Calling all adventurers - this memorable and thrilling 2-hour Northern Lights snowmobiling tour in the picturesque Mývatn Nature Reserve is an experience not to be missed when travelling to northern Iceland! Welcoming beginners and explorers ages 12 and up.

Located near Mývatn Lake, Northern Iceland's Mývatn Nature Reserve is not only breathtaking but is also a location of geological importance with diverse species of wildlife, including diverse types of birds. In addition, the Mývatn Nature Reserve is celebrated for its unique volcanic formations, craters, geothermal activity, wetlands, and forests.

For those seeking off-the-beaten track adventures in Iceland, this Northern Lights snowmobiling tour in Mývatn is calling your name!

The fun starts after being picked up from one of the listed meeting points (please see 'special terms' and specify when booking) or arriving on-site. Either way, you'll be greeted by your experienced instructor who will provide each participant with thermal overalls, a helmet, and gloves. Next, you and your group (a maximum of 12 snowmobilers) will receive a safety and itinerary briefing followed by an introduction to snowmobiling and snowmobile driving techniques with an emphasis on safety and enjoyment.

Now, the adventure begins! You'll set off in a single file into the snow-covered wilderness of the Mývatn Nature Reserve with the headlights of your snowmobile lighting the way. Throughout the Northern Lights snowmobiling tour in Mývatn, you'll traverse various terrain, such as frozen wetlands and scenic birch forests. As you travel further away from the city lights, you'll experience both a feeling of tranquillity and exhilaration. If luck is on your side, the vibrant colours of the Northern Lights will make an appearance overhead.

The excursion also includes several stops to admire the natural and awe-inspiring phenomenon of the Aurora Borealis and to take photos. Your instructor/guide will share fascinating facts about the region and the Northern Lights before the group returns to the original departure point with lasting memories of this Northern Lights snowmobiling tour in Mývatn!
