Both of these activities take place on glaciers near Vík í Mýrdal, a charming coastal village in southern Iceland. During the snowmobiling and glacier hiking near Vík, you'll explore Mýrdalsjökull, one of Iceland's largest glaciers, and Sólheimajökull, a glacier tongue extending from the larger Mýrdalsjökull.

The full-day adventure begins with the snowmobiling tour on Mýrdalsjökull. You'll meet your experienced guide at Mýrdalsjökull Base and be driven to the ice cap in a real glacier truck. Upon arrival at the starting point, you'll receive the equipment and snowmobiles. Each vehicle will be shared between two, with one driver and one passenger, or you can ride as a solo driver. No previous experience is needed, the guide will go through a safety briefing and driving instructions. Then, the snowmobiling on Mýrdalsjökull begins!

During the snowmobiling tour on Mýrdalsjökull's icy surface, you'll experience incredible glacier wilderness and the amazing scenery of Iceland's southern coast. After your snowmobiling adventure, you'll return to the starting point. Then, you must make your own way to the second meeting point for the glacier hiking tour on Sólheimajökull (you'll receive instructions upon booking). At the Sólheimajökull Base, you'll be greeted again by a certified instructor. After a quick safety briefing and tutorial for using the glacier equipment, your glacier hike on Sólheimajökull begins!

Sólheimajökull is known for its stark beauty and dramatic landscapes, with blue ice, deep crevasses, and ash-covered ice from past volcanic eruptions. The expert guide will lead you on a safe walk across the glacier and you'll discover its unique ice formations and tunnels. You'll also learn more about the history, formation, and importance of the glaciers in Iceland. At the end of your glacier hiking tour on Sólheimajökull, you'll return to the starting point.

Explore two mesmerising glaciers in southern Iceland on a combination tour of glacier hiking on Sólheimajökull and snowmobiling on Mýrdalsjökull near Vík!
