If you book pick-up, your day begins in Reykjavík, where we meet you and drive toward Langjökull Glacier. If you choose to meet on location, you’ll join us at Skjól Campground, only a short distance from Gullfoss Waterfall. From there, we travel together in a Super Jeep into the Icelandic Highlands toward Iceland’s second-largest glacier. On clear days, you’ll enjoy views of Eiríksjökull, Hofsjökull, and the Kerlingafjöll mountain range along the way.
If you add a Northern Lights upgrade:
After returning to Reykjavík from the glacier, you’ll join a guided minibus tour in the evening to chase the aurora. Enjoy warm cocoa, expert guidance, and free photos as you search for Iceland’s night-sky spectacle.
When you arrive at our Langjökull Base Camp, your certified glacier guide outfits you with all the necessary snowmobiling gear (warm overalls, helmet, and balaclava) and gives a clear safety briefing. No prior experience is needed; snowmobiles are easy to handle, and your guide is there to answer any questions before you set off across Iceland’s second-largest glacier.
Your one-hour snowmobile ride takes you deep into the winter wilderness of Langjökull, climbing up to 1,450 meters above sea level! This glacier is known as The White Glacier for a reason — endless fields of bright ice stretch in every direction, creating the feeling of gliding across a glowing Arctic rooftop. The ride is fast, thrilling, and unbelievably scenic, building anticipation as you approach the season’s newly revealed Neptune Ice Cave.
Discovered in October 2025, Neptune cave is already considered one of the most spectacular natural ice caves found on Langjökull in recent years. Inside, you’ll find intensely blue crystal ice with remarkable clarity, streaked with delicate grey ash lines from centuries of volcanic eruptions — a frozen record of Iceland’s past. The cave’s curved “blue river” walls shimmer like polished quartz, making it a dream for photographers and nature lovers alike. You’ll have about 15 minutes to explore and capture the beauty of this rare natural formation.
After your cave visit, your snowmobiles are waiting outside for the return ride across the glacier back to Base Camp. From there, your guide will bring you down from Langjökull and return you to Skjól Campground — or Reykjavík, depending on your booking.
• Each snowmobile is shared by two people. If you’re traveling solo or simply prefer to ride alone, select the Solo Rider upgrade when booking.
• All snowmobile drivers must present a valid driver’s license.
• An additional fee of 10,000 ISK applies for solo riders or odd-numbered bookings.
• If you do not have a valid driver’s license, you can book an extra guide to operate your snowmobile for 65,000 ISK (subject to availability and seasonal pricing). Please contact our Customer Care for assistance.
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.

Yes, we do. Langjökull Ice Cave is a magical experience, the tour has no minimum age and is a wonderful option for the whole family. Whale Watching with our partner company Elding has been a favourite with families traveling with young children, these guys have a great success rate in seeing whales (upwards of 98% in the summertime).
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. Most of our super jeep tours are also suitable for children over the age of 6 years old. If you would like a nice and relaxing experience we would also recommend the Golden Circle & Secret Lagoon tour.

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.
No, full drivers license is required to ride a snowmobile.
