Snowmobile tour from Akureyri

Snowmobiling in the mountains above Akureyri

Explore the winter landscape with a local guide on a one- or two-hour snowmobile ride. Your route is chosen for the snow, weather and access conditions on the day. We welcome up to 12 guests, subject to a maximum of six guest snowmobiles.

Choose your ride

• Morning, two-hour ride: pickup in Akureyri or meeting by the Forest Baths at 10:00; aim to start riding around 10:30.
• Afternoon, one-hour ride: pickup in Akureyri or meeting by the Forest Baths at 14:00; aim to start riding around 14:30.

These are riding times. Transfers, equipment fitting and the safety briefing are additional. Riding starts are approximate and may move with conditions and preparation. Follow the time and location in your latest confirmed joining instructions.

Solo or shared snowmobile

Select one Driver for each snowmobile, then add one Passenger for the second guest sharing that machine. Choose one Driver and no Passenger for a solo ride. Three guests sharing use two Drivers and one Passenger: one shared machine and one solo machine. Different bookings never share a machine.

The one-hour ride costs ISK 40,250 for a solo machine or ISK 69,000 for two guests sharing. The two-hour ride costs ISK 63,250 for a solo machine or ISK 96,600 for two guests sharing. The calculator shows the driver/machine price plus its passenger supplement.

Who can join?

Passengers must be aged 6 or over. Every driver must be at least 17 and hold and present a valid original driving licence, including anyone who takes a turn driving. Steering with a passenger can be harder for beginners, so we recommend solo riding for first-timers. The combined weight of two guests sharing must not exceed 180 kg (390 lbs); guests above this combined limit must book separate machines.

Getting to the snow

Pickup and return transfer are included when selected. Guests with a car meet the guide by the Forest Baths at the time above and may follow the guide when conditions allow. If conditions prevent this, transfer with us from the Forest Baths is included.

We normally confirm joining instructions at least 48 hours before departure and will contact you if conditions require a later change. Advance booking is required. Operation depends on safe snow, weather and road conditions; tours cancelled by us are fully refunded.
