Glacier Rush - Snowmobile Tour
Tour Description
Experience the thrill of wilderness snowmobiling on Langjökull, Europe's second-largest glacier, with our powerful Yamaha Vipers. This tour is designed for a more thrilling and adrenaline-filled experience, with double the horsepower of our regular tours. We limit our groups to small sizes for a more personal experience.
This tour is ideal for those with some recreational vehicle experience and features a powerful Yamaha Viper snowmobile with a three-cylinder 1000cc engine and 140 horsepower. These snowmobiles have double the horsepower compared to our other tours and are single-seated mountain machines capable of tackling every snowy terrain.
We don't offer the Glacier Rush tour with our regular tours, allowing you to explore further, faster, and experience more. Our experienced guides will tailor the trip to the weather and terrain, so you can experience the glacier as the locals do on their private snowmobiles. Our professional and fun-loving guides will provide instructions on operating the snowmobile and go over safety procedures before you set off into the winter wonderland. We only use the most skilled and professional guides for this tour.
