Mountaineers of Iceland - Reykjavík

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Epic Golden Circle & Glacier Adventure - Vehicle Collection Included!

Talk about the ultimate Icelandic adventure! Our private tour with Mountaineers of Iceland was like getting a greatest hits album of amazing experiences all rolled into one day. From the Golden Circle to glacier snowmobiling - this tour had it all!

First, can we talk about their vehicle fleet? It was like a monster truck show meets Arctic expedition! We got to experience rides in a massive jeep, a glacier truck, AND another even more ridiculous glacier truck (in the best possible way). Each vehicle switch felt like unwrapping a new present - just more exciting than the last!

Even though there were yellow alerts, the company worked around them. This kind of flexibility and professionalism is exactly what you want when adventuring in Iceland's ever-changing landscape.

The snowmobiling on the glacier was an absolute blast! If you've ever wondered what it feels like to be in a James Bond movie while crossing a winter wonderland, this is your chance. Our guide was not just incredibly knowledgeable but also fantastic company - making the whole day feel like an adventure with a friend who happens to know all the coolest spots in Iceland.

What made Mountaineers of Iceland stand out:
- Incredible fleet of vehicles (each one cooler than the last!)
- Professional and flexible when adapting to weather conditions
- Amazing guide who made the day extra special
- Perfect mix of excitement and safety
- Seamless organization from start to finish

Pro tip: Book a private tour if you can - it's worth every penny for the personalized experience and flexibility.

Whether you're a thrill-seeker or just looking for an unforgettable day in Iceland, Mountaineers of Iceland delivers big time. They've mastered the art of turning a regular day into an epic adventure. Just remember to bring your sense of adventure and a camera - you're going to need both!

Booked a tour on GetYourGuide operated by Reykjavik Sightseeing (RSS) on Tuesday 4th Feb. The part operated by RSS was great but as soon as they passed us over to Mountaineers of Iceland (MOI) we were loaded into the truck, asked to sign a waiver and just when we think everything is going smoothly, they announce last minute that they are cancelling our experience. At this point the coach had already left and they called it to come back. They said to us that we would receive an email to either reschedule or get a refund, which we never received. We couldn’t reschedule anyway as we were told that the next one would be on Fri 7th Feb, the day we were due to fly home. Some other guests said the previous day had been cancelled also, so they should have been well-prepared for this. When we contacted RSS about a refund they said they would have to check with MOI and would get back within 10 working days. Poor communication and customer service along with a disappointing experience, would not recommend.

We hadden de golden circle tour geboekt met sneeuwscooterrit op de gletsjer in een superjeep. Eén dag van te voren kregen we te horen dat we ook nog gratis een bezoek gingen brengen aan het warmwaterbad secret lagoon. Eén dag om nooit meer te vergeten! Onze gids (John) was superaardig en vertelde veel feiten. Een echte aanrader als je in de buurt van Reyjavik bent.

I had a great time! Snowmobiling was awesome!

This Golden Circle Super Jeep and Snowmobile tour was steep in price but I felt it was well worth it. Toti was our lead guide and he did a fantastic job leading us throughout our long day tour. It began in the morning at 8 am when I got picked up in his Super Jeep outside my hotel at bus stop 9. Once Toti picked up everyone at their respective stops we started heading on our way to the Golden Circle area… we even saw the volcano that erupted that same morning in the far distance from the Jeep. Our first stop was at the famous Gulfoss waterfall but there wasn’t too much to see of it because it was mostly frozen. After that, Toti took the super jeep on the snowy trek towards the snowmobile sight. It was quite a long and often bumpy ride through the thick snow but Toti did a great job and it took about 40 minutes to reach the snowmobile site. Once we got there, we the followed the instructions set out by the snowmobile instructors about getting our suits on and how to use the snowmobiles. Soon we were on our way and we went about 25 minutes out a point in the snowy wilderness and then went 25 minutes back to the snowmobile departure site. It was an amazing experience and I thank all the team members at that snowmobile site for leading us on that amazing excursion! After the snowmobile tour Toti and the super jeep brought us to our last two stops which were an hour long stop at the Golden Circle where the famous Strokkur Geyser was and then finally at an observation platform where we saw amazing views of Thingvellir National Park. After that, we head back to Reykjavik and I was back at my hotel around 8 pm. Big thanks once again to Toti for being our lead tour guide and super jeep driver throughout this whole day and big thanks to the snowmobile instructors of Mountaineers of Iceland for leading us on that amazing snowmobile excursion! I thoroughly enjoyed it - Nolan

Thoroughly enjoyed our ice cave tour and snowmobiling experience! We booked this tour to celebrate my partners 30th and had the best time (despite poor weather conditions, this can’t be helped and we made the most of it!). The snowmobiling was very thrilling, there were points we reached 40kph which was both terrifying and fun at the same time. The ice cave was an amazing experience, standing inside a cave of ice over 400 years old, a big tick off the bucket list! The team were all friendly and helpful, and the whole experience was great value for money. I would definitely recommend this company and experience to anyone visiting Iceland 😊

Will forever be raving about this experience! Krys and Anthony were both super helpful in explaining the ins and outs, do's and don'ts of the trip and made sure everyone was having a good time throughout

Free use of snowsuits, ski gloves, balaclavas and helmets for safety and easy instructions on how to drive the snowmobiles was given as soon as everyone was ready in their suits

We couldn't have asked for better weather and the atmosphere was incredible - we even got to stop half way through the experience to play in the snow! ❄️

A huge thank you to all the team for looking after us!

Wir haben uns sehr auf die Schneemobil Tour gefreut und wurden maßlos enttäuscht! Sehr viel Geld dafür bezahlt um in einer Kolonne von über 100 Schneemobilen im Schneckentempo mit max.10 bis 15 km/h, hintereinander herzufahren!
Würden wir niemanden weiterempfehlen, der was anderes erwartet!

How amazing! We did the hot&cold snowmobiling experience our tour guide was Oskar & he went above and beyond with funeral and interesting facts! He explained everything to us start to finish! The experience was great!
