Best thing in Iceland - We had an amazing experience with the team, and have recommended to everyone we know and will continue to do so! Our guide (Alex) was knowledgeable, funny and extremely professional, perfect for a dangerous activity. The snowmobiles was the best things we did in Iceland, one of the best things we’ve ever done and what a location!!

Incredible location, good guides, good value for money - The location is incredible. After putting on special wind proof suits (worked out great), we got on a super jeep and they drove us some 40 minutes up the mountain. Then we get on the snowmobiles. The winds were really strong that day and temperature was estimated between -15 to -20 according to the guide. Super strong gusts that could knock down a person and even influence the weight on a moving snow mobile. At some points in the tour, we couldn't see the front guide (also a guide in the back). A few guests couldn't avoid falling off the snow mobiles due to the conditions, all ok and unharmed. Still, knowing the conditions in advance, the guides should have provided more information about how to drive more carefully to avoid this (all of us were beginner drivers). Tips like weight balance / shifting when turning, more careful acceleration, keeping straight lines when accelerating, etc would have easily avoided some of these falls. It's the only reason of giving 4 out of 5 stars. The guides were really helpful and nice otherwise, one of them even giving her own gloves to my daughter when she started feeling her hands a bit cold due to the harsh conditions that day (her gloves not good enough for those conditions). A really fun ride through truly spectacular scenery in the mountain and glacier, a great feeling of being on a remote location, very good tour duration. I felt it was good value for the money, despite not being a cheap tour. I had a lot of fun and I'd do it again, keeping fingers crossed for better weather conditions.
