This half-day experience combines a Super Jeep approach with around an hour of snowmobiling across the upper slopes of Eyjafjallajökull, with wide views over South Iceland in good conditions. 🧭 Key Details Duration: Approximately 3 hours Snowmobiling time: Around 1 hour Minimum age (passenger): 6 years Minimum age (driver): 18 years with a full valid driving licence Group size: Up to 20 guests per departure (split into waves if needed) ❄️ What to Expect The experience begins at the main base near the south coast, where you’ll meet your guide and take part in a short safety briefing. You’ll be fitted with a helmet and insulated outerwear before boarding a modified Super Jeep designed for Icelandic highland terrain. The drive up the mountain is an experience in itself, travelling across rough tracks and volcanic landscapes as you climb towards the glacier edge. Once on the glacier, the guide will introduce the snowmobiles and talk you through the controls before setting off across wide snowfields. The terrain here is relatively gentle, making it well suited to beginners, while still offering a real sense of scale as the glacier opens out around you. Riding is unhurried, with time to get comfortable on the machine and to stop for photos when conditions allow. As you move further across the ice, the views stretch out over South Iceland, with coastlines, valleys and volcanic features visible in clear weather. Along the way, your guide shares insight into how glaciers form, how they move, and how this landscape continues to change year by year. The return journey retraces your route back to the glacier base before heading down by Super Jeep to the starting point. 📍 Location The experience takes place on Eyjafjallajökull, one of Iceland’s best-known glaciers, located along the south coast beneath the famous volcano of the same name. This area is characterised by broad ice caps, volcanic ridges and long views towards the Atlantic, offering a clear sense of Iceland’s scale and geology. The main meeting point is Brú Base, located on Road 249, approximately 3 km past Seljalandsfoss waterfall. The base is easily accessible by car and serves as the operational hub for glacier and highland departures in this region. Pick-up and drop-off services are available from nearby towns a… ### Essential information _None._ ### What’s included Guided glacier snowmobiling experience Snowmobile shared between two people Helmet Insulated snow suit Balaclava face mask All required safety equipment ### What’s not included Pick-up and drop-off (available at extra cost) Hiking boots or sturdy outdoor footwear Food and drinks Travel insurance ### Kit list _None._ ## FAQs ### Do I need previous snowmobiling experience? No prior experience is needed. The route and pace are designed for beginners, and the guide will explain all controls before you start riding. You’ll have time to practise in a controlled area on the glacier before moving further across the snow, making this suitable for first-time riders. ### How long do we actually spend snowmobiling? The total duration is around three hours, including transport by Super Jeep and preparation time. Snowmobiling itself usually lasts about one hour. This can vary slightly depending on snow conditions and how far the glacier edge is from the access point on the day. ### What does ‘shared ride’ mean? A shared ride means two people share one snowmobile, taking turns driving if both are eligible drivers. If you are travelling alone or your group has an odd number, one single-ride upgrade is required. This must be booked in advance. ### What licence do I need to drive a snowmobile? Drivers must hold a full, valid car driving licence. Learner permits, tractor licences, and motorcycle licences are not accepted. You will be asked to confirm your licence details before the tour, and may need to show it on the day. ### Is this suitable for children? Children aged 6 and above can join as passengers on a snowmobile, sharing with an adult. Driving is restricted to adults aged 18+ with a valid licence, and all participants must fit safely into the provided safety equipment. ### What should I wear on the day? Warm outdoor clothing, a waterproof jacket and trousers, gloves, and a warm hat are recommended. Sturdy hiking shoes are essential. All specialist outer layers and helmets are provided, but good footwear is important for comfort and safety. ### Is pick-up available? Pick-up and drop-off can be arranged from selected locations including Hvolsvöllur, Hella, Selfoss, Vík, and Reykjavík for an additional fee. Pick-ups start earlier than the tour departure time and must be booked in advance. This service is not included in the base price. ### How difficult is the ride? This experience is rated Easy. The glacier terrain used is relatively gentle, and speeds are controlled throughout the ride. You should be able to sit comfortably on a snowmobile and follow instructions, but no technical riding skills are required. ### What happens if the weather is poor? Weather and visibility play a key role in glacier travel. If conditions are unsafe, the tour may be adjusted, rescheduled, or cancelled. In such cases, you’ll be informed as early as possible and offered an alternative where available. ## Media - **Primary image URL (resolved in app; may be absolute)**: https://adventuro.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/Screenshot-2026-01-28-at-07.38.07.png - **Gallery image count**: 13 ## Limitations - Availability, exact session times, and final price may depend on the live booking flow. - This Markdown is generated from the same catalog fields as the public HTML page at the canonical URL above.
