Snowmobiling on Eyjafjallajökull

Vik, Iceland

Southcoast Adventure

The southern region offers breathtaking views from below; however, immersing oneself in its beauty from above is truly unparalleled. Engaging in snowmobiling atop the majestic Eyjafjallajökull glacier provides an exceptional and unforgettable experience, one that can only be achieved once in a lifetime.



This tour caters specifically to first-time riders and enthusiasts seeking an exhilarating adventure, combining scenic exploration with the thrill of riding on glaciers and appreciating panoramic views of South Iceland. Commencing at the base, Gljúfrabúi via Road 249, participants receive a thorough safety briefing before being equipped with protective gear including snow suits and helmets.

Following this initial setup, they board a modified Super Jeep, which transports them swiftly towards the renowned Eyjafjallajökull Glacier. Upon reaching the glacier's surface, their journey transitions to snowmobiles parked at its base. During the ride, visitors experience a unique blend of adrenaline-pumping excitement and awe-inspiring natural beauty, particularly during the winter months when the jaw-dropping vistas often extend beyond the Westman Islands, the entirety of the southern coastline, all the way down to Ingólfsfjall, and even a significant portion of the highlands.

The duration of the tour fluctuates depending on seasonal conditions. Typically, it lasts approximately one hour in winter due to easier accessibility to the snow line, while it may extend to four hours in summer as drivers have to ascend further to secure access to the same level of snow cover. This versatile itinerary ensures that travelers can enjoy a variety of experiences throughout the year.
