From the pier, board your local coach for the 40-minute transfer to the root of the Snaefellsjokull volcano-glacier.

Upon arrival, switch for a snow track buggy for a sightseeing tour. The glacier rises 1446 meters above sea level. The mountain is one of the most famous sites in Iceland, primarily due to Jules Verne’s novel “Journey to the Center of the Earth”, in which an entrance to a passage leading to the center of the earth is found on Snaefellsjokull. It is said that the glacier has a mystical power and is one of the eight points of power in the world.

During your tour, enjoy the explanations of your local guide about the geology of the region and the glacier and several photo stops.

·        This tour involves walking on uneven and slippery ground, steep snow. We recommend you wear warm clothes, good hiking shoes, hat and gloves. This excursion is not recommended for persons suffering from back problems. Occasionally, although rarely, it might happen that visitors do not reach the top because of unfavorable weather conditions. This is a sightseeing tour on a snow-cat. There will be time to walk on the glacier but this is not a glacier hike. The tour is very much weather dependent. Due to varying weather conditions in the area, we reserve the right to cancel the tour with short notice.
