If the weather cancels this tour
Iceland's weather is real. What usually stops this one is a whiteout or too little snow on the approach track — decided the evening before or on the morning. Here is exactly what happens to your booking.
- 1Geo Travel 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 Lake Mývatn 1.Hour Snowmobile Safari from Geo Travel is €219 — €147 less. Here is every difference we can actually measure.
| Geo Travel · €366 | Geo Travel · €219 | |
|---|---|---|
| How long it runs | 3 hours | 1.5 hours |
| How hard it is | Moderate | Easy |
The €147 buys you 1.5 more hours out. Whether that is worth it is your call — but that is what the difference is.
Sold out on your date?
Seats come back — a cancellation, or the operator adding a vehicle. Tell us the date and we will check once a day and email you if one opens. One email, then we delete the address; nothing else is ever sent to it.
Who this is not for
- Not for families with children under 13 — the operator will not take them, even with a parent.
Read off the operator's own conditions. If none of it applies to you, this is a good one.

Rúna was an outstanding tour guide. He brought incredible energy, enthusiasm, and a positive attitude from start to finish. It was a very long day, but his engaging commentary and great sense of humor made the time fly by. He confidently navigated some truly adventurous conditions, including river crossings and driving through snow, all while making us feel safe and comfortable. Along the way, he shared fascinating stories about Icelandic history, geology, and culture that made every stop even more meaningful. This was an unforgettable experience, and Rúna played a huge part in making it so memorable. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Iceland.

The Lofthellir ice cave tour was exceptional and includes a hike across a lava field before going into the cave. Our guide Anton is local and was incredibly knowledgeable about the geology and formations as well as the ecosystem. This is one of my favorite things I’ve done in Iceland.

We had a great time on our buggy ATV tour with Alejandro this morning! We enjoyed the buggy instruction, exciting tour, and interesting lessons about Icelandic geology. We already know this will be one of the highlights of our already eventful vacation to Iceland. Highly recommend!!

Snowmobiling — questions people ask
Can you go snowmobiling in Iceland in summer?
Yes. Snowmobile tours run on Langjökull glacier all year because there is always snow on top. Tours leave from the Geysir area near Gullfoss (/experience/9999/), from Húsafell in the west, or from Reykjavík with transport (/experience/2874/). In June to August the snow is softer and the light is long; in winter the surface is firmer and the views are whiter. Both are fine. Weather cancels tours at any time of year.
Do I need a driving licence to drive a snowmobile?
Yes, a full valid driving licence to drive. Passengers do not need one and ride behind the driver. Standard pricing is two people per snowmobile; if you want to drive alone, most tours sell a single-rider supplement, and the tour page lists it. Minimum ages apply for passengers as well as drivers. Bring your physical licence card; a photo on your phone is sometimes refused.
What is included on a snowmobile tour?
The snowmobile, fuel, a helmet, balaclava, insulated overalls, gloves and boots, plus a guide leading the group across the glacier for roughly an hour of riding. Transport up the glacier from base camp in a modified truck is included; transport from Reykjavík is only included on the versions that say so. Bring your own warm base layers, sunglasses and a camera. Lunch is not included unless the page says it is.
Is snowmobiling worth combining with the Golden Circle?
If you have one spare day and want both, yes. The combined tour (/experience/17762/) does Þingvellir, Geysir and Gullfoss then drives you up Langjökull for an hour on the snowmobiles, about ten hours in total. The downside is pace: the Golden Circle stops are shorter than on a plain sightseeing day. If you have two days, do the Golden Circle properly and snowmobile from Geysir on the second.
