Phenominal - highly recommended - one of the best things we did in Iceland - This was one of the best things we did in Iceland. End to end the experience was really well organised and slick, the team were super friendly and the whole thing had a great vibe. Snowmobiling was so much fun and seeing and being on Vatnajökull even just from the coach was quite the spectacle. We've never experienced that amount of snow before and it blew our minds! The views were incredible and we love the fact that we had a snowball fight on the largest glacier in Europe! The pick up and drop off point was next to Gulfoss and also not far from the Geysir too. We visited the Geysir en route and ran to Gulfoss after snowmobiling as it was getting dark and that was incredible too. A really magical experience.

Fun Snowmobiling in Iceland - Even though I was hesitant at first I’m glad I went. There is a bus ride up to the meeting point where you can hear up with a snowsuit and necessary accessories. We were nice and warm while riding. The break mid ride was worth it for the amazing views and once in a lifetime photos.

This was a great tour.... - This was a great tour. Guides and staff were helpful and friendly. Glacier experience was great and pretty to see. Just note this is a 4 hour trip. A 40 min bus ride to the glacier, get suited up, ride the snow mobile for about an hour and then return the suits and then the bus ride back.

Transfers are about an... - Transfers are about an hour to and from the glacier on one of the big off-road buses. Worth using the over boots of your shoes/boots are not waterproof - unless you want to get wet feet.
Great family fun - we went with older ‘kids’ each 17 and over so everyone got to drive.

Fun time once you get up there - We were a family of five, and it was a good tour. The ride up to the glacier was rough because the bus that took us there didn't have air conditioning. We caught an unusually hot day, and it was a tough ride up there. It's about an hour before you get to the glacier to ride. The guides up there are amazing. Good dudes.... I was surprised how many people turned the sled on the side that caused us to stop a lot. Overall, my kids loved it, and I thought it was a cool experience once we got up there. the ride to/from was a touch long for me.... Overall, it was a cool experience.

Not bad, but not great - Absolutely appreciated the help getting to the glacier and the provided equipment. Just felt the group was so big that the experience itself was lacking. Placed in a line and asked to follow the leader, no passing or going at our own pace. It is understood there were risks and we needed to stay on the path for safety reasons, it just felt like we were in preschool, all holding a rope until we got to our destination.

Stop and Go traffic on a freaking glacier - If you want to experience Stop and Go traffic on the middle of a glacier this is the tour for you. One lady in front of us fell off her mobile THREE times. The guides refused to let anyone pass her until close to the 1/2 way point. It was like a traffic jam in the city behind her. We never exceeded a stuttering pace faster than 10 mph prior to that. And even after that got to a max of 18 mph. Worst experience on a guided snow mobile tour. I’ve been on snow mobiles in Yellowstone, Vail, Breckinridge, Big Sky, and Park City. This was the worst tour I have ever been on BY FAR!
