Golden Circle Super Jeep Tour and Snowmobiling
Reykjavik, Iceland
This action-packed all-day trip from Reykjavik allows visitors to get in touch with some of Iceland's most famous and exciting natural phenomena on board a specially designed Icelandic Super Jeep before taking a thrilling snowmobiling ride on Langjökull, Iceland's second largest glacier.
First stop is the Thingvellir National Park, which has a special place in the hearts of Icelanders for its historical importance and geological uniqueness. It was here that Iceland's first Parliament was founded in 930AD and the views from here over Iceland's rough terrain are stunning.
Continue along mountain tracks to experience the many bubbling and spouting hot springs at the geothermal area of Geysir. The geysers explode every few minutes and are an amazing spectacle. Next the jeep heads to the majestic double cascade waterfall of Gullfoss, where you can feel the spray of the glacial water on your face. The highlight of the trip gives you the chance to get even closer to Iceland's nature on an exhilarating snowmobiling tour on Langjökull, Iceland's second largest glacier.
After an action-packed day the jeep passes through the countryside en-route to Reykjavik. A truly memorable trip encompassing many of the natural wonders of this beautiful island.
An absolute cannot miss if you are staying in Iceland. Our guide was the best and this was the funnest part of our trip by far!!

This was AMAZING and definitely THE way to see the Golden Circle!! - I tossed and turned with which experience to book as there were several offering the same sort of thing and after much deliberation i decided to go for this one, and we were not dissapointed!

This was the most fun ever and out tour guide made sure we got to visit with some of the Icelandic horses.

We were the first ones picked up at 9h, and told we were to be six in the jeep, then there was a lot of confusion on the other pick ups, so we finally left with 10 people and Reykjavik with quite some delay - which meant we were running after time the rest of the day - the visits were shorter than hoped for... Thingvellier was in the semi-darkness when we got there. Guide was very kind and helpful, but not very knowledgeable. The snowmobiling was great!

What a fantastic day! The Gulfoss waterfall was spectacular. The snowmobiling was scary but exhilarating - being in the wilderness on top of the second largest glacier was absolutely breathtaking. The snowy scenery was just beautiful. The guides were so hardworking, knowledgeable, safety conscious, fun and friendly. The visit to The National Park and to the geysirs was excellent. A very long day. Wrap up very warm and take brave tablets - it is sooo worth it!

By far the best part of the trip. A must do if visiting iceland
Review by: Annie K, August 2016
Great trip all the way around- The tour guide was excellent knowledgeable, friendly, and eager to please. The sights were well planned for comfort and excitement, even on a cold and rainy day. Snowmobiling on a glacier was definitely a bucket list MUST! Iceland is expensive, but well worth it. _br/_ My only suggestion is to update your booking site so that my situation could be avoided. I booked on a Sunday for a Tuesday excursion. I never received a confirmation. Emails are answered within 24-48 hours and there was no telephone number to call. I finally reached an operator at 8:00am on Tuesday morning who told me that I was not confirmed but she would attempt to help me out- There was a cancellation and we were grateful to have been able to participate. Thanks for an exciting adventure!

This is a must do! Stop looking around and choose this one for the golden circle expeiance. The snowmobiling on the glacier was amazing. Thor our giude and driver was great. Best tour of the week in Iceland. The monster truck was fine and more comfortable then the buses we took.
Review by: Jessica M, June 2016
This was our favorite tour of all the excursions we did! It was so much fun and our tour guide, Oscar, was amazing! So funny and led us to some really cool spots throughout the day. Definitely a must and worth the cost!

