Awesome experience - Snowmobiling on the glacier was awesome! The company was well organized and friendly. Our only complaint is that we wished we could have gone a little further on the actual ride because it was a blast!!

Really fun highlight... - Absolutely great experience, a real highlight of our trip to Iceland. A long bus ride from Gulfoss, but very rewarding. All kit supplied, very safe, and a lot of fun. The snowmobiles are kept in good order and the instructions are simple. Led out on new snow, probably 45 mins driving with a stop in the middle to recover your adrenaline levels. We went on a very sunny day which made it even more exhilarating. Would do again in a heartbeat.

Not worth the long trip... - Not worth the long trip for a 45 ride. We had to go slow in a line and then did not get a good view of much anything. Save your time and money.

Definitely not worth it. - People that were unqualified to walk let alone operate a snowmobile ruined the trip. Spent the entire hour waiting for the guides to flip over the people that fell/got hurt we sat idle for roughly 15-20 min. Rode for 10 min and then rode back 10min. or rode behind someone doing 10Km/h. Waste of a day here in iceland. I’m sorry but for <$450 USD. They need to separate the groups. Gave two stars because the guides did a good job. Otherwise I wouldn’t bother going.

A totally unsafe operation - Operation of this place is totally unsafe
They take you on snowmobiles but at least in this time there is too much ice and water this makes the bikes totally unstable
In our group of around 20 motorcycles at least 4 were overturned
Very dangerous luckily no one was seriously injured
No empathy or concern for the accidents
The base manager a bad-faced person just wants your money the rest doesn't matter

Terrible experience and wasted money - Terrible experience with this unethical company, they never advised me and my family about the weather conditions and 0 visibility before leaving this tour in their bus and going to the glacier. Our life was put in risk, saw other snowmobiles crash and turn over. Be advised before buying this tour about weather conditions and visibility. Otherwise you will throw your money and risk your safety and life.
