Would this be cheaper direct? No — we sell at Sleipnir Tours's own price and take our commission from them, not from you. What you get here is one checkout across operators, one confirmation, and one place to change or cancel it. If you ever find it cheaper on their own site, tell us and we will match it or explain why we cannot.

About this experience

Explore the Golden Circle's iconic sights of Þingvellir National Park, Geysir spouting hot spring, and Gullfoss waterfall. Experience two tours in one day and continue then on an exhilarating journey to Langjökull, Iceland's majestic glacier with the Sleipnir Monster truck.

Enjoy the guided Golden Circle tour in a small group, listen to interesting facts and stories, and be impressed by Iceland´s nature. Þingvellir National Park offers a grand view over the lake and the former parliament site. Spouting hot spring Strokkur gushes every 5 to 8 minutes a water fountain into the air. If you missed it, well, just wait a few minutes. The thundering Gullfoss waterfall leaves everyone in awe, and with a hike to the edge of the waterfall, you can feel the spray of the waterfall on your face.

Discover the wonders of glaciers with the Red Monster Glacier truck Sleipnir. The enthusiastic and knowledgeable guides will lead you into the Highalnds along Kjölur highland road and onto Langjökull Glacier's awe-inspiring landscape. Listen to interesting facts about glaciers and hear authentic stories of the surrounding area.

We’ll stop at a scenic glacier spot for refreshments surrounded by stunning views. For thrill-seekers, seize the opportunity to sled down slopes or play golf atop the glacier*.

This unique combo tour allows you to experience Iceland’s breathtaking natural beauty and exciting adventure in a single day.


🧥 Pro Tip: We recommend bringing rainproof gear and waterproof boots or shoes — not just for our tour, but for any adventure during your Icelandic holiday. Embrace the elements like a local.

Cancellation for this tour

Free cancellation until 24 hours before departure; no refund after that. If the operator cancels for weather or safety, you get a full refund or a new date.

If the weather cancels this tour

Iceland's weather is real. What usually stops this one is a forecast the operator judges unsafe. Here is exactly what happens to your booking.

  1. 1Sleipnir Tours decides, and tells us. Operators cancel when it is unsafe or pointless, and we back that call every time — we do not ask them to run anyway.
  2. 2We contact you by email, and by phone if your tour is the same or next day. You choose: another date if there is one you can make, or a full refund. There is no fee and nothing to argue.
  3. 3The refund goes back to the card you paid with, through Stripe, usually visible within a few working days. If this tour was one of several in your booking, the others are untouched.

What you do not get is the day back. If this is the only free day in your plan, put a spare day next to it — the planner leaves days free with the rest-day option. And if you want out because the forecast looks bad, that is your own cancellation: free until 1 day before departure, the operator's policy after that.

Why this one and not the cheaper one?

The nearest cheaper Golden Ride – Day tour in Golden Circle area from Íslandshestar is €0 — €243 less. Here is every difference we can actually measure.

How long it runs11 hours1 hour
Getting therePicks you upYou make your own way
Changing your mindFree until 24 h beforeNo free cancellation
How hard it isVery easyEasy

The €243 buys you 10 more hours out and hotel pickup and free cancellation up to 24 h before. Whether that is worth it is your call — but that is what the difference is.

Sold out on your date?

Seats come back — a cancellation, or the operator adding a vehicle. Tell us the date and we will check once a day and email you if one opens. One email, then we delete the address; nothing else is ever sent to it.

Who this is not for

  • Children under 4 cannot join this one.
  • Not a good fit if you want a relaxed day: 11 hours is a long time on the road, most of it spent getting there and back.

Read off the operator's own conditions. If none of it applies to you, this is a good one.

    Just had an amazing day with Kimberly our tour guide for the glacier monster truck experience. Just so beautiful and quiet and bloody freezing cold 🥶🤣 the view is outstanding and emotional. The glacier caves is something else you have to see and touch, feel and take as many photos as you can. The truck is huge but you're in good hands with an experienced driver and guide. Thank you so much for a fantastic day Kimberly ❤️❤️❤️

    I had an amazing experience with Sleipnir Iceland on the Langjökull Glacier (Sandvatn area) tour. Everything was perfectly organized, the staff were genuinely warm, friendly, and professional, and they made the whole adventure both fun and safe. A big thank you to the entire Sleipnir Iceland team—I would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Iceland!

    An unforgettable experience! Going up the Langjökull glacier with Sleipnir Tours was definitely one of the highlights of my trip to Iceland. The monster truck is absolutely massive, super comfortable, and watching it drive over the ice is impressive. The views from the panoramic windows are out of this world. The guides were professional, fun, and made us feel safe the whole time. 10/10 recommended!

    Took the glacier and ice cave tour in mid February and it's incredible. Hard to miss them at the meet up location then a 1 hour ride out to the glacier. Plenty of time on the glacier and on the caves to take pictures and enjoy. Friendly crew that fills the ride with stories and information. Sleds were provided to have some extra fun. Crampons provided as well for the caves.
