What people are saying about Highlands of Iceland

From beginning to end, the snowmobile tour is a 4 hour activity with 30 minute transit per direction, one hour snowmobiling, and additional time for gearing up. My partner and I had an absolute blast! Neither of us had been snowmobiling before and it was a great first experience. We went on an incredibly foggy day but the glacier and nearby mountains were stunningly beautiful. We didn't do a ton of research going into it but were surprised by how large the group was (~40 people) since we booked the Gulfoss pick-up version, so your experience will vary based on who you follow and where you are in the single file snowmobile line. The guides were attentive and made everyone feel very safe! If you're experienced and want to get a thrill, I would probably book the other version of this tour.

Good guidance. Super cool experience. Our children aged 13 and 10 found it very exciting and fun. From Reykjavik it is a 1.5 hour drive to the point where you get special clothing. Then you have to drive another 45 minutes with a special bus to the glacier . Take a travel tablet if you get car sick easily . Enthusiastic guides and very professional.

Great trip. Snowmobiles were easy to handle and fun to drive. The scenery was amazing and the guides were great. The suits, gloves, helmets, etc all were in good shape and did a good job of keeping us warm.

It was a great experience for all of us. Kind and friendly guides, which were well prepared and helpful. I highly recommend this tour. It was so fun and awesome.

Brilliant staff, friendly and knowledgeable, very well organised. Wonderful experience.
