Itinerary and highlights

The tour starts with a pickup in a modified super jeep at your selected pickup location. Your guide will welcome you and go over the day schedule before we make our way to Þingvellir national park which will be the first stop of the day.

From Þingvellir we will head to the world renowned geothermal area around Geysir hot spring where you can witness gurgling bubbling water bursting up to 25 meter high. There area is covered in numerous hot springs but the main one now is Strokkur which bursts every 4 to 10 minutes.

Next we head to Gullfoss Waterfall which is also know as "the Golden waterfall". Gullfoss is a great sight and a perfect photo spot with water rushing down three steps of lava layers exhibiting breathtaking power and grandeur.

Upon arrival at our glacier base camp, we’ll gear you up with all the essentials for snowmobiling – from snowmobile suits and gloves to balaclavas and helmets. Our expert guide will provide thorough instructions, ensuring you’re ready to conquer the glacier before heading out on a one hour snowmobile tour with two persons sharing a snowmobile. During the ride we will make a halfway stop where you can swap drivers so both participants have the chance to drive if the want to.

After the snowmobile trip we will start our scenic drive back to Reykjavík.

The first stop of the day is the UNESCO listed Þingvellir National Park. There you will learn about Alþingi, one of the world's oldest parliaments which was founded in the year 930 AD. This is also where you can see the American and Eurasian tectonic plates and how they have been pulled apart resulting in a rift valley which is clearly visible.
