About this activity

Combine Iceland's most iconic landmarks—Þingvellir's tectonic rift, Gullfoss waterfall, and Geysir hot spring—with an adrenaline-pumping snowmobile adventure across Langjökull glacier. This 10-hour expedition delivers both geological wonder and pure thrill in a single day.

Þingvellir National Park is known for its exceptional beauty and historical importance. It's the glorious sight of the ancient Viking parliament and where you can visibly see where two tectonic plates meet.

Gullfoss is Iceland’s most beloved waterfall and Geysir is one of the world’s most powerful spouting hot springs and the one all the other geysers are named after. There’s a reason they call this circuit the Golden Circle.

After seeing Iceland's most popular destinations head up to the Icelandic highlands for an accelerating snowmobile ride on Iceland's second-largest glacier, Langjökull. Shooting across this ice desert on a powerful snowmobile is an experience like nothing else and a trip for the senses.

Add this amazing and unforgettable tour to your agenda. That bucket list won’t check itself off on its own.

our guide Ana really knew their stuff and a stop the guide added on the fly was the highlight ... On a rainy sunday so it wasnt too busy. Perfect for first-timers, and came away with 200+ photos, and 6 stops in about 3 hours. Would book again no question.
