This tour is the perfect length of time for 'first-time riders' and individuals looking for a scenic, fun ride, exploring and experiencing the wilderness, the glacier, and the breathtaking views over south Iceland. In perfect conditions, the jaw-dropping view includes Westman Islands, the whole south coast to Ingólfsfjall, and even a big part of the highlands!

The tour starts from Brú base camp, Road 249, five minutes down Seljalandsfoss. After a short briefing where your guide takes you through safety procedures, you dress up in a snowsuit and helmet and hop into a modified Super Jeep. You then drive towards Eyjafjallajökull and up its slopes, onto the glacier base where the snowmobiles are kept.

The duration of the tour varies from season to season since you drive up to the ever-changing snowline to reach the snowmobile but the snowmobiling itself is about 1 hour.

In winter time it is easier to reach snow so the tour is about 2 hours, but in the summer time you need to drive higher to reach the snowline, then the tour can take up to 4 hours.

Please note that for bookings with odd numbers, the third person is automatically a single ride, so you will need to book the single supplement, or you will be contacted for that. We do not share rides with strangers, and we can only fit two per sleigh, so the price is per person, not a sleigh.
