About this experience

Explore the Golden Circle's iconic sights of Þingvellir National Park, Geysir spouting hot spring, and Gullfoss waterfall. Experience two tours in one day and continue then on an exhilarating journey to Langjökull, Iceland's majestic glacier with the Sleipnir Monster truck.

Enjoy the guided Golden Circle tour in a small group, listen to interesting facts and stories, and be impressed by Iceland´s nature. Þingvellir National Park offers a grand view over the lake and the former parliament site. Spouting hot spring Strokkur gushes every 5 to 8 minutes a water fountain into the air. If you missed it, well, just wait a few minutes. The thundering Gullfoss waterfall leaves everyone in awe, and with a hike to the edge of the waterfall, you can feel the spray of the waterfall on your face.

Discover the wonders of glaciers with the Red Monster Glacier truck Sleipnir. The enthusiastic and knowledgeable guides will lead you into the Highalnds along Kjölur highland road and onto Langjökull Glacier's awe-inspiring landscape. Listen to interesting facts about glaciers and hear authentic stories of the surrounding area.

We’ll stop at a scenic glacier spot for refreshments surrounded by stunning views. For thrill-seekers, seize the opportunity to sled down slopes or play golf atop the glacier*.

This unique combo tour allows you to experience Iceland’s breathtaking natural beauty and exciting adventure in a single day.

🧥 Pro Tip: We recommend bringing rainproof gear and waterproof boots or shoes — not just for our tour, but for any adventure during your Icelandic holiday. Embrace the elements like a local.

Cancellation for this tour

Free cancellation until 24 hours before departure; no refund after that. If the operator cancels for weather or safety, you get a full refund or a new date.

If the weather cancels this tour

Iceland's weather is real. What usually stops this one is a forecast the operator judges unsafe. Here is exactly what happens to your booking.

1Sleipnir Tours decides, and tells us. Operators cancel when it is unsafe or pointless, and we back that call every time — we do not ask them to run anyway.
2We contact you by email, and by phone if your tour is the same or next day. You choose: another date if there is one you can make, or a full refund. There is no fee and nothing to argue.
3The refund goes back to the card you paid with, through Stripe, usually visible within a few working days. If this tour was one of several in your booking, the others are untouched.

What you do not get is the day back. If this is the only free day in your plan, put a spare day next to it — the planner leaves days free with the rest-day option. And if you want out because the forecast looks bad, that is your own cancellation: free until 1 day before departure, the operator's policy after that.

Why this one and not the cheaper one?

The nearest cheaper Reykjavík Luggage Storage in BSI Bus Terminal from BagBee is €12 — €237 less. Here is every difference we can actually measure.

	Sleipnir Tours · €249	BagBee · €12
Getting there	Picks you up	You make your own way
Changing your mind	Free until 24 h before	Free until 2 h before
How hard it is	Very easy	Easy

The €237 buys you hotel pickup and free cancellation up to 24 h before. Whether that is worth it is your call — but that is what the difference is.

Who this is not for

Children under 4 cannot join this one.
Not a good fit if you want a relaxed day: 11 hours is a long time on the road, most of it spent getting there and back.

Read off the operator's own conditions. If none of it applies to you, this is a good one.

Just had an amazing day with Kimberly our tour guide for the glacier monster truck experience. Just so beautiful and quiet and bloody freezing cold 🥶🤣 the view is outstanding and emotional. The glacier caves is something else you have to see and touch, feel and take as many photos as you can. The truck is huge but you're in good hands with an experienced driver and guide. Thank you so much for a fantastic day Kimberly ❤️❤️❤️

An unforgettable experience! Going up the Langjökull glacier with Sleipnir Tours was definitely one of the highlights of my trip to Iceland. The monster truck is absolutely massive, super comfortable, and watching it drive over the ice is impressive. The views from the panoramic windows are out of this world. The guides were professional, fun, and made us feel safe the whole time. 10/10 recommended!

My husband, granddaughter, and I went on tour 21, June 2026 with Sleipnir Tours. Kim was our guide and Kjartan our driver were both awesome! We had fun golfing, trying to sled (the snow was too sticky so it didn't work), enjoying the majestic views, having cocoa and kleinur, and hearing fun stories. Thank you for the nice day!
