Exciting experience! - We really enjoyed this trip. Great equipment provided and good instruction given. Great scenery on location. Bit of a problem with the journey to the glacier as the vehicle had to be rescued from a precarious position but in retrospect this added to the excitement!

Must do tour! - Incredible experience!! Professional service, and a day to remember! Around 4 hour total trip, riding in the monster truck style coach was an experience in itself, a little over an hour each way to and from the base camp. Toilet stop, clothes change, (everything you need is provided, informed of safety information and how to best operate/ride snowmobiles. 25 mins amazing scenery ride to picturesque location to stop for 10 or so minutes to take in the scenery and take photos, switch riders if sharing, then 25 mins ride back to base camp, overall a brilliant, fantastic experience. I heard one lady complain about only getting around an hour on the snowmobile as it’s a 4 hour advertised trip and seen some reviews complaining about the price being to share a snow mobile being misleading thinking they get their own, and having to pay more to have their own, also moaning about having to ride in single formation in speed with other riders. Yes….. and it’s all detailed in the description of the trip, I honestly don’t know what some people expect! The experience isn’t to race others, or to spend hours and hours on a snow mobile going where you like and as fast as you like, if that’s what you’re looking for you’ll have to put your hand in your pocket because that isn’t going to be cheap, but I’m sure this company does offer private tours where you can do similar to that if that’s what you’re after, then this is the company I’d enquire about it with. But for around £150pp/$180 sharing a snow mobile, and a little more to have your own, I believe it to be insane value for the experience you get! The trip up the mountains in the monster truck is insane! The views extraordinary! As for the snow mobile trip itself, it’s breathtaking! The snow mobiles are modern, ride well and everything and more that you could hope for as a trip on the whole. Take in the scenery, appreciate the beauty, it’s an absolute privilege to be able to experience all of this for the price. 100% recommend to do this if you’re in Iceland looking for fun, surreal and exciting activities!

Amazing Experience! - We had so much fun! The guides were so fun, knowledgeable, and truly made the trip. The bus ride was very scenic and about 45min there and 45min back. We spent a lot of quality time (1 hour) on the snowmobiles and got to go into an ice glacier. The suits & helmet were super warm. Amazing experience and totally worth the price.

Recommended for easy fun - It's a fun trip to the glacier and good views of the area from the "bus". Trip is well run and organized. The actual snowmobiling is pretty tame going out on the flats and doing some zig zags.
