You will also be supplied with the appropriate safety equipment and warm overalls.
During the tour, you will ride snowmobiles through some incredible wild and rugged landscapes. You’ll ride through stunning valleys and get a picture perfect view of some of Iceland’s highest peaks. The tour is led by an expert guide who will not only guide you through this beautiful landscape but also share his knowledge of the area.
