4X4 Golden Circle & Snowscooters

OVERVIEW

Get ready for an unforgettable journey through Iceland’s stunning landscapes! This full-day tour combines the best of Iceland’s natural wonders with the thrill of a snowmobile adventure on the country’s second-largest glacier. Your adventure begins with a scenic drive over the moorlands of Mosfellsheiði, an ancient lava field. From there, we’ll head to Þingvellir National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site that offers a breathtaking view of the Reykjanes Ridge on clear days. Here, you’ll witness the only place on Earth where the Mid-Atlantic Ridge is visible above sea level, marking the boundary between the Eurasian and North American tectonic plates. Þingvellir is not just a geological marvel; it’s also a historic and sacred site for Icelanders, as it’s where the nation’s first parliament, Althingi, was founded in 930 AD. Next, we’ll travel to Geysir, the geothermal hot spot where the word “geyser” originated. Watch in awe as Strokkur, an explosive geyser, erupts every few minutes, sending a powerful plume of water high into the air. Then, we’ll make our way to Langjökull Glacier’s base camp, where you’ll gear up for an exhilarating snowmobile ride across the glacier’s vast, ice-covered expanse. Spend an hour exploring the pristine, white desert-like landscape as you feel the rush of adventure beneath your feet. Before we conclude this action-packed day, we’ll visit Gullfoss, the “Golden Waterfall.” This iconic cascade is Iceland’s most famous waterfall and offers a truly awe-inspiring sight as it plunges into a deep canyon. This tour is the ultimate way to experience Iceland’s natural beauty, from historic landmarks to thrilling glacier exploration.
