1. From Reykjavik: Golden Circle and Glacier Snowmobile Tour

⭐RATING: 4.6 out of 5 Stars (570+ reviews) | ⌛ TOUR LENGTH: 11 hours |❄SNOWMOBILE RIDE: 1.5-2 hours | 🇮🇸 BOOK NOW

The number one best Iceland snowmobile tour is the From Reykjavik: Golden Circle and Glacier Snowmobile Tour which has nearly 600 reviews!

When taking a tour myself, I always like to go with the tried and tested option. This applies to any tour- not just Iceland snowmobile tours. That’s why I personally opted for Golden Circle and Glacier Snowmobile Tour. With 600 reviews, it’s more than passed the test of time.

To quote the above review, it’s guaranteed to be one of the best experiences of your life. It would be impossible to visit Iceland without taking a Golden Circle tour.

The Golden Circle is an infamous circular route which takes you from Reykjavik to Central Iceland and back, stopping at some of Iceland’s best attractions along the way.

By booking this tour, you get to combine that incredible tour with snowmobiling. It’s almost too good to be true! But I promise you, it is true, and it is amazing.

As part of the Golden Circle route, you stop at Thingvellir National Park, Geysir and Gullfoss Waterfall. All of these are without a doubt, definite Iceland “must-dos”.

And then after the Golden Circle, you head to Langjökull Glacier where you have the most amazing 1.5-2 hours of your Icelandic trip. Snowmobiling across the glacier is hard to find the words to describe.

Words can’t do it justice and there’s no better tour than the Golden Circle and Glacier Snowmobile Tour. The only negative thing I have to say about this tour is that it advertises 3.5 hours of snowmobiling when in reality it’s more like 1.5-2 hours. BUT, that still makes it the best tour on this list, all of the others offer less time actually snowmobiling.

One other thing to note: you need a valid driver’s license to be allowed to drive a snowmobile. And it’s 2 people per snowmobile. This information applies to all the tours in this post.

All in all, I can’t recommend this tour enough. It’s a true adventure. Exploring Iceland’s phenomenal natural beauty and then experiencing the thrill of riding a snowmobile over the glacier- wow.

Sound good? More than good, if you ask me. Be sure to book the Golden Circle and Glacier Snowmobile Tour as it’s the most popular Iceland snowmobile tour and does book out in advance.

2. From Reykjavik: Hot Spring and Snowmobile Tour

⭐RATING: 4.8 out of 5 Stars (70+ reviews) | ⌛ TOUR LENGTH: 10 hours |
❄SNOWMOBILE RIDE: 1.5-2 hours | 🇮🇸 BOOK NOW

For the perfect juxtaposition, book the From Reykjavik: Hot Spring and Snowmobile Tour. It’s also really highly rated with an average review of 4.8/5 stars.

The Hot Spring and Snowmobile Tour offers exactly what it says on the tin. Snowmobiling, and then a dip in a hot spring.

Like all of these Iceland snowmobile tours, it begins in Reykjavik. It’s quite a long drive to get to the glacier, so to break it up, there’s a short bus tour of the Geysir Hot Spring area (one of the Golden Circle stops). Pretty cool to see, and helps make the long journey more exciting.

Trust me though, even though the journey is long, it’s worth it. You get 1.5-2 hours of snowmobiling time on Langjökull Glacier in a guided group snowmobile expedition.

You’ll feel like a true explorer, true adventurer as you take in the extraordinary beauty of the glacier’s beauty. It’s genuinely 360º of stunning panoramic views.

After spending up to 2 hours snowmobiling, you get to warm up and relax in the Secret Lagoon. It’s basically a natural outdoor geothermal spa similar to the Blue Lagoon, but much less touristy.

Warming up and a gentle swim is the perfect thing to do after spending 2 hours in the cold – albeit you are given the appropriate outfit to keep you warm – but it still gets chilly.

The Secret Lagoon is worth visiting on its own. It’s one of Iceland’s oldest geothermal spas, made in 1891. And as I said, it’s the perfect thing to do after snowmobiling.

Hot Spring and Snowmobile Tour provides a combination of activities which are hard to beat, and it makes for the perfect day out.

3. Reykjavik: Iceland South Coast & Glacier Snowmobile Tour

⭐RATING: 4.4 out of 5 Stars (30+ reviews) | ⌛ TOUR LENGTH: 10 hours |
❄SNOWMOBILE RIDE: 1 hour | 🇮🇸 BOOK NOW

Another really popular tour to take in Iceland is to the South Coast, and Reykjavik: Iceland South Coast & Glacier Snowmobile Tour takes you on an extraordinary southern Iceland adventure, and of course, includes a snowmobile ride too.

Iceland South Coast & Glacier Snowmobile Tour has a pretty similar concept to the Golden Circle tour- it’s one of Iceland’s traditional routes topped off with a snowmobile excursion.

