We had a very nice time and our tour guide was very friendly. However, the duration of actually doing the snowmobile was very short -less than an hour- and we were stopping all the time for photoshooting which was annoying and quite boring.

Giant jeep drive up to the impressive Vatnajokull--Europe's largest glacier--and fun snowmobile ride. We lucked out and got a sunny day on the glacier, so it was like snowmobiling in the sky above the clouds! Our guide was very knowledgeable about the glacier and about local Icelandic history. I just wish we'd gotten to spend a little more time on the snowmobiles. Also, there is an extra charge if you are a solo rider. I would do this again though.

The scenery was absolutely beautiful. Our guide was amazing allowing us to speed up but also making sure we were following each other on the path. I will definitely recommend doing this activity

It was an insane experience, super fun, incredible views. Extremely cold, make sure your jacket isn’t too puffy and long. The guides were the best, ultra recommended!
