-16Unreal and Incredible It was an unreal experience to ride snowmobiles on a vast open glacier. I think our experience was particularly good because we had fantastic weather, but our guide also told us that they take the tours in terrible weather too and they're not as much fun. Of course the tour company has no fault in that- just check the weather forecast and keep your fingers crossed.The tour consists of a ride in a modified army missile launcher truck- a stop at the base camp to put on overalls and protective gear, followed by another ride to the glacier. Then they demonstrate how to operate the snowmobiles and you have a 20-30 min tour on them with a five minute stop midway for pictures. I will say- I was apprehensive about riding these snowmobiles- I'm a slightly nervous driver- but I found it simple enough and quite fun after a few minutes of practice. Although it is slightly strenuous on your hands- but just a little. I also wanted to add that a small accident happened on our tour group where two snowmobiles collided and a child was hurt (very little). Again- not the fault of the tour company but just to make you aware that small incidents can happen. For me it was just amazing and I would highly recommend it to everyone, but specially people who like adventurous activities. Besides I think this is one of the only places in the world where you can ride a snowmobile on an open expanse of a glacier.Jeso S2024-10-12Breathtaking activity It's a breathtaking experience admist the views ! A must do !! It is a unique experience and guides were friendly. Truly felt surreal.Maggie2024-09-24Experienced and friendly crew running this amazing experience! I just had to come on here and give this company the credit they deserve. They were professional and friendly. The experience of the whole team was amazing to see. From the way they got us all geared up, to helping us along the way. I had unfortunately booked through a different tour, and they were not at all the same. For the future, I now know to book directly through mountaineers of Iceland. Thanks for an amazing experience.Lara M2024-09-04Frábært! We had a wonderful time on Langjökull! It was a sunny day and it was a lot of fun to pilot the snowmobile! I have to thanks our amazing guides Hákon and Viktoría!annemac222024-07-29An amazing experience! An awesome experience! Our guide,Peter, was great. Very funny! A great bus -we were the talk of every stop. Felt very safe.groggery12024-07-09Really fun highlight... Absolutely great experience, a real highlight of our trip to Iceland. A long bus ride from Gulfoss, but very rewarding. All kit supplied, very safe, and a lot of fun. The snowmobiles are kept in good order and the instructions are simple. Led out on new snow, probably 45 mins driving with a stop in the middle to recover your adrenaline levels. We went on a very sunny day which made it even more exhilarating. Would do again in a heartbeat.Beckett M2024-06-18Adventure Was cloudy at first and then opened up and was beautiful! The guides were awesome and made the time a blast, I come from a snowmobiling background and they let me have some fun on their sleds!Cartersandkids2024-06-16A day we will never forget! Such an amazing day!This was a brilliant day out that we will never forget. The Superjeep was so cool and extremely comfy. Group sizes are small and our guide was chatty and informative, about both the physical and human/political geography of Iceland. We loved seeing the geysirs and waterfalls of the Golden Circle Tour.I found the snowmobiling both terrifying and thrilling - to drive over the glacier was a really special experience and my teenage son and I took turns driving and I know he will never forget having had this opportunity. I personally wouldn't have been confident that my children could have held on securely enough to be safe 'co-pilots' until they were 11 or 12 as you go quite fast, the glacier is not flat and you go up and down slopes and over small streams at speed etc but there were people with young children on the tour after ours who presumably managed.Thank you for adding so much to our memories of Iceland - we will definitely use this company again.Julie S2024-06-12Highlight of the Golden Circle The tour staff very helpful and friendly. We did have nice weather. The ride out is long however wasn’t uncomfortable. Some beautiful scenery! The 3 snowmobile guides at 1400 on Friday June 7 were all excellent!!! It was so beautiful and exhilarating!! It is as people say but I got up to 45. Highlight of our Golden Circle time!! Thank you Mountaineers of Iceland - also Einar was very understanding and helpful!!
