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.
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!!Sepp2024-06-02Very cool and funny trip The whole trip was an unforgettable experience. Not only the snowmobile-tour, but already the transfer in the offroad-bus to the basecamp on the glacier. All the guides did a great job, so that everyone had a great time during the trip.Francine E2024-06-01Fun adventure! Fun family activity. Our children in their 20s enjoyed it and it would be perfect for those with teens too. Exhilarating views. They gave us very warm suits to go over other warm layers and we stayed surprisingly cozy. The gloves weren’t so warm. If you bring ski gloves you can use your own (or bring liners or hand warmers). We rode in pairs and there was a guide in the front and back to help with any issues that came up.Jodie W2024-05-11TRULY MAGNIFICENT! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 The most incredible experience, EVER!! 🤩 I cannot recommend this company highly enough. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 I booked the Golden Circle Tour with another tour operator, and added on the snowmobiling with Mountaineers of Iceland. Unfortunately, due to operational reasons, our Golden Circle Tour was cancelled - but, as Mountaineers of Iceland did not want us to miss our snowmobiling experience with them, they sent one of their Guides, ‘Inkie’ to come and collect us from a meeting point in Reykjavik, to take us on a 1:1 personal tour of the Golden Circle, just my husband and I!! This was so very appreciated and completely unexpected - Mountaineers of Iceland did not need to do this for us, but they did not want for us to be let down! They said that they never like to cancel unless beyond their control for safety - so if only 2 persons, they still commit to the plan. Absolutely fantastic service! So, off we went, the three of us (Inkie, my husband and I) in a big truck with gigantic wheels… such a cool ride and far more fun than the coach we would have been travelling on originally! 😝🤘🏻 Inkie was fantastic and gave us lots of interesting facts about the Icelandic history, landmarks and culture. We had a full tour, stopping at Þingvellir National Park, Gullfoss Waterfall, and the Geysir… all were magnificent. And then, the best part… up to the glacier we went for a thrilling snowmobile ride! Again, just the three of us - it was truly spectacular - we were completely lost for words…we made memories of a lifetime. The snowmobile ride was thrilling, but when we stopped at various points on the glacier to reflect and take photos, it was silent, calming and very humbling, a real honour, actually, to experience such natural beauty in the safety of a guide. It was like being on another planet. We truly saw Mother Nature at its finest. 🏔️❄️💫 We were so lucky with the weather and could see for miles around…blue skies, no wind… perfect conditions; which Inkie advised we were very fortunate to experience, as these weather conditions only present a couple of times, every few years. We felt very safe and looked after, and spending the day in Inkie’s company made our stay in Iceland extra special - we had travelled for my husbands 40th Birthday, and so this tour/experience really was the icing on the birthday cake…!! Inkie drove us back to our hotel at the end of a very fun-filled, factual and thrilling day, and we cannot be more grateful to him and the Mountaineers of Iceland company, who went above and beyond to make sure we were not let down, and that we experienced the best they had to offer. If you are thinking of booking a Golden Circle and Snowmobile tour with this company, DO IT! You will not be disappointed 🩵 Thank you Inkie and the team. ❄️💫 🏔️ 🫶🏻 Jodie & Craig.

I would highly recommend this company to anyone looking to do anything while they’re in Iceland. The Secret Lagoon was a nice relaxing end after our adrenaline rush.sewies2024-03-26Exception your and team Once in a lifetime experience and exceptional team. Amazing journey up the the glacier and once there the team were super helpful. Half way through my husband went a bit light headed but the 3 guides conjured up a drink and were super helpful, even bringing him an energy bar when we got back to base camp. Snowmobiling was absolute breathtaking.antonio fourie2024-03-12Snowmobiling Absolutely fab. Inky was great, loooved the snowmobile, perhaps a 90 minute version would be great. Exhilarating yet peacefulTamsB282024-03-08Amazing! We done a snowmobiling tour with Mountaineers of Iceland through a Reykjavik Excursions Golden Circle day tour and it was amazing. It was just under an hours ride up to the base camp & back from Gulfoss Visitors center on a very large superjeep bus which was very bumpy and very fun. It was a shame as after around 10 mins in, you couldn't see out of the window due to condensation and what you could vaguely see looked beautiful. Base Camp was amazing. The loud music definitely made for a good atmosphere. We got kitted out with cosy outfits and then were given a run down on how to use the snowmobiles. Not a clue how long the tour lasted but we got to swap halfway so both parties could drive. You can only go as fast as the person at the front, but can easily overtake. I also felt it was easier to go faster and steer on fresh snow (not following the track in front). A few people fell off on our tour which was a little scary to see but lucky all were ok. We thought it was very easy to manoeuver. I even enjoyed being a passenger while my partner was driving. I heard someone say they after that they hated being bounced around- she was easily 60 year old and clearly picked the wrong tour as this was extremely fun and even as a passenger I got a major adrenaline rush. It was an amazing way to spend my 30th Birthday and I would highly recommend if you're into doing something fun.
