Itinerary

For the Rush Seeking Traveler!

Mountaineers’ SnoMo tours are designed for those with some experience operating recreational vehicles. You’ll be riding a powerful Yamaha Viper snowmobile—a three-cylinder, 1000cc machine delivering approximately 140 horsepower. These high-performance snowmobiles have more than double the engine capacity of those used in our standard tours. Built for mountainous terrain, these single-rider machines are true beasts—capable of tackling all snowy landscapes with ease.

A More Private Adventure

Our Glacier Rush tours are operated separately from our regular snowmobile tours, allowing you to travel faster, go further, and experience more. Our expert guides will tailor the route based on the weather and terrain, giving you a more personal and authentic glacier experience—just like the locals enjoy on their own high-powered machines. This is the ultimate Glacier Rush!

Before the ride begins, our friendly and experienced guides will provide full instructions on operating the snowmobile and review all safety procedures. For this tour, we exclusively use our most skilled and professional guides to ensure an exciting and safe adventure.

Meeting points

The meeting point is at Gullfoss Cafe. A direct drive from Reykjavík to there takes about 2 hours.

Please note

Please note that Yamaha Viper snowmobiles are single rider only, so we cannot accommodate two passengers per vehicle on these tours.
Mountaineers can customize all snowmobile trips to suit your preferences. We offer tailor-made tours lasting 2 to 4 hours—just contact us to make your dream adventure a reality.
A valid driver’s license is required
Tour times may be delayed or canceled due to weather or road conditions.
Dress appropriately for the weather. In Iceland, it’s always wise to wear warm, waterproof clothing, as weather conditions can change rapidly—expect the unexpected.
The ride in the monster truck is an adventure in itself, so sit back and enjoy the unique atmosphere with Mountaineers!
