What to expect
Your adventure begins at Gullfoss Café, next to the iconic Gullfoss Waterfall—one of Iceland’s most breathtaking natural landmarks. This powerful two-tiered waterfall plunges 32 meters (105 feet) into a rugged canyon and serves as the perfect backdrop to start your glacier journey. Meet your guides at the Mountaineers of Iceland sign in the parking lot, where you’ll board a specially modified Super Truck for the ride into the highlands.
Geldingafell
From Gullfoss, your Super Truck journey takes you deep into Iceland’s rugged interior, toward the Geldingafell mountain area. The ride lasts 35–60 minutes, depending on road and weather conditions, and offers stunning views of volcanic landscapes and snow-covered plains. This off-road trek is part of the adventure, an exciting preview of the glacier experience ahead.
At the Langjökull Glacier base camp, you'll gear up with warm snowsuits, helmets, gloves, and boots before receiving a full safety briefing and snowmobile instructions. Once you're ready, hop on your snowmobile and begin a thrilling one-hour ride across Iceland’s second-largest glacier. Depending on visibility and weather, you’ll stop for photos and take in views of icy plateaus and volcanic peaks. The highlight of the tour is a visit to a naturally formed ice cave, recently discovered and made safely accessible with a custom-built entrance. Step into a mesmerizing world of blue crystal ice and unique formations shaped over centuries by glacial forces. After exploring the cave, you'll return by snowmobile to the base camp, then ride back through the highlands to Gullfoss.
