Snowmobiling · Reykjavik
How to choose
Snowmobiling tours around Reykjavik take you across Langjökull Glacier, with prices starting from 190 € up to 1,443 €. Total outing durations range from 4h to 11h. Note that the 4h tour departs from Geysir rather than the capital itself. If you prefer an outing rated “Everybody welcome”, five tours fit this category, costing between 245 € and 392 € for durations between 8h and 10h. For an “Occasionally sporty” level, one 9-hour excursion is available at 362 €. Several programmes combine snowmobiling with other activities: two outings include an ice cave visit from 311 € to 362 €, while another adds hot springs. Two private excursions range between 826 € and 1,443 € for 10h to 11h. Choose the 4h departure from Geysir to focus solely on the glacier, or pick an 8h to 10h tour from Reykjavik to combine glacier riding with Golden Circle sights.
