5.00Snowmobiling was the highlight of this tour but also great to see all the stops on the golden circle. Monika, the guide, was very friendly and knowledgeable and gave clear instructions for each stop of the excursion. Radnor was a great driver too. It’s an expensive trip but definitely worth it.
Highly recommend this trip

5.00This was an amazing experience. Everything from walking in between 2 tectonic plats, to watching the geyser “bubble up” and explode, to snowmobiling on a glacier! I mean how could you find anything wrong with or bad about this tour?! It is a MUST!
Wonderful day trip from Reykjavik!

5.00What a magical experience ✨ coach pick up was so easy (and heated), the whole day ran incredibly smoothly. Our tour guide, Leifur was absolutely amazing, so knowledgeable and funny, he even sang us an Icelandic song 🎶 Our driver, Blazej was lovely too, he kept our bags safe for us when we went onto the monster truck and made sure we got home to our closest bus stop. I would 1000% recommend this tour, it was an absolutely bucket list moment, the golden circle was fantastic but the snowmobiles are what really made this experience. Thank you to everyone involved for the most incredible day ✨🤍

5.00If you’re visiting Iceland, the Golden Circle tour is a must. But let me tell you, the snowmobile adventure is just as breathtaking as the entire trip! If you love adventure, this is an unforgettable experience. Just make sure to dress warmly, riding through the snow gets extremely cold.

5.00My husband and I loved it. While some stops can feel a little brief we were able to experience many different locations. The highlight obviously being the snowmobiles which was a brilliant way to cruise across a glacier with many photo opportunities encouraged.
Incredible. Recomend 10000%

5.00Our experience was amazing. Our guides Leifur and Blazej just made everything so good. Something we were very impressed is about the incredible organization the team had to match so different activities with the perfect timing, including a great time telling us different islandic culture fun facts. The precision with timing is also the whole team was amazing at. The snowmobiling experience was perfect. We didn’t had to wait anything. The equipment and staff were ready to receive us and we made an 1 hour snowmobiling tour with no problems and great assistance from the guides (there were three) to ensure the safety of everyone and also the dinamic of the activity considering that there were 20 couples in the activity.
