What travellers wrote after their own day on the ice, in their own words, alongside every operator's published rating. Across the listings gathered here the platforms count 3,361 reviews between them. What each fare covers sits with the Langjokull Tours listings.
These are travellers' own accounts of the day they booked. The mixed ones stay in: a three-star that breaks four hours down into fifty minutes of driving, ten of kit and one of riding tells you more about a snowmobile day than a page of praise, and it is the reason the praise is worth reading.

Golden Circle and Langjokull Glacier Snowmobiling Day Trip from Reykjavik
Neither of us had ever been on a snowmobile and neither of us had any trouble with it. The Golden Circle guide was good company and the glacier is run by a separate crew, and the handover was seamless. It is physical, but you do not need to be an athlete.

Golden Circle and Langjokull Glacier Snowmobiling Day Trip from Reykjavik
An easy, relaxing way to see the whole route. We liked the national park and the geysers, but the glacier snowmobiling was the clear favourite — particularly for our nine-year-old, who is still talking about it.

Golden Circle and Langjokull Glacier Snowmobiling Day Trip from Reykjavik
A very full day, and worth saying for anyone packing: you do not need to bring any cold-weather gear at all. They cover you head to toe at the base camp. The hikes, the food and the geysers were all good, and the driver was funny with it.

Golden Circle and Langjokull Glacier Snowmobiling Day Trip from Reykjavik
Our off-road truck got stuck in the snow for a couple of hours. Our guide waited for us the whole time and the snowmobile crew still took us out afterwards. Not the day we booked, but nobody left us stranded and I would go again.

Golden Circle and Langjokull Glacier Snowmobiling Day Trip from Reykjavik
I had already booked a national park day and booked this anyway, because nothing else included the snowmobiling. There was heavy snow that morning and I genuinely thought it would be called off. It ran, and it was the best thing I did in Iceland.

