Cancellation for this tour
No refund once booked. 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 whiteout or too little snow on the approach track — decided the evening before or on the morning. Here is exactly what happens to your booking.
- 1Viking Women 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.
- 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.
- 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 the cutoff shown above, the operator's policy after that.

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
- Not the one to book if your dates might move: this operator does not refund once booked.

I don’t think I have the words to recommend Viking Women Tours with the justice they deserve. Friends and I went for the Eclipse Tour Aug 9-14. Sigrun was our guide for all but 1 day. Hilarious and Witty. Lazer focused and Kind. Knowledgeable and Intriguing. It felt like walking with a legend you’ve not heard of yet but just know the story will be an epic once it’s written. We all adored her. Then we had Saga for our last day. She climbed onto a bus of 16 women who had gotten to know each other very well and would laugh, sing and be silly. She rolled with it like she had been a fly on the wall all week. She gave us an extraordinary last hike, last dinner, last day together. If you are remotely thinking about booking a trip with them, solo or with friends, DO IT!!! Seriously do it, you’ll have a trip that is spectacularly magical

This was an awesome adventure! Iceland is too beautiful to describe! Our guide Sigrun was wonderful, very knowledgeable on Iceland history and told all about Icelandic culture, including the Hidden peoples. She was knowledgeable on the Iceland terrain and definitely knew her way around to show us beautiful sites. I am 73 and completed all the hikes which are optional if you feel you can’t complete. The hotels we stayed in were very accommodating also. Food great too! I definitely would go again. Very positive experience!

I have been on a healing journey and saw the ad for Viking Women Tours in Iceland. I strongly believe stepping out of your comfort zone is how you grow, so I reserved my place without knowing anyone else and I went for it! I was NOT disappointed! Sigrún was not only an amazing and knowledgeable guide, but her own story was something that left me amazed! The women I met and the strength and beauty I saw in each one is exactly what I needed! I came home feeling happy, refreshed, renewed! My only disappointment was that it wasn't long enough ❤️

This 6 day hike was exceptional, from the pre departure support from Viking Women's owner Saga; our guide Kat was awesome, great energy, attention to detail and fun! The trail itself is awesome, magnificent views, fun bunk houses, well supported with transfer of our food and bags etc; all made for a truly great Icelandic experience! Loved it!!

Read before you book
- Langjökull snowmobile: meet at the glacier or pickup?Meeting at Húsafell or Gullfoss costs about €245 to €270; a Reykjavík pickup adds €45 to €70 and a long day. Most people should drive or join a bus.

Snowmobiling — questions people ask
Can you go snowmobiling in Iceland in summer?
Yes. Snowmobile tours run on Langjökull glacier all year because there is always snow on top. Tours leave from the Geysir area near Gullfoss (/experience/9999/), from Húsafell in the west, or from Reykjavík with transport (/experience/2874/). In June to August the snow is softer and the light is long; in winter the surface is firmer and the views are whiter. Both are fine. Weather cancels tours at any time of year.
Do I need a driving licence to drive a snowmobile?
Yes, a full valid driving licence to drive. Passengers do not need one and ride behind the driver. Standard pricing is two people per snowmobile; if you want to drive alone, most tours sell a single-rider supplement, and the tour page lists it. Minimum ages apply for passengers as well as drivers. Bring your physical licence card; a photo on your phone is sometimes refused.
What is included on a snowmobile tour?
The snowmobile, fuel, a helmet, balaclava, insulated overalls, gloves and boots, plus a guide leading the group across the glacier for roughly an hour of riding. Transport up the glacier from base camp in a modified truck is included; transport from Reykjavík is only included on the versions that say so. Bring your own warm base layers, sunglasses and a camera. Lunch is not included unless the page says it is.
Is snowmobiling worth combining with the Golden Circle?
If you have one spare day and want both, yes. The combined tour (/experience/17762/) does Þingvellir, Geysir and Gullfoss then drives you up Langjökull for an hour on the snowmobiles, about ten hours in total. The downside is pace: the Golden Circle stops are shorter than on a plain sightseeing day. If you have two days, do the Golden Circle properly and snowmobile from Geysir on the second.
