SPECIAL EVENT - Summer Solstice Tour to Langjökull Glacier from Gullfoss

SPECIAL EVENT – Summer Solstice Tour to Langjökull Glacier from Gullfoss

Don’t miss out on this once in a lifetime experience where we embark aboard Monster Sleipnir Trucks to experience the midnight sun on top of Langjökull, Europe's second-largest glacier. Departs at 19:30 / 7:30PM from Gullfoss.

There are no dark nights in summer, and on 21 June the day is 21 hours and 8 minutes long, and still: civil twilight for the rest of the night! That means the sun just shortly hovers below the horizon during “nighttime”!

Why not use this special day and have a late evening drive on top of a glacier?

We will stop at a scenic spot on the glacier with stunning views. Here you can enjoy at our Glacier pop-up Cafe – hot cocoa, coffee or tea, and Kleinur (an Icelandic pastry).

Our knowledgeable and local guides will lead you through this stunning natural wonder. Listen to interesting facts about glaciers, hear authentic stories of the Icelandic Highlands, and dive into the fascinating world of Nordic Mythology.

For thrill-seekers, don't miss the chance to sled down the slopes or update your social media profile with a picture playing golf on a glacier.
