We do not operate the glacier rush tours with our regular tours and therefore, you will be able to travel faster, further and experience more. Our professional guides will tailor your trip according to weather and terrain and you will experience the glacier-like the locals do on their own performance machines.
Our friendly and fun-loving guides will give you instructions on how to operate the snowmobile and go over the safety procedures before you set off into the winter wonderland.

The Glacier Rush private tour with Mountaineers of Iceland was hands down one of the most incredible experiences I’ve ever had. If you’re looking for an adrenaline-packed ride across one of the most breathtaking landscapes in the world, this is it. From the moment we arrived, everything was top-notch. The guides were professional, friendly, and made sure we were fully geared up for the ride. The snowmobiles were powerful and fast, and having the private tour meant we could really open up the throttle and enjoy the ride at our own pace. Flying over the endless ice fields of Langjökull was an unreal experience—the feeling of freedom, the crisp mountain air, and the insane views all around made this worth every penny. The private tour made it even better because we had more time on the glacier, fewer people around, and a truly personalized adventure. If you’re debating whether to go for the Glacier Rush private tour, do it. It’s 100% worth it for the extra time, the thrill of going full speed, and the exclusivity of having the glacier almost to yourself. Easily one of the best things to do in Iceland! 🚀❄️🔥

This glacier rush snowmobile trip was absolutely incredible! We rode for two hours across the glacier in perfect weather, and the guides were fantastic. They gave us the freedom to ride our own lines and go fast while ensuring safety at all times. When we had issues, they were quick to help. At one point, a snowmobile broke down, but they fixed it impressively fast. Unfortunately, we had a bit of bad luck—three out of five snowmobiles had an engine belt or wheel issue, cutting our trip slightly short. Despite this, the overall experience was top-notch. The guides were professional, fun, and skilled, making the trip unforgettable. Every cent was worth it! Highly recommend.

We had a total white out but even that didn’t stop us from picking up sooooo much speed! Could only just make out guide in front as visibility was so bad but he had his satnav and so we just made the most of it! Best experience I’ve ever had from riding quad bikes, motorbikes and other adrenaline activities. Was insane then as the clouds started to clear the views were immense!!! Odin was our guide and he was awesome!!! Best trip ever and so glad we paid the extra! well worth it!