Into the Glacier: Langjokull Glacier Ice Cave from Husafell
The transport chain is worth understanding: about an hour and a half from Reykjavik to the activity centre, a heavy-duty bus to base camp, then a tundra-style truck up to the entrance. I wore a long-sleeved tee, a flannel shirt, an insulated jacket, jeans and sturdy shoes and was fine throughout.
Thomas B. · Couple · August 2025
★★★★★
Into the Glacier: Langjokull Glacier Ice Cave from Husafell
It snowed on us in August at the top of the glacier, which tells you something about the altitude. Huge off-road vehicles, guides who knew their subject, and a genuinely different view of what a glacier is from the inside.
Kurt E. · Couple · August 2025
★★★★★
Into the Glacier: Langjokull Glacier Ice Cave from Husafell
The moment I remember is the guides turning the lights off inside the tunnel and one of them singing an Icelandic lullaby in the dark. Getting up there is an adventure in itself. We would recommend it to anybody.
Gayla D. · Group · April 2025
★★★★★
Into the Glacier: Langjokull Glacier Ice Cave from Husafell
All the gear we needed was provided and we stayed dry. Our guide was knowledgeable and funny, and the length of the tour was about right. One warning: the road up to the glacier is very bumpy, so be ready for that part.
Carol R. · Couple · September 2025
★★★☆☆
Into the Glacier: Langjokull Glacier Ice Cave from Husafell
The cave itself was interesting. Getting to it was not: the transport arrangements were confusing and the base camp was crowded when we arrived. Worth doing, but go in knowing the logistics are the weak part.
Tim M. · Solo · September 2025
★★★★☆
Into the Glacier: Langjokull Glacier Ice Cave from Husafell
Four stars for a small reason: the bus windows were not clean, so I could not see much of what the guide was describing on the way up. The tunnel itself was everything I hoped for and the guiding inside was excellent.
Marietta J. · Couple · October 2024
★★★★★
Gullfoss: Sleipnir Monster Truck Tour of Langjokull Glacier
Three hours forty-five in total, an hour and three quarters of it actually on the glacier. The driver enjoyed himself zig-zagging between the crevasses, the guide had a great deal to say, and the hot chocolate up there was very welcome.
David · Couple · October 2025
★★★★★
Gullfoss: Sleipnir Monster Truck Tour of Langjokull Glacier
You take a transfer bus up into the highlands first, and then the monster truck is waiting, which is a fine thing to see. Driving up the glacier in it and drinking cocoa at the top is not something I will forget. We learned a lot from the guides.
Alina · Friends · June 2026
★★★★★
Gullfoss: Sleipnir Monster Truck Tour of Langjokull Glacier
Walking around and sledging on a glacier was already remarkable, and the guide's stories about the land made it more than that. I would recommend it to anyone going to Iceland.
Devon · Solo · August 2026
★★★★★
Gullfoss: Sleipnir Monster Truck Tour of Langjokull Glacier
The highlight of the whole family's trip, and our youngest was four. Nobody had to ride anything, everyone got out on the ice, and the sledding was the part they talk about.
Rachel · Family · July 2026
★★★★★
Gullfoss: Sleipnir Monster Truck Tour of Langjokull Glacier
A beautiful thing to do and the guides explained it well. My only wish is that we had half an hour longer up there — the sledding and the glacier golf both got cut shorter than we wanted.
Jennifer · Couple · October 2025
★★★★★
Gullfoss: Sleipnir Monster Truck Tour of Langjokull Glacier
Good tour, but the activities on the ice could be better organised. The guides stood about more than they needed to while we worked out what to do with ourselves.
Heike · Couple · August 2026
★★★★★
Glacier Snowmobiling from Reykjavik
White snow meeting white cloud on the horizon, and no line between them anywhere. The softness of the snow and the sharpness of the air are what I remember. I do not have enough words for it.
Ivan N. · Solo · January 2026
★★★★☆
Glacier Snowmobiling from Reykjavik
The weather stopped the snowmobiling and we did not get to ride at all. No fault of the operator — the guide was apologetic, stopped for drinks, kept us informed, and we were given soup and a roll while we waited. Refunded without a fuss.
Ray M. · Couple · January 2026
★★★★★
Glacier Snowmobiling from Reykjavik
There is a lot of travelling in this one, but it is worth it and the guide taught us a great deal on the way. We were lucky with the views. A once-in-a-lifetime thing to do.
Taylor W. · Friends · December 2025
★★★☆☆
Snowmobiling Adventure on Langjokull Glacier from Gullfoss
Honest breakdown of the four hours: meet at Gullfoss, pack into an oversized 4x4 bus, drive fifty minutes, ten minutes getting suited up, ten more of instruction, then single-file riding. Good fun, but go in knowing how much of it is the transfer.
Chris S. · Solo · March 2026
★★★☆☆
Snowmobiling Adventure on Langjokull Glacier from Gullfoss
The transfer to the glacier is an hour and very bumpy, and we had low cloud so we could see very little. Worth noting if you do not travel well. All the clothing is provided so you are warm, but you follow the guide in a row and it is slow.
Bernice P. · Couple · March 2026
★★★★★
Snowmobiling Adventure on Langjokull Glacier from Gullfoss
One of our favourite things in Iceland. If you book for two you share a machine, but you swap over halfway, so you both get a turn to drive and a turn to look around. The glacier feels like a different planet.
Catherine I. · Couple · March 2026
★★★★☆
Snowmobiling Adventure on Langjokull Glacier from Gullfoss
Four stars and one warning. We thought we had bought two places and would ride separately, and had to pay extra on arrival to do that. Check the single-rider rule before you go rather than at the counter.
Fiona W. · Friends · April 2026
