Description

Whiz across snowy landscapes and experience the thrill of a lifetime by booking a spot on this small-group snowmobiling tour in North Iceland. Perfect for thrill-seekers and nature lovers alike, this two-hour adventure takes you to the breathtaking mountains surrounding the Eyjafjordur fjord and Akureyri. 

Your tour begins in Akureyri, the charming capital of North Iceland. The town and the tour operator’s base are easily accessible, as they are along the Ring Road.

Here, you’ll meet your experienced guide, who will introduce you to the basics of operating a snowmobile. Whether driving or riding as a passenger, the ride promises unforgettable views and a rush of excitement.

This adventure is open to all skill levels, and even beginners will feel confident with the guidance of an experienced instructor. However, the experience is rated moderate, so some effort may be expected.

This snowmobiling tour includes all the necessary equipment to keep you safe and comfortable. You’ll be provided with a two-person snowmobile, a sturdy helmet, warm gloves, and insulated coveralls to protect you from the chill of the Arctic air. 

The vehicles are well-maintained and easy to handle, making this a fun and accessible activity for everyone.

If you’re driving, a valid driver’s license is required, but non-drivers can still join as passengers. With this flexible setup, the whole group can enjoy the adventure together.

Your snowmobiling destination is the winter park or the surrounding peaks of Akureyri. 

As you ascend the snow-covered mountains, you’ll be rewarded with panoramic views of Eyjafjordur, Iceland’s longest fjord, framed by the majestic peaks of the Troll Peninsula. 

The unspoiled beauty of the landscape, with its endless stretches of white snow and dramatic vistas, is nothing short of awe-inspiring.

Your guide will lead you to the best viewpoints, where you can pause to soak in the scenery, capture stunning photographs, and marvel at the stillness of Iceland’s winter wonderland.

With the guide and the rest of the group, you’ll zigzag and speed more through the snow plains and dunes of the mountains. However, please note that the level of snow cover layers depends on weather conditions.

The entire trip takes roughly two hours. After this, you can independently explore Akureyri and the rest of North Iceland.

Dressing appropriately for a snowmobiling adventure in North Iceland is essential. Wear warm, layered clothing to adjust to changing temperatures, and don’t forget a windproof and waterproof outer layer to protect you from snow and wind. 

Sturdy boots, a hat, and a scarf are also recommended to keep you cozy throughout the ride.

Book your adventure today and prepare for an unforgettable journey into Iceland’s snowy wilderness. Check availability now by choosing a date.
