Snowmobiling in Iceland on a Glacier | Arctic Adventures Tour Experience

Snowmobiling in Iceland is one of those experiences that stays with you long after you've left the glacier. This is what it looks like.

Arctic Adventures runs snowmobile tours year-round across Iceland's second-largest glacier, Langjökull in West Iceland, just 103 km (64 miles) from Reykjavík. Each ride follows carefully selected snowmobiling trails mapped by certified local glacier guides who even know where to find a secret ice cave!

No experience needed. All gear is provided: helmet, goggles, and snowsuit. You show up, gear up, and go. Snowmobiling in Iceland is one of the few glacier activities available in every season, which means you can combine it with the Northern Lights in winter, the Midnight Sun in summer, or the Golden Circle route any time of year.

Iceland's glacier snowmobiling trails take you through some of the most remote and untouched terrain on Earth that you simply can't reach on foot or by road. From wide-open ice fields to dramatic ridgelines, every trail will stay in your memory.