★★★★★
Snowmobiling Adventure on Langjokull Glacier from Gullfoss
Free parking at the meeting point and easy to find. All the equipment you need for the weather comes with it. My granddaughter loved the whole hour and the guides were patient with everyone.
Idalia R. · Family · May 2026
★★★★★
From Gullfoss: Langjokull Glacier Snowmobile Tour
The guides took photographs of us at the break while the sun was going down, and would not hear of being thanked for it. Take the latest slot if you can — we caught the sunset and the moon together over the ice.
Evie · Couple · November 2025
★★★★★
From Gullfoss: Langjokull Glacier Snowmobile Tour
Worth the price. Jón drove carefully and even let me sit in the front with him on the way up. I would take the midday slot for the light at the end of it.
Anaëlle · Solo · January 2026
★★★★★
From Gullfoss: Langjokull Glacier Snowmobile Tour
Everything was well organised. You stop at base camp and are given a warm coverall, then an orange jacket and trousers, then the helmet, and the briefing is thorough before anyone starts an engine.
Tyler · Friends · September 2025
★★★★☆
From Gullfoss: Langjokull Glacier Snowmobile Tour
A longer ride on the glacier would have been welcome. The hour goes quickly once you are used to the machine, and I would happily have paid for another thirty minutes.
Melanie · Solo · September 2025
★★★★★
Reykjavik: Langjokull Glacier Snowmobiling with transfer
Easy transfer out of Reykjavik and the machines were new. The whole thing ran to time, which on a glacier day is not nothing.
Blake · Couple · June 2026
★★★★★
Reykjavik: Langjokull Glacier Snowmobiling with transfer
An excellent day riding snowmobiles on a glacier with our children. Jónas and Gabby were both good with them and nobody felt rushed. We had a great deal of fun.
Darren · Family · June 2026
★★★★★
Reykjavik: Langjokull Glacier Snowmobiling with transfer
Timing like clockwork, stunning scenery and guides who clearly enjoy their work. Communication from the operator before the day was the best we had in Iceland.
Alan · Couple · May 2026
★★★★★
Super Jeep Golden Circle & Snowmobile on Glacier from Reykjavik
Iceland in February is not the place to be doing your own driving, so we handed a day over. Picked up at nine, back at five, and Thingvellir, Geysir, Gullfoss and the ride all fitted in without feeling rushed.
Cheryl Y. · Couple · February 2025
★★★★★
Super Jeep Golden Circle & Snowmobile on Glacier from Reykjavik
Sven told us stories the whole way and made the day. If you are debating whether to do the snowmobiling, do it — that was the part everyone talked about afterwards.
Lauren S. · Friends · January 2025
★★★★★
Snowmobiling on Langjokull Glacier and Secret Lagoon Tour
Very well organised from the hotel pickup to the drop-off, and the guide was engaging with everyone rather than just the front seats. The small group made the difference.
Peter H. · Couple · July 2024
★★★★★
Snowmobiling on Langjokull Glacier and Secret Lagoon Tour
The ride to and on the glacier is one of the most remarkable things I have done. The Secret Lagoon was pleasant, but unless you are set on it I would take the Golden Circle version of this day instead.
Kam D. · Friends · June 2024
★★★★★
Snowmobiling on Langjokull Glacier and Secret Lagoon Tour
The off-road driving is an experience in its own right and I would not recommend it if you get travel sick. It was very cold and icy when we went. Good fun all the same, and the lagoon afterwards was the right way round.
Hannah J. · Couple · January 2025
★★★★☆
Golden Circle Glacier Super Jeep Tour / guided private tour
Four stars, and the glacier part is why. The guide and the route were excellent, but conditions meant the jeep could only just get onto the ice before it bogged, and that was the part we had booked for.
Cheryl H. · Couple · June 2023
★★★★★
Golden Circle Glacier Super Jeep Tour / guided private tour
Christian is Icelandic and knows the history and the culture properly, and he is funny with it. A full itinerary along the route and the trip to the glacier was the most memorable part of it.
Brandi D. · Family · August 2025
★★★★★
Golden Circle Glacier Super Jeep Tour / guided private tour
We got to do everything we wanted and more, and the vehicle was comfortable for a long day. One suggestion: a step stool would help older passengers get in.
Julie M. · Group · July 2023
★★★★★
Into the Glacier Combo: Snowmobiling + Langjokull Ice Cave
Our guide was extremely good with the snowmobiles and checked all the way round that nobody was too cold. A good group size, and time built in for photographs.
Kyra W. · Couple · September 2025
★★★★★
Snowmobiling Adventure on Langjokull Glacier from Gullfoss
The equipment they provide does the job and the staff were patient with the less confident riders. The driving is more tiring than you expect over an hour.
Gary S. · Couple · June 2026
It comes up on every tour here. The glacier hour is an hour; the road to it is one to two more each way, and it is rough at the top. Reviewers who knew that in advance describe it as part of the adventure. The ones who did not describe it as a surprise.
Reviewer after reviewer makes the same point for anyone packing: you do not need to bring cold-weather gear, because the operators cover you head to toe at base camp. What people do wish they had brought is better footwear.
Two travellers booked for two, assumed two machines, and paid the supplement at the counter. The rule is the same almost everywhere here: the price is per person and two share a snowmobile, with an upgrade payable on site if any are free.
Low cloud means a whiteout with nothing to see; heavy snow means the ride can be dropped after departure. Travellers who were caught by it describe guides who rearranged the day and refunded the part that did not happen.
