Itinerary

Vehicles to Look for: Our transfer bus is located close to the Sleipnir meeting point sign at the parking lot close to the road of Gullfoss Cafe. During winter time, you will spot the big red Monster Glacier Truck.

Langjökull Glacier Exploration

Beginning: The transfer to our main base where we keep the trucks is in a Highland bus. Once aboard the Monster Glacier Truck, pick one of the comfortable seats. Our adventure's about to begin!

Stories Along the Way: From start to finish, our guides, reservoirs of glacier knowledge and folklore, will keep you entertained. Their tales are as captivating as the scenery outside.

Traveling to the Glacier: We'll travel along the highland road to Langjökull, the 'Long Glacier'. Every turn reveals a new, beautiful sight. This location was challenging to reach in the past, but with our Monster Glacier Truck, we can get there safely.

Ice Cave Visit: Take a step into the glacier’s heart and marvel at the glittering facets of the crystal-clear ice that is lined with black ash frozen in time, and the subtle blue hues of the denser ice. Due to Iceland's volcanic activity, the glaciers often contain black volcanic ash from eruptions centuries ago, frozen within the ice.

Pictures Time: Inside the ice cave, glittering walls and a calm atmosphere greet you. Outside, the large glacier and nearby views are just as stunning.

Return to Gullfoss Waterfall

Journey's End: We end right where we began, at Gullfoss Waterfall. It’s a great time to think about all the fun you had and maybe share your stories and pictures with friends and family.
