Snowmobiling is one of the most fun ways to explore Iceland during the cold season. One of the places you can enjoy the adventure of riding a snowmobile is around Lake Myvatn. What makes it an even more special experience is a professional guide who is there every step of the way.
Once you arrive at the location, your guide will provide you with the necessary gear, a helmet, and overalls and give instructions on how to operate the vehicle.
The tour will take approximately 2 - 2.5 hours, and the ride will take an hour. During this time, you’ll get to enjoy the icy landscape and black volcanoes covered in snow.
You do not need previous snowmobile driving experience. Your guide will provide easy to follow operating instructions.
However, you do need a valid Driving License if you intend to drive. If there are two of you, only one of you needs to bring a Driving License but if you both bring one, each of you can take a turn at driving.

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.

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.
