Golden Circle & Snowmobiling combines Iceland’s classic Golden Circle with an adventure on Langjökull, Iceland’s second-largest glacier. Explore Þingvellir National Park, the Geysir geothermal area and Gullfoss before leaving the main sightseeing route and heading toward the glacier.
At Langjökull, professional glacier guides provide the equipment and instructions before you set out across the ice cap by snowmobile. The tour combines the history, geology, geothermal activity, and waterfalls of the Golden Circle with the chance to travel across one of Iceland’s largest glaciers. The Golden Circle sightseeing and transportation are private with your own guide and vehicle; the snowmobile activity on the glacier itself is operated as a shared group activity alongside other guests, led by professional glacier guides.
