An exciting adventure on the World-Famous Eyjafjallajokull Volcano Glacier - An experience of a lifetime!
The vast Eyjafjallajokull ice cap hides a notorious secret beneath its icy depths: a massive volcano that captured the attention of the world when it erupted in 2010 and downed the majority of Europe’s air fleet. Since then it has become a popular tourist destination for adventure seekers who want an exhilarating experience that exemplifies the land of fire and ice.

'Shared ride' means two people on one snowmobile. If you booking a shared ride for 2 people you need to book 2 seats for one snowmobile. If you book ‘shared rides’ and bookings are in odd numbers (e.g. 3), you will need to buy at least one single ride, be sure to book this correctly in the booking process below.
Our adventure begins when we all meet at our base camp close to the legendary Eyjafjallajokull Glacier (there's an option to order a pick-up and drop-off for an additional fee). There, one of our friendly certified tour guides will provide you with all the equipment that you need and give you a short safety briefing. Then it’s time to ride a specially designed super jeep to the starting point of your snowmobile ride.
Once there, we’ll climb onto snowmobiles for a heart-pumping experience of Iceland at its absolute best. As soon as we get onto the glacier, prepare to be struck by its size: a pristine expanse of snow dotted with rock formations and majestic ice sculptures.
As we push deeper into this icy wilderness, we’ll start to see some of the most impressive views over South Iceland. It is an enthralling experience with vast snowfields, towering mountains, and more majestic landmarks.
Glide across the powdery snow with ease. Your friendly guide will teach you all about glaciers and the myths that define them.
This tour is ideal for adventure seekers, looking for heart-pounding fun on a legitimate natural wonder. We guarantee that you will want to bring your camera and immortalize the many incredible things that you are seeing and will treasure the memories that you create for the rest of your life. So, come and snowmobile with us on the very definition of the land of fire and ice.
Meet on Location information: Meet us at Brú base camp on Road 249.
Pick-up information: for an additional fee, you can order pick-up and drop-off from Selfoss / Vík, or Hella / Hvolsvöllur. Please add it as an extra after you add the product to your cart.
Please note
Meet on location means travelling to the location of the tour yourself and then meeting our tour guides rather than being picked up and taken to the location.
This is a great question. We ask all participants to be ready from the start of the pickup time indicated. This is because you may well be the first pick up of the day. Please be at your assigned location at the start time that you chose when booking the tour.
Here you should wait for your guide.
Have your email and phone number listed with us so we can contact you if we run into any trouble finding you.

Another option would be the Landmannalaugar Safari on this tour you get to explore parts of the Icelandic highlands and bathe in natural hot springs.

We’ve partnered with the Kolviður Fund in a new carbon offsetting program, which passengers can select to participate in at the time of booking.
The Kolviður Fund is the oldest, most respected carbon offsetting program in Iceland. With your support, one tree will be planted in special Kolviður forests in Iceland to carbon offset your tour with us.
Kolviður forests are strategically planted to absorb the maximum amount of CO2 and the forests are protected for a minimum of 60 years. During their lifetime the trees absorb carbon and store it in their root system, trunk, and branches. Trees also prevent soil erosion and maintain storage of carbon in the soil.