As part of the South Coast route, you stop at Skógafoss Waterfall and Seljalandsfoss Waterfall, as well as drive past many iconic landscapes with views better than you will have ever seen before.

If you’re wondering, Skógafoss is probably the most famous waterfall in Iceland, and Seljalandsfoss is the waterfall which you are able to walk behind. Two amazing stops if you ask me.

Exploring the South of Iceland is like stepping onto another planet. The geology and terrain in that part of the country are unexplainable (unless you’re a geographer…).

But the main attraction is, of course, the snowmobiling. You get an hour on the snowmobile on Mýrdalsjökull– a different glacier to the two previous tours.

The views from the top of Mýrdalsjökull are to die for. You can see for miles upon miles of ice, snow and snowy mountains. It’s like looking at a postcard but in real life.

Just like the other tours, it’s a guided group tour so you don’t have much independence, but it’s still amazing just to get the thrill of riding a snowmobile. And it’s perfect for anyone whether you’ve ridden a snowmobile before or not. Anyone can take part!

You can’t go wrong with booking the Iceland South Coast & Glacier Snowmobile Tour. Taking a Southern Iceland tour is amazing, taking a snowmobile tour is amazing and combining them both is simply unreal.

4. Snowmobile and Ice Cave Tour with Transfer from Reykjavik

⭐RATING: 4.5 out of 5 Stars | ⌛ TOUR LENGTH: 7 hours |
❄SNOWMOBILE RIDE: 1 hour | 🇮🇸 BOOK NOW

A really unique Iceland snowmobile tour option is the Snowmobile and Ice Cave Tour with Transfer from Reykjavik. It’s also the shortest tour length, good to know if you are tight for time.

Snowmobile and Ice Cave Tour offers a one-hour snowmobile experience on Langjökull Glacier where you’ll be met with snow and ice for as far as the eye can see. It’s never-ending.

And you have one full hour of exploring it on a snowmobile. To quote the tour company, it’s an “exhilarating way to soak up the scenery of this beautiful island”. And that could not be more true.

It’s amazing.

And on top of snowmobiling, you also get to go into the Ice Cave which is a man-made tunnel which goes into the glacier. How cool is that?!

Imagine snowmobiling over a glacier, and then walking down into it. It’s indescribable. The epitome of a “once-in-a-lifetime experience”.

It’s a unique offer which suits those who have already taken Golden Circle tours and don’t want to take another one just to snowmobile.

If you want, you can even take an Iceland ice climbing tour to this glacier and have another unique but thrilling experience.

The only downside of this tour is it’s one of the more expensive Iceland snowmobile tour options. Still, for what it offers though, I would consider it worth it, and money well spent.

As the saying goes, “Money returns, but the opportunity might not”. How many times will you have the chance to go snowmobiling in Iceland?

To snowmobile on a glacier and then get inside the glacier itself, book the Snowmobile and Ice Cave Tour.

5. Snowmobile Adventure From Reykjavík

⭐RATING: 4.5 out of 5 Stars | ⌛ TOUR LENGTH: 8 hours |
❄SNOWMOBILE RIDE: 1 hour | 🇮🇸 BOOK NOW

Last but by no means least of these snowmobile tours in Iceland is the Snowmobile Adventure From Reykjavík. It’s a simplified snowmobile tour which doesn’t include any extra stops or diversions.

If you’ve already taken some tours in Iceland, or you just want a snowmobile adventure and that’s it, then the Snowmobile Adventure From Reykjavík is the perfect tour for you.

It offers a snowmobile excursion, nothing more, nothing less.

Taking a snowmobile tour in Iceland is amazing all year round, but it’s especially magical in winter. It’s definitely one of the best Reykjavik winter day trips.

Although snowmobiling on Iceland’s glaciers offers breathtaking views over the surrounding area, snowmobiling through a snowstorm is equally as fun. It’s a completely different experience, and things don’t get much more wintery than that!

Of course, it depends on the day and you might get the weather conditions you want or you might not, but no matter the visibility, the snowmobiles used in Snowmobile Adventure From Reykjavík are so fun and will make you feel like a kid all over again.

Skidding across the sheet of snow while feeling the wind against your body and helmet is an amazing feeling. Snowmobiling is really fun and enjoyable and Iceland makes for the perfect destination.

Langjökull Glacier is Iceland’s second largest glacier. It’s absolutely huge coming in at 50km long and 20km wide. That’s more than a marathon distance in length. Imagine running a marathon along a glacier by the way! I think snowmobiling is a much better idea.

Also included in the tour is a ride in a super truck specially modified to drive along the glacier. It’s pretty cool in itself, but the star of the show is obviously the snowmobile part.

If you’re only looking for snowmobiling and nothing additional, then Snowmobile Adventure From Reykjavík is the tour you’ve been looking for.
