About this activity
Experience Iceland's glaciers at speed on a high-performance Yamaha Viper snowmobile (1000cc, 140 hp) designed for riders with recreational vehicle experience. This exclusive tour keeps groups separate from standard snowmobile tours, allowing faster pace, greater distance, and authentic glacier riding like seasoned locals.
For the Rush Seeking Traveler!
Mountaineers "SnoMo" trips are suited for those that have some recreational vehicle experience. You will be provided with a powerful Yamaha Viper snowmobile, a three-cylinder 1000cc machine with approximately 140 horsepower. These snowmobiles have more than double the displacement that we offer in our other non SnoMo tours. These performance snowmobiles are single seated mountain machine monsters capable of literally all snowy terrains.
More Private
We do not operate the glacier rush tours with our regular tours and therefore, you will be able to travel faster, further and experience more. Our professional guides will tailor your trip according to weather and terrain and you will experience the glacier-like the locals do on their own performance machines. This tour is the true glacier rush!
Our friendly and fun-loving guides will give you instructions on how to operate the snowmobile and go over the safety procedures before you set off into the winter wonderland. For this tour, we only use our most skillful and professional guides.
Please Note
We cannot accommodate two passengers per snowmobile in these tours since the Yamaha Viper snowmobiles are single-riders only.
Mountaineers can tailor all SnoMo trips to suit your needs and aspirations and can be offered as long-lasting custom tours for 2-4 hours. Please contact us to deliver your heart’s desires.
A direct drive from Reykjavík to Gullfoss takes about 2 hours.
The ride on the monster truck is an adventure of its own, so enjoy the moods of Mountaineers!
