Yet another “best day...

5.00Yet another “best day ever” in Iceland! Definitely more of a snowmobiling experience with a drop of Golden Circle tour, but it was a perfect drop! I was hesitant to book because of the cost, but it was worth every penny! Thanks to Elly & Magnus for being a great guide and driver too!

4.00Did combined tour of Golden Circle plus snowmobile ride. Elly and Magnus did a good job of showing us around - saw a lot of the country. Snowmobile was great not just for the ride but because it took us way up on the glacier and away from some of the more crowded sites like Gullfoss. Snowmobile trip takes nearly four hours, though about one hour of it is actually riding.
Don’t miss out!

5.00We have had a fantastic day on this tour. Ellie and Magnus looked after us during the first part of the tour before we got picked up by Edgar in the Monster Truck and headed to the glacier. It was the right level of informative, bus is very comfortable. Precision timing itinerary so don’t be late for anything! Snow mobiling was an absolute blast - we were lucky because it was the perfect day, blue skies, warm and no wind.
Best day trip ever

Golden circle and snowmobile experience

4.00Such a good day exploring the golden circle and snowmobile, a super fun activity. Our guide Steinunn was very nice and gave us loads of information on the different places we were visiting as well as general Icelandic facts. Our driver Magnus did a great job taking us around all day. The only thing I’d like to point out is that I wish I had a bit more time in each site but I understand we had to be at a certain location for a certain time to meet the snowmobile company. I would also add that we could have stopped at the Kerið crater as we went straight past it, and it would’ve been a nice addition but it wasn’t in the itinerary. The snowmobile was super fun and they provide all the gear and the transfer runs smoothly.
Exhilarating! Fun! Nico was amazing!
