After a short break, we’ll drive to Langjökull Glacier (“the long glacier”), the second-largest glacier in Iceland, where our snowmobile adventure takes place.
Once we arrive at our basecamp, the guide will introduce you to all the equipment you’ll use. You don’t need any prior snowmobiling experience. You’ll need a driver’s license if you intend on driving the snowmobile. The guide will show you how to operate the snowmobile. After a short safety briefing, you’ll be ready to roll!
Snowmobiling is a thrilling experience. You’ll drive on glowing white snow that endlessly stretches out in front of you. Langjokull Glacier is ever-changing, with deep moulins, craggy crevasses, and mesmerizing ice falls that shape the landscape. You’ll spend around 40 minutes riding across the top of the ice cap before we explore the heart of the glacier.
Man-Made Ice Tunnel

Experienced geophysicists and engineers got together to build this state-of-the-art cave. The tunnel features pristine blue ice and reveals the most complex ice structures created by nature.
You’ll wander around the ice cave for about one hour. Take your time to explore the inside of the second-largest glacier in Iceland!
