What moves the price
Sharing a machine. Prices are usually quoted per machine for two riders — going solo costs noticeably more. Add-on to a Golden Circle day is better value than a standalone trip.
What the hotel pickup costs you
We can put a number on this rather than guess. Across 23 snowmobile tours , the ones you drive to yourself have a middle price of €274, and the ones that collect you from your hotel have a middle price of €394 — 44% more.
If you have a car, meeting on location is the single biggest saving available on this kind of tour. If you are relying on the bus, the difference is what that seat genuinely costs to run — it is not a markup.
Medians across 12 meet-on-location and 11 pickup tours, per person, day tours only.
The cheapest snowmobile tours we'd actually book
Cheapest is not always right — a €50 saving hurts less than a wasted day. These are the low-price options we'd still put our name to.
A drive in one of our Super truck to our camp on Langjökull glacier is an experience you will never forget. On the second largest glacier in Europe, you will have a fantastic snowmobile adventure for 1 hour.
If a snowmobile tour is the thing you came to Iceland for, pay the middle price rather than the floor — the difference usually buys a smaller group and a guide with time for you. If it's a nice-to-have on a day you're already busy, the cheapest option does the job. Either way, book it for a day early in your trip: if weather cancels it, you'll have another day to try again. Most of these run in Vatnajökull & Jökulsárlón, West Iceland, Golden Circle, Reykjavík.
Snowmobiling prices: questions people ask
How much does a snowmobile tour cost in Iceland?+
We sell 29 snowmobile tours from 9 Icelandic operators. The cheapest is €190 per person, the typical price is €337, and the top end is €2,801. Sharing a machine. Prices are usually quoted per machine for two riders — going solo costs noticeably more. Add-on to a Golden Circle day is better value than a standalone trip.
Is there a booking fee?+
No. You pay the operator's own price and we take a commission out of it, so booking here costs the same as booking direct — with one checkout if you book several tours.
Can I get a refund if I cancel?+
On most of these, yes: cancel more than 24 hours before and you get the full amount back. The exact rule belongs to the operator and is shown on each tour page before you pay.
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.
