Snowmobile and Ice Cave Tour – Iceland

Your next adventure in Iceland begins at the upper parking lot of Gullfoss, where you’ll board one of our monster trucks. After approximately an hour’s drive, we’ll reach the snowmobiles, where you’ll receive a full briefing before the snowmobiling activity begins.

While we are familiar with the glacier, it’s truly an extraordinary experience to venture inside this stunning ice structure. The ice in the Glacier Ice Cave we visit during this tour is over 400 years old, and you’ll be able to see layers of ash from various eruptions throughout history.

The trip to the Glacier Ice Cave is not only a thrilling snowmobile ride but also an exciting exploration of the ice cave itself. Once we arrive, we’ll explore every corner and detail of the cave, and our guides will share fascinating information about the glacier and its rich history.

Afterward, we’ll return to the Mountaineers Glacier Hut, hop back on the monster truck, and make our way back through the snowy terrain to Gullfoss.

We provide the following equipment during your snowmobile tour.

Itinerary

Park your car at Gullfoss Café and prepare to be amazed by the Monster Trucks and Super Jeeps from Mountaineers of Iceland that await your arrival. Our driver will greet you at the meeting point sign, and from there, we’ll begin our journey to the glacial highlands of Iceland, driving from Gullfoss to Langjökull glacier.

The stunning scenery along the way, combined with the rugged terrain that our massive vehicles effortlessly conquer, is an adventure in itself. Once we reach the glacier, we’ll step out of the monster truck and into our glacier hut, where you’ll receive snowsuits and other gear to keep you warm during the snowmobile ride.

After getting suited up, we’ll head to the rows of parked snowmobiles, where our guide will explain how to operate them. Don’t worry, it’s easy! Once the brief introduction is complete, you’ll choose your snowmobile, and when the guide signals, your ride will begin.

As you ride across the glacier, you’ll be immersed in the epic surroundings of lava-formed rock mountains. While clear skies offer incredible views, a total whiteout is always a possibility, and that’s part of the excitement, capturing what we call the true “moods of Mountaineers.”

The ride will take you to our newly constructed Glacier Ice Cave, built by Mountaineers for you to explore inside the glacier.

After fully exploring the cave, we’ll head back to our Basecamp on the snowmobiles, and then begin our journey back down to Gullfoss.
