Private Golden Circle with Snowmobile Ride from Reykjavik

Experience Iceland’s Golden Circle with a thrilling snowmobile adventure. Visit Thingvellir, Oxarafoss, Bruarfoss, Geysir, and Gullfoss, then ride a glacier for an unforgettable snowmobiling experience.

The Golden Circle is Iceland's most celebrated scenic route – and experiencing it privately means the day moves entirely at your group's pace, with no shared passengers and no other group's schedule to follow.

Your dedicated guide will take you through the UNESCO heritage landscape of Þingvellir National Park, across to the steaming plain of the Geysir Geothermal Area, and on to Gullfoss, where the glacial Hvítá river drops in two powerful tiers into a deep canyon. The Golden Circle covers an extraordinary stretch of Iceland's character in a single day – and doing it privately means the itinerary bends around your group, not the other way around.

The element that sets this tour apart, however, is what follows. From near Gullfoss, the route leads up onto the surface of Langjökull, Iceland's second-largest glacier, for a guided snowmobile ride across the ice. No prior experience is required – the glacier operator provides full snowsuits, helmets, and all safety equipment on-site – and crossing open glacier with nothing but white ice and sky in every direction is a different kind of experience altogether.

A private vehicle, a knowledgeable guide, and a full day built entirely around your group. That is what this tour delivers.

Please note: the entrance fee for the Langjökull Glacier Snowmobile Ride is not included in the initial price but can be added at the checkout page.
