Review of Iceland’s Golden Circle and Langjökull snowmobile tour from Reykjavík, with itinerary details, value advice, and practical tips.
“Such a fun trip, went with my husband and our 2 daughters and we really enjoyed it! I didn’t book the pick up/drop off to hotel but we were last on the coach and the driver and guide Lasma were so kind and dropped us back to the hotel as we were all so tired from having such a great day!”
Review of Iceland’s Golden Circle and Langjökull snowmobile tour, with geysers, Gullfoss, Þingvellir, transport tips, and value advice.
“Amazing experience. Our guide Amelia was fantastic, very informative and made the long journeys more enjoyable. We got picked up from the bus closest to our hotel, the journey was all smooth with no waiting around. Enough time at each stop. Snowmobiling was a once in a life time experience, absolutely fantastic! All equipment and instructions were provided which didn’t take long (I was worried this would be long and boring!). Transport in the big truck to and from the glacier is an hour either way. Definitely recommend taking your own sandwiches/snacks as it’s a long journey and the stops, which all provided food, are quite pricey ☺️Read more”

Ride ATVs across Iceland’s black sands to the DC3 wreck, Dyrhólaey, glacier views, rivers, and mountain valleys for $144.
“Honestly the highlight of my trip! The guide was absolutely incredible and really made the effort with us. We went to the airplane crash site and black sand beach and it was amazing. He had a lot of knowledge and took lots of photos for us. The tour was just myself and my partner and it was actually really nice just being us! The route we took seemed to be more on the challenging side but it was amazing! Moments where I felt slightly nervous the guide was there to help. Highly recommend!”
Review of Langjokull snowmobiling from Gullfoss, with monster truck transport, glacier views, costs, group size, tips, and family advice.
“This was a cool experience. My boyfriend drove the snowmobile and I was a passenger. It was very bumpy and hard to control as you are on ice. The group size is relatively large and you snowmobile on a track in a line. There’s no going off on your own as it would be too dangerous. The views were amazing!”

“We loved it. The places we saw are absolutely stunning, and we couldn't have done it without a guided tour and a big vehicle. Our guide Martin couldn't have done a better job at keeping the tour informative, well paced, organized. He's a real asset to the tour! I'd absolutely recommend it!”

Review of Iceland’s Golden Circle Super Jeep tour with Thingvellir, Geysir, Gullfoss, and one hour of glacier snowmobiling.
“Excellent trip and worth the higher price. The snow mobile experience and vistas were unforgettable. We upgraded to having one each and was worth the every penny. Einar, our knowledgable, entertaining and fantastic guide, made this a 10/10 tour. We covered a lot in the time and although it is an exhausting day, we highly recommend it. Wrap up super warm, especially in December, and expect a more energetic experience than what is described. A certain fitness level should be specified for lots of steep steps at high altitudes and a long walk at the National Park. But, for an all round experience, this was great.”
Review of Iceland’s Langjökull snowmobile and Secret Lagoon tour, with pricing, transport, gear, group size, practical tips, and honest drawbacks.
“This tour is for people that are physically fit and want some adventure. I was 6months out of my 3rd leg surgery and was able to do the main hike, but it was challenging. Also, you have to be ok with like 2 hours worth of off-roading going at fast speeds. There is also a sense of urgency throughout the day. Is all of that totally worth it, if you are up for it? YESSSSSSSS! Such beautiful sights. I saw and felt things I couldn't imagine. Breathtaking nature. Fun adventure. I did also prefer spending all my time hiking and taking photos vs. worrying about the natural bath. If you've…”
Ride a snowmobile across Mýrdalsjökull Glacier near Vik, with glacier views, expert guides, warm gear, and practical tips on value and weather.
“The description indicates the experience is subject to weather. We trusted the tour guides to cancel if weather conditions were not fit. They did not. It was raining and visibility was so low we struggled to see the snowmobile in front of us let alone any scenery or views. The guides did not offer suggestions for gearing up. We were told not to put anything between the helmet and our head which meant rain poured into the suit. We were cold, soaked and miserable. This was a waste of a lot of money. Do not recommend if the weather is bad. Shame on the guides/company for putting profit ahead of…”

“BEST DAY EVER! First we got picked up in a truck with massive wheels which was pretty cool.. then we headed off on our adventures to all the beautiful sights. Then off to the best part of the day SNOWMOBILING! Set off up the glacier in the truck. Got changed at base camp then a 20 minute trip to the top. It was so beautiful up there! We had so much fun. We had a Snowball fight, made snow angels and took lots of pictures! It was an experience that I’ll never forget. Our guide Mr B was FANTASTIC. So friendly and knowledgeable and just a fun guy who was…”
