Combintation trip: Sightseeing and snowmobile day trip on Langjökull glacier.
Trip difficulty 2 out of 5 possible.
Includes
a super jeep ride and a visit to Geysir, the world famous hot springs,
Gullfoss waterfall, Þingvellir National Park and a snow scooter
adventure on Langjökull glacier.
The Golden Circle tour
allows visitors to get in touch with some of Iceland’s most famous and
exciting natural phenomena. Our first stop is at the Þingvellir
National Park 40 min due east of the city. Þingvellir is one of
Iceland’s most historic sites as it was here that Iceland’s first
parliament was founded in the year 930 AD. From Þingvellir we head
along gravel tracks toward the world-renowned geothermal area around
the Geysir hot spring. This is the one spouting hot spring that all
such phenomena on Earth are named after. From there we continue on to
Gullfoss (“the Golden waterfall”) where your proximity to its edge is
so close you can feel the spray of the glacial water on your face. Next
we kick the action into higher gear to get even closer to Iceland’s
nature and go for a snowmobiling tour on Langjökull, Iceland’s second
largest glacier.
We reserve the right to alter the itinerary according to weather and road conditions.
Details:
Price: 33.500 ISK per person. Add 3.000 ISK per person to have a solo snow scooter.
Pick up time: 8:30-9:00 AM.
Note:
If the whole trip gets canceled due to weather there is a full refund, but if the tour is done (Golden Circle super jeep tour) and only the snowmobiling is canceled due to weather the refund is 6.500ISK. If the snowmobiling is canceled we can sometimes offer an extra super jeep adventure or an hour of quad biking at the same price, then there is no refund for canceling the snowmobiling. This is mainly a concern during high winter and autumn when there is a lot of storms and heavy snow.
