First tour: Snowmobile ride
Scenic and fun Snowmobile tour on Mýrdalsjökull glacier
The meeting point for your Snowmobile tour is Mýrdalsjökull Base Camp by Icelandic Mountain Guides, 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 Mýrdalsjökull Base Camp (see road map). The location on Google Maps.
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 overall, 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 1,5 hours of snowmobiling, we go back down in the glacier truck (about 30 min) to the Mýrdalsjökull Base Camp, where the tour ends.
