A breathtaking experience - not to be missed! - We got a very pleasant surprise when we arrived at the base camp. We’d been told by our travel agency that the snowmobile experience had been cancelled due to bad weather and we were expecting to go on a buggy tour instead, but as it had turned out much finer than expected we got to do the snowmobile tour after all! Even better, it was just the two of us with the brilliant Pawel as our guide. It was an amazing experience - so exhilarating to be speeding over the glacier, with breathtaking views all around. And Pawel was so knowledgeable about the area, the geology and the landscape, it was fascinating and we leaned a lot. We also felt very safe with him guiding us and giving a very thorough safety briefing nHighly recommend this experience - it was out of this world!

Snowmobiling in Myrdalsjokull was very fun! - We had such a fun time snowmobiling on Iceland's Myrdalsjokull glacier. I went with my parents and we had such a great time!

Fun and cool. - Though the tour for a family is kind of expensive, we still recommend it. It's really fun and cool. The tour guides are very friendly, helpful and professional. They provided the insulated cover clothing. So, the cold temperature and the wind weren't issue at all.
