First tour: Snowmobile ride
Scenic and fun Snowmobile tour on Mýrdalsjökull glacier
Meeting point for your Snowmobile tour is Arcanum Base (Mýrdalsjökull Base). Arcanum Base is located 9 km East of Skógar and 23 km West of Vík. The distance from Reykjavík is 160 km and the driving time is about 2,5 hrs. Take Road #222 and drive about 1,2 km to Arcanum Base (Mýrdalsjökull Base) (see road map). Please be ready 30 minutes before departure time.
There you will get a short briefing about the tour and be fitted with all the equipment needed for the tour (warm over-all, balaclava face mask, helmet). Next you will board the glacier truck that will take you up the mountain (about 30 min) to the ice-field where we find the snowmobiles. There your guide will explain to you how the snowmobile works and how to ride it in a safe and fun way. After about 1 hour of snowmobiling we go back down in the glacier truck (about 30 min) to the Arcanum Base where the tour ends
