Start the day from Reykjavík and head out for an unforgettable mix of snow and steam. This 10-hour adventure takes you across Langjökull Glacier on snowmobiles and ends with a relaxing dip in the natural hot waters of the Secret Lagoon. Guests receive all necessary gear, making it an ideal day for families or first-time riders.
The day begins with a pick-up in Reykjavík, followed by a scenic drive on the Ring Road towards the South Coast. Shortly before Selfoss, the route turns into the Icelandic Highlands, offering views of volcanic landscapes, lava fields, and, if lucky, the iconic Geysir spouting geothermal water into the sky.
Next, you reach the outskirts of Langjökull Glacier, where guides help you suit up with snowmobile gear and give a brief safety session. Riders then enjoy about an hour exploring the glacier, navigating icy trails and open expanses while taking in panoramic views of crevasses, surrounding peaks, and highland plains.
After the snowmobile adventure, the tour heads towards Flúðir for a well-earned soak in the Secret Lagoon. This natural geothermal pool is set in a serene environment where steam rises around you and the warm water feels amazing after a cold morning on the glacier. Once relaxed, the journey returns to Reykjavík, passing through the South Coast scenery once again.
The tour departs from downtown Reykjavík, with pick-ups from hotels or marked bus stops across the city. Guests are collected roughly 30 minutes before departure to ensure everyone is ready for the day ahead.
Langjökull Glacier, Europe’s second-largest ice cap, stretches over 953 km² with ice up to 580 metres thick. Its vast, remote highlands are otherwise inaccessible, giving riders a chance to experience Iceland’s glacial interior safely on snowmobiles. The Secret Lagoon in Flúðir offers a contrasting experience, with geothermal waters in a natural setting perfect for unwinding after the high-energy glacier ride.
Riders must be at least 6 years old, and anyone driving a snowmobile must be 18 with a valid driver’s licence. Each adult in the group must also hold a licence to meet safety standards.
