Take a monster truck up to the Langjökull glacier for panoramic highland vistas, before your one-hour snowmobiling thrill ride on pristine ice and snow. Safety gear and a briefing are included, and no experience is needed to join in the fun. Perfect for adventurous spirits wanting a day of unforgettable Icelandic highlights and excitement!
Langjökull is one of the largest expanses of ice in Europe. On this version of the Silver Circle, you ride across it. After the full Silver Circle route — Deildartunguhver, Reykholt, Hraunfossar, Húsafell — the group transfers to the glacier staging area and ascends Langjökull by monster truck. At altitude, snowmobiles are waiting. One hour on open glacier. Wind, ice, panoramic views across the West Iceland highlands. No prior experience required. A safety briefing and all equipment — helmet, snowmobile suit, goggles — are provided at the staging area. A valid driving licence is required to operate a snowmobile independently. Guests without a licence ride as a passenger behind a licenced driver on a two-person machine.
This tour departs at 08:00 from Reykjavik and returns approximately 19:30. Operates best October through May when snow surface is optimal. Summer bookings (June–August) require advance confirmation with the glacier operator regarding snow conditions.

...i did not get water as ordered.the driver was a very good fellow but nt a guide
Guide was very knowledgeable and friendly.
Excellent! Our guide was wonderful and kept the pace appropriate for my husband who has mobility issues. Although we didn’t see many cats, we learned a lot of interesting things about the city.
