This is a combination of two exciting activities in Iceland - the Golden Circle sightseeing tour and a snowmobile ride to Langjökull Glacier from Reykjavík!
Your combo tour departs from Reykjavík, the capital and largest city of Iceland and a gateway to the country's dramatic landscapes, such as volcanoes, glaciers and waterfalls. On this sightseeing tour and snowmobile excursion from Reykjavík, you will visit the iconic Golden Circle and the impressive Langjökull!
The Golden Circle tour from Reykjavík begins at the bus terminal, where you'll be picked up by the experience guide. You'll enjoy a scenic ride on the comfortable bus to the Golden Circle, home to three of the most famous natural attractions in Iceland. The first stop on your Golden Circle tour is at Þingvellir National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. At the park, you'll visit the site of an ancient Viking parliament and witness the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates.
After learning about the geological and historical importance of Þingvellir National Park, you'll continue the tour to Gullfoss, one of Iceland's most spectacular waterfalls. This waterfall comes from the Hvítá River and cascades into a deep canyon. The final stop on the Golden Circle tour is at Geysir Geothermal Area, home to one of the world's most active geysers, Strokkur, which erupts every 5-10 minutes, shooting boiling water up to 30 metres (100 feet) in the air.
After your Golden Circle sightseeing tour, you'll embark on an adventurous snowmobile excursion to Langjökull, the second-largest glacier in Iceland. You'll receive your easy-to-use snowmobile and equipment (overalls and helmet). Each vehicle will be shared between two, with one driver and one passenger. After a quick safety briefing and driving instructions, the snowmobile ride on Langjökull begins!
Following the guide, you'll drive across the icy landscapes of the glacier's surface, experiencing the vast expanse of the ice cap and its surreal beauty. The glacier feeds into the Hvítá River and plays an essential role in Iceland’s water system. After your 1-hour guided snowmobile tour on Langjökull Glacier, you'll return to the starting point. The guide will then drive you back to the bus terminal in Reykjavík.
Don't miss this thrilling winter experience in Iceland, with a glacier snowmobile ride to Langjökull and a guided tour of the Golden Circle from Reykjavík!
