This was disappointing and not very adventurous. We rode in a single straight line, stopped once, and came back the exact way we came staying in our original tracks. It was cloudy so there was no view. We could see a glacier outlet way off in the distance but that was it. I thought we would see more or at least go in a loop to see different scenery on the way back. I get it that glaciers are dangerous but I was hoping to get a little closer view the glacier outlet way off in the distance. There was nothing to see but flat black dusted snow in every direction. Going in one straight, single file line was boring with not much scenery. We go so slow that the mushy snow made it difficult to steer. The ride in the truck up to the snow was longer than the actual snowmobile ride. Out of all the things to do in Iceland this was the least favorite of the group and was not money well spent. I would have rather gone on a glacier hike. Skip this tour--not much adventure and not much to see if it is a cloudy day---which is almost every day in Iceland! There is too much other beauty to see in Iceland--skip this. This tour is overpriced for the lack of adventure and beauty--ride the Icelandic Horses instead, go on a hike, ATV on a black sand beach, kayak on a glacier lagoon, or hike a glacier, but skip this and save some money.

Your professional snowmobile guide will show you how to manoeuvre a snowmobile and then you head off on to the ice cap. You will spend about 1 hour on snowmobile driving around the ice cap, stopping at spectacular photo stops and educational and fun tellings from the guide.
