Fast-Paced Glacier Snowmobile Adventure from Gullfoss

About this activity

For the Rush Seeking Traveler. This tour is suited for those that have some recreational vehicle experience. You will be provided with a powerful Yamaha Viper snowmobile or similar, a three-cylinder 1000cc machine with approximately 140 horsepower. These snowmobiles have more than double the displacement that we offer in our other tours. These performance snowmobiles are single seated mountain machine monsters capable of literally all snowy terrains.

More Private

We do not operate the glacier rush tours with our regular tours and therefore, you will be able to travel faster, further and experience more. Our professional guides will tailor your trip according to weather and terrain and you will experience the glacier-like the locals do on their own performance machines.

Our friendly and fun-loving guides will give you instructions on how to operate the snowmobile and go over the safety procedures before you set off into the winter wonderland.
