Description
Add a burst of adventure to Iceland’s spectacular South Coast with a snowmobile ride across a vast glacier landscape of brilliant ice and far-reaching mountain views.
Classic waterfalls, volcanic scenery and the exhilaration of travelling on the ice combine in a day filled with dramatic contrasts. Clear organisation and expert guidance make it easy to relax into the experience and enjoy every memorable moment.
Insulated overalls, helmet and balaclava are supplied. Two guests normally share a snowmobile, drivers need a full valid licence, and the ice route is selected for current snow, visibility and safety.
