★★★★★★★★★★5.0
An absolutely incredible experience! The side-by-side tour through the volcanic mountains and up to the glaciers was easily one of the highlights of our trip to Iceland. The scenery was breathtaking, with stunning views at every stop.
Our guide was incredibly friendly, professional, and passionate. They made sure everyone had a great time while sharing interesting facts about the area.
If you're looking for a unique adventure with unforgettable views, I highly recommend Glacier Paradise. This is a must-do activity when visiting Iceland

We had a wonderful trip to the glacier! Even though the visibility was low, Vignir and Kolfinna were wonderful hosts and guides making sure we were comfortable and still able to enjoy the top of Snæfellsjökull. I highly recommend the snow cat tour!

What an amazing experience booking the Top of the Glacier tour through Glacier Paradise! From getting picked up in town from our cruise ship, the experience was top notch. Expertly guided on the way to the base camp. The trip up the mountain in the bus was nice, but the Snowcat ride to the top was AMAZING! At the top we experienced clouds, sleet, sun, and incredible views. So much fun and I highly recommend this family-owned business to all.

We absolutely loved our UTV/buggy tour to the glacier and around the area. Vignir was an incredible guide. This was a unique experience we will never forget. Highly recommend!

Our guides that weigh up Glacier Paradise
Where we compare their tours with the alternatives — including when we say to book someone else.
A 3 hour snow-cat sightseeing adventure to explore one of Iceland's most beautiful glaciers, Snæfellsjökull. We will drive to the root of the glacier where a snow-cat will be waiting to take you higher up on the glacier.
No. We sell Glacier Paradise's tours at the price they set, through their own booking system, so the seat costs the same here as on their site. What you get here in addition is one checkout for every tour in your trip, whoever runs it, and one place to turn if plans change.

None of the 2 Glacier Paradise tours we sell includes a hotel pickup. Each tour page gives the meeting point — they start from Arnarstapi.

How is Glacier Paradise rated?+
