All of the above is computed from Mountaineers of Iceland's own 5 product records, not from a questionnaire. Fleet size and typical group sizes are the figures a comparison table usually shows; Bókun does not carry them, so we would be guessing, and we would rather leave a gap than fill it in.

★★★★★★★★★★5.0
Mountaineers of Iceland was honestly one of the highlights of my trip. The snowmobiling tour was SO much fun and exactly the kind of adventure I was hoping for.
I will be totally honest — but no shade to Mountaineers of Iceland — the actual views were trash because it was snowing the entire time and visibility was terrible. 😂 But the view of Lucas leading the tour? Pristine. Hahaha.
Lucas was an awesome guide and once he opened it up and picked up the pace a bit, I was lowkey proud that we kept up riding behind him. Mostly because I was fully committed to NOT tipping over like some of the other people out there and because I absolutely did not want to hear my friend roast me for the rest of the trip. 😂
Meanwhile I’m over here aggressively wiping snow off my visor every 12 seconds like I was fighting for my life in an Icelandic blizzard. In reality, I was completely fine — just being extra.
Seriously though, such a fun experience and absolutely worth it. I had an amazing time.

A truly professional team.
The instructors was great, the vehicles were brand new and reliable.
We encountered challenging and pretty dangerous weather while leaving the mountain, but Johan, our driver was incredible— He remained calm and navigated us safely down the mountain under very difficult conditions and hard visibility.

This was our Basecamp where we met out other guides that kitted us up with protective gear and gave us a tutorial in using the snowmobile. Honestly, the Golden Circle tour was amazing.......but snowmobiling on top of a Glacier was DOPE!!!!!
