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.
GrandTour359791104782024-11-13Worth every cent! Our tour was cancelled the day before due to bad weather but we were offered the possibility to reschedule or get a full refund. Fortunately we were able to change plans and go on the next available tour. It starts with a 45-minute drive in a super truck to the base camp. There you get all the equipment (snowsuit, helmet, balaclava, gloves) and another 10-15 minutes to the snowmobiles. A guide gives you a quick explanation and some safety rules and off we go! An amazing 25 minute ride, then a short break (about 10 minutes) to rest and take some pictures, and another 25 minute ride back.It was probably the best experience in Iceland!! Worth every cent!Franchesca L2024-10-30Wonder tour guides and very welcoming So well organised and a great excursion for the whole family , we lost a phone in the snow during the excursion and we truly thought it couldn’t be found , they put in such great efforts to find this phone for two days and had found it for us we are forever grateful and shall pay their kindness forwards xJohn C.2024-10-22Excellent tour with Mountaineers of Iceland: 10/10 and would go again with them. Excellent trip with an excellent guide and first rate company. Aaron was our guide -- pickup at the bus stop 14 was early. Our guide introduced himself, and we were on our way. The vehicle was specially equipped for the rugged terrain of the glacier. The tour was informative, comfortable, and well paced. We were not able to see the geyser erupt the first time, so Aaron made it a point to stop on the way back to make sure we witnessed it. Further, Aaron gave great historical information about each place we were viewing - tectonic plates in the national park, the geyers, the greenhouses, the glacier, and Gullfoss waterfalls. We took several tours when here in Iceland -- this one was the best quality. The snowmobiling kit provided was fantastic. We had snow for most of the day and Aaron was an excellent and skilled driver. The vehicle had enough room to be comfortable, and the pacing of the tour included well timed stops for lunch and bathroom breaks.I would easily choose Mountaineers of Iceland again for our tour.south7312024-10-17Great tour great guide Excellent tour in the super jeep, with a fantastic guide who aimed to make the experience as informative and easy as possible with a great sense of humorKaren F2024-10-17A. Blast snowmobiling on a glacier Great! Staff was great. Organized. Professional yet fun. Equipment very warm but be sure to wear warm shoes (they aren’t included)Marilyn T2024-10-17Never too old for a little adventure! My daughter and I had a blast snowmobiling in Iceland. We felt safe and the ride from the home base to the glacier was an experience in itself. Highly recommend Mountaineers of Iceland!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.
