About this experience

Embark on a once-in-a-lifetime adventure aboard our Monster Sleipnir Trucks, combining smooth, effortless comfort with raw Highland power as we journey to the breathtaking Langjökull, Iceland's second-largest glacier.

Our knowledgeable and local guides will lead you through this stunning natural wonder. Listen to interesting facts about glaciers, hear authentic stories of the Icelandic Highlands, and dive into the fascinating world of Nordic Mythology.

We stop at a scenic spot on the glacier with stunning views. Here you can enjoy at our Glacier pop-up Cafe - hot cocoa, coffee or tea, and Kleinur (an Icelandic pastry) and taste the purest water straight from the glacier.

For thrill-seekers, don't miss the chance to sled down the slopes or play golf atop the glacier*.

This Icelandic glacier tour offers lasting memories and fun. Delve into beauty, gather fascinating knowledge, and capture memorable photos – an unforgettable experience is guaranteed.

Highlights:

Langjökull Glacier: Experience the magnificence of Iceland's second-largest glacier.
Sleipnir Monster Trucks: Comfortable and thrilling ride with panoramic views.
Icelandic Highlands: Dive into the fascinating landscapes and Nordic mythology.
Glacier Pop-up Cafe: Enjoy hot cocoa, tea, and "Kleinur" (Icelandic pastry) with glacier views.
Pure Glacier Water: Taste the cleanest, freshest water directly from the glacier.
Fun Activities: Opportunity for sledding and glacier golf* (weather permitting).

*Activities subject to weather and glacier conditions.

Footnote: 🌧️ Rain or Shine – the Adventure Goes On
Even when it rains, the glacier and Highlands take on a dramatic beauty that’s well worth the journey. You’ll stay warm and dry inside our comfortable Sleipnir Truck — but you're free to step outside and explore for as long as you like. We serve the hot cocoa then inside.

🧥 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 high wind or rain on the ice — the guide decides at the meeting point, sometimes after you have set off. 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.

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!

Read before you book

Into the Glacier: from Húsafell or Reykjavík?The Langjökull ice tunnel from Húsafell, Klaki base camp or Reykjavík — which departure to book and what the day really costs you.
Lava Tunnel vs Into the GlacierRaufarhólshellir lava tunnel vs the man-made ice tunnel inside Langjökull, compared on time, cost, what's underground and who each one suits.
Snowmobiling on Langjökull or a glacier hike?An hour on a snowmobile from €241 or three hours in crampons from €92. They feel nothing alike, and one is the better first glacier day for most people.

Glacier hiking — questions people ask

Which glacier is best for a first glacier hike?

Sólheimajökull on the South Coast, about two and a half hours from Reykjavík. It is the most accessible glacier tongue, the walk from the car park is short and the three-to-four-hour tours (/experience/6853/ or /experience/914990/) suit beginners. Skaftafell in the southeast has bigger ice and fewer people, with tours like Glacier Wonders (/experience/17340/), but it is a five-hour drive each way, so it only works if you are staying out there.

Can you hike on a glacier in Iceland in summer?

Yes. Glacier hiking runs all year. In June to August the ice is grey and gritty on the surface with blue crevasses and meltwater channels, and the weather is milder. In November to March the ice is whiter and you may see ice formations, but daylight is short and the wind bites. Neither is better; summer is easier, winter is prettier. The one thing you cannot do in summer is visit a natural blue ice cave.

How fit do I need to be for a glacier hike?

Moderately. You walk two to three hours on uneven ice in crampons, with some short steep sections. Anyone who can manage a hilly day walk will be fine; the pace is slow because the guide is checking the route. It is not for anyone with knee or balance problems, and most operators set a minimum age of eight to ten. Check the tour page. Longer tours like Glacier Explorer (/experience/17338/) push further onto the ice and need more stamina.

What do I need to bring on a glacier hike?

Sturdy boots with ankle support, waterproof jacket and trousers, warm layers, gloves and a hat, plus water and a snack. The operator provides crampons, a harness, a helmet and an ice axe. Jeans and trainers are not allowed on the ice, and guides do turn people away. Most meeting points rent boots and rain gear for a small fee; check the tour page and book them in advance in summer.
