Description

Get ready for an exhilarating adventure through Iceland’s winter wilderness on this five-hour snowmobiling tour on the Eyjafjallajokull glacier. This exclusive day tour in Iceland offers a thrilling way to explore the Highlands, complete with a single-rider snowmobile, safety gear, and an expert English-speaking guide.

Your snowmobile experience in Iceland begins at the Bru base camp in South Iceland, easily accessible on Road 249. Other pick-up points, including Reykjavik, Hvolsvollur, and other nearby towns, can also be arranged for a small fee upon request.

At the meeting point, your experienced and certified guide awaits. They will outfit you with all the necessary safety equipment, including an insulated coverall, balaclava mask, and helmet. 

After a quick briefing on how to operate your snowmobile, your guide will share tips on navigating the glacier’s challenging terrain. Whether you are a first-timer or a seasoned rider, you’ll feel confident and ready to tackle the snowy trails.

What sets this tour apart is that it’s not just a follow-the-leader ride—it’s an immersive experience. Your guide will carefully select routes based on the day’s weather and snow conditions, ensuring you get the best views and the most exciting ride. 

Expect to carve through deep powder, glide over frozen plains, and zip across untouched snowfields with the towering peaks of Eyjafjallajokull all around you.

Snowmobiling on Eyjafjallajokull, one of Iceland’s most famous glaciers, offers more than just an adrenaline rush. This glacier-capped volcano made headlines during its 2010 eruption, and you’ll ride over landscapes that were reshaped by that powerful event. 

The open expanses of the Highlands and Eyjafjallajokull offer a thrilling sense of freedom, with only the sound of your engine and the crunch of snow beneath you. Unlike sightseeing tours, snowmobiling connects you directly to the raw elements of Iceland’s wilderness, making every turn, every drift, and every snowy stretch a true adventure.

Throughout the tour, your guide will share insights about the glacier’s geology, its volcanic history, and its importance to Iceland’s ecosystem. You’ll also have opportunities to stop for photos and enjoy the stunning natural scenery, from snow-sculpted ridges to icy plateaus.

On a clear day, you may glimpse the Westman Islands, the black sand beaches of the coastline, and neighboring glaciers like Myrdalsjokull as you pause to admire the 360-degree views of the South Coast.

As your snowmobiling adventure comes to an end, you’ll return to the base with unforgettable memories and the satisfaction of having conquered one of Iceland’s most legendary glaciers.
