Snowmobile and Ice Cave Tour – Iceland

Your adventure begins at the Gullfoss upper parking lot, where you will board one of our monster trucks. From there, we take a scenic 40-to-60-minute drive, depending on the season, across rugged terrain to the Mountaineers Glacier Hut to gear up.

Next, we head to the snowmobile area on the Langjökull glacier. After a comprehensive safety briefing, you’ll embark on an unforgettable one-hour excursion combining snowmobiling and a spectacular ice cave visit.

While the glacier is breathtaking from the outside, stepping inside the ice cave is a truly magical experience. Here, you will stand surrounded by ice that is over 400 years old, complete with distinct layers of volcanic ash preserved from historic eruptions. Our expert guides will lead you through, pointing out the cave’s unique features and sharing fascinating insights into the glacier’s history.

After exploring the cave, we will ride back to the glacier hut, hop back into the monster truck, and journey through Iceland’s raw, stunning landscape to return to Gullfoss.

What to bring

  • Bring snacks as this is a 4-hour tour
  • Bring a waterproof jacket and pants, headwear and gloves. Good outdoor shoes are recommended.
  • Dress according to the weather. In Iceland it is always smart to dress in warm, waterproof clothes, weather changes can be sudden so expect the unexpected.

Itinerary

Park your car at Gullfoss Café and prepare to be amazed by the Monster Trucks 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 “Mountaineers experience.”

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.