Brilliant. Very friendly and experienced driver/guide.
Review by: Zsolt J, July 2013
Very short time at the sights, not enough to enjoy, a big rush._br/_ Helpful guide, great car, professional snowmobile.
Review by: Katherine S, July 2013
A great tour that includes all of the best Golden Circle sights but with added adventure and fun from the snowmobiling. You do need a good level of fitness as the jeep drive is incredibly bumpy and snowmobiling is much harder than it looks! We had a lot of fun!!
Review by: Elaine H, July 2013
Other than the fact that you don't get your own snowmobile, this was a good tour. The sights were wonderful. A great way to experience several places in Iceland in one day especially if you have kids that need to break up some of the sightseeing with some adventure.
Review by: RATESH C, January 2013
I loved this. It was nice and adventurous. The only issue I have is with the snowmobile part of the trip. There were 2 people to a snowmobile. This makes no sense since you pay for your own. Since there were 2 of us , we tried to share the experience. Bring extra pair of socks in case you get wet
Review by: Geoffrey Roger H, January 2013
Absolute highlight of the holiday for me, well organised and great fun too. Make sure to dress warm though
Review by: J E L, January 2013
Excellent. We have been to Iceland 4 times before and visited all the places on this tour many times so maybe we weren't so amazed at some of the sights as the other people on our tour. But the snowmobiling was amazing. Lucky we did the tour in reverse though as wouldn't have been so good arrving later at the snowmobiling equipment hut. Only thing is it was really pointless going in the super jeep as there wasn't enough off roading to make it exciting. We picked up many leaflets of other companies who did off roading combined with the snowmobiling so we would do that if we came again.
Review by: Luke M, December 2012
We had a fantastic day out, the tour guide was excellent and friendly and very informative and no communication problems. The tour itself was just as good beautiful sights and scenery. The snowmobiling was excellent if not a little scary. Would recommend this trip and country to anyone.
Review by: V R, November 2012
We did this on 11/11/12 which was my birthday and had an amazing day! The snowmobiling had to be my favourite. I recommend this tour 110%. Enjoy!
Review by: Sharon T, October 2012
It was great...guide was informative and funny!! Loved all of it....a must for anyone..enjoy
Review by: Karen O, September 2012
Great concept. Unfortunately, our Lead guide did not give proper instruction, check gear, or stick to his own rules of single file and slow. Also, because he had gone so far ahead, he did not respond quicly when my sled flipped and fell on my leg. Resulted in crush injury, compartmental syndrome of foot requiring draining to relieve pressure. If the guide had been nearby and promptly lifted the sled from my foot, the injury would have been minimized. The assistant guide was terrific and responded quickly as he could.
Review by: Traveller, August 2012
I didnt end up going because two tours were very similar. Only difference was the snow thing. This would be a great trip but it also takes in the Gulfoss and Geysir so you dont need both trips.
Review by: Dana C, August 2012
More driving than I thought but I really enjoyed this. The snowmobiling was hilarious and even in the summer when the glacier is slippery and melting, it was still spectacular.
Review by: Kat, June 2012
This tour was the absolute highlight of our trip! The guide was excellent, and we spent plenty of time in each place, before heading on to the snowmobiling. I highly recommend this tour to anyone wanting to see all the best bits of Iceland in a full day trip, and a bit of adventure!
Review by: Jennifer N, October 2011
Really enjoyed our trip, it was amazing and a great way to travel, only disappointment was that we never saw the National Park but we did stand on a volcano instead!
Review by: Peggy R, September 2011
Outstanding day (9am-6pm) packed with very interesting sights and the snowmobiling was extra special due to our guides special passion for the glaciers. Well worth the cost.
Review by: Katrina S, September 2011
Disappointing this time! The guide didn't tell us anything, and even dropped us off to see something , then drove off - we had no idea what time or where we had to meet again! I did the 4x4 adventure a year ago witha friend and it was outstanding, your guide was brilliant! I decided to come back with my husband and after saying how good it was, booked this trip. It was a let down, but I'd do the 4x4 adverture again!
Review by: Charles S. S, August 2011
One of the best tours I've taken. If you have one day in Iceland, this is the tour to take. Not only do you see all the incredible sites but you learn so much (perfect for those Geology geeks out there!) about the science behind what you are viewing but also you learn a lot about the culture/people. You also will not have any more fun than riding a snowmobile on a glacier!!
Review by: Michael G, August 2011
This was an "Excellent plus" tour
Review by: Kirsty G, April 2011
This trip seems expensive but was definitely worth the money. Without the super jeep and snowmobiling I think the Golden Circle tour would've been a little boring, I would recommend going for this one rather than the standard coach trip. Gulfoss waterfall, the Geysers, and Þingvellir were really beautiful places to see, a shame it was raining but that was to be expected in October. The jeep then took us to Langjökull glacier, there wasn't any snow on the ground and it initially didn't look that nice as it is covered in volcanic ash, however once you get going on the snowmobile they take you further onto the glacier and all you can see is ice around you, and it started snowing. Our tour guide was very informative and friendly, he seemed to know a lot about each of the areas we visited. Overall I would say this tour is worth doing, probably the best thing I did during my visit to Iceland.

This was an excellent day out with a guide who cared that you had a good time. Full on fun packed day. Be ready to rock when you go off road they like to get in the spirit of the event by playing heavy metal music. Good fun dont go with anybody else book with these guys. Biggest company in Iceland and booking with Viator was cheaper than direct. The snowmobiling was brilliant. Dont worry about your clothes all is provided for you.
Review by: Christine O, October 2010
Out tour guide/driver was outstanding! He was funny, entertaining and full of information. The snow mobile ride was a blast and the rest of the sites we visited were beautiful. Thanks for a great time! Highly recommend this tour.
