Discover the hidden wonders of Langjökull, Iceland's second-largest glacier, on our Glacier Ice Cave and Snowmobile Tour. This adventure starts at Gullfoss' upper parking lot, where you'll ride in a monster truck to the glacier's edge before switching to snowmobiles for the main event.
As you traverse the frozen expanse, prepare to enter a world beneath the surface few have seen. Inside the Glacier Ice Cave, you will witness the extraordinary sight of ice over 400 years old, beautifully layered with ash from historical volcanic eruptions. This tour isn't just a journey through ice—it's a ride through time.
Our expert guides will lead you deep into the cave, sharing stories and facts about the glacier's vast history and geology. After your subglacial exploration, the adventure continues as you return to the Mountaineers Glacier Hut, hop back on the monster truck, and go through the scenic snowy landscapes to Gullfoss.
