What to expect
Your adventure begins at Skjól, located on the road between Geysir Geothermal Area and Gullfoss Waterfall, followed by an exhilarating journey to Iceland's second-largest glacier, Langjökull, aboard our super truck, where you'll enjoy breathtaking views of Eiríksjökull Glacier, Hofsjökull Glacier, and the Kerlingafjöll Mountains. Once there, your certified glacier guide will outfit you with all the necessary gear, provide safety instructions, and give you the basics of snowmobile driving before setting off on an awe-inspiring one-hour ride across Langjökull Glacier, reaching heights of 1450 meters above sea level.
As you race across this remarkably white glacier, Langjökull, often called 'The White Glacier,' you'll feel the thrill and anticipation of approaching a natural ice cave, a sight that never disappoints. Inside the cave, you'll encounter a dazzling ice ceiling that resembles a flowing river, set against the backdrop of uniquely striped white ice, formed by layers of volcanic ash. Enjoy exploring and photographing this stunning natural wonder.
Upon exiting the ice cave, your trusty snowmobile awaits to transport you back to our Snowmobile Base Camp. We'll then return you to Skjól, concluding a day filled with the excitement of glacier snowmobiling and the rare beauty of an ice cave, offering you a comprehensive experience of Iceland's magnificent glaciers.
