3.Glacier Snowmobile and Hot Springs with Pickup

★★★★★★★★★★4.7 · 133 reviews · from $346

From Reykjavík, you travel by super truck through the Geysir area to Langjökull Glacier for a guided snowmobile ride. Afterward, soak for 1.5 hours in the Secret Lagoon near Flúðir. Guides such as John, Ingy, Thorstein, and Gunni are praised for safe driving and friendly local stories.

“After the initial confusion over pick up points (no pick up details were sent to us but it may have been due to us booking this the day before the tour) it was a fun and enjoyable tour. Gunni was an excellent guide with plenty of stories and anecdotes which made the trip even more enjoyable. Snowmobiling was the best part of the trip although the Secret Lagoon was a great experience too (better than the blue lagoon for us). Just a shame we couldn’t explore the ice caves due to bad weather which we were very much looking forward to. Awesome wheels too in a pimped up Mercedes Sprinter!Read…”
