Glacier Journey - Iceland

Glacier Journey - Iceland We specialize in Glacier tours in the Vatnajökull National Park area. Glacier Journey is a local family business owned and run by the couple Laufey and Gulli.

They live in the countryside and have four children and 8 grandchildren. Their combined experience is counted in decades, although there are not that old! Laufey is a certificated guide with over 18 years of experience in glacier journeys. Laufey is born and raised in the realm of the Vatnajökull glacier. Gulli has over 40 years of experience in snowmobiling and glacier journeys, he is a car mecha

nic and worked as such when glacier journeys were only their hobby. Gulli is born and raised in the realm of the Mýrdalsjökull glacier, which is about 270 km south of the Vatnajökull glacier area. Tours we offer:

The standard version of our snowmobile tour has two persons riding together on a snowmobile. If you prefer to ride alone you can choose the solo rider option. However, if you are travelling solo or in a group of odd numbers 1, 3, 5, etc., you need to book at least one solo rider, as we do not pair you with another solo traveller.

As many of you might know, there was a tragic accident in a guided ice cave tour in Breiðamerkurjökull yesterday.
We just want let everyone know that even though Glacier Journey has been operating ice cave tours for many years, that we have never and will never operate ice cave tours during summer time.
Our ice cave tours are only operated during winter months.
Our thoughts are with everyone that were involved in that tragic accident and their loved once, as well as everyone in the rescue team. ❤️‍🩹

Í kjölfar hræðilegs slyss sem átti sér stað í Breiðamerkurjökli í gær höfum við fengið ótal símhringingar og skilaboð.
Við viljum bara koma því á framfæri að Glacier Journey hefur hvorki fyrr né síðar stundað íshellaferðir á sumrin.
Okkar íshellaferðir eru eingöngu yfir vetrarmánuðina.
Hugur okkar er hjá þeim sem í slysinu lentu og þeirra aðstandendum, sem og björgunarfólkinu öllu sem kemur að björgunaraðgerðunum. ❤️‍🩹

Two tourists remain trapped in a collapsed ice cave, as a third was pronounced dead at the scene.

Yesterday evening we had an amazing snowmobile tour with the staff from Seljavellir guesthouse 🎉The weather was perfect and it was so much fun 🌞😎
We never have a dull moment at work 🥳

Í gærkvöldi fórum við í geggjaða snjósleðaferð með starfsfólkið sem vinnur á Gistihúsið Seljavellir🎉 Veðrið var æðislegt og það var svo gaman 🌞😎 Okkur leiðist aldrei nokkurn tímann í vinnunni 🥳

Yesterday was an amazing day at the office🎉 We went to Kverkfjöll with such a fun family from Australia🌍 Crossing Vatnajökull was no big deal for the Australians who had never stepped foot on a snowmobile before 💪

Í gær var ótrúlega gaman á skrifstofunni🎉 Við skruppum í Kverkfjöll með æðislegri fjölskyldu frá Ástralíu 🌍 Að þvera Vatnajökul var sko ekki mikið mál fyrir Ástralana sem höfðu aldrei stigið á vélsleða fyrr💪

Join our Super Jeep Black Beach tour and drive with us on the black sand beaches. We will see the ruins of our first local airport and the lighthouse Hvanneyjarviti.

You get to see one of Iceland’s toughest entrance to Höfn harbour, where we can see seals spying on us while we look at the amazing view of the mountains all around us.

Finally we travel to a mesmerizing Glacial lagoon that lies beneath Fláajökull or Heinabergsjökull. There is a big herd of reindeer that we are often so lucky to see on our way to the lagoon.

Ice Cave season is just around the corner. One thing not to miss when travelling in winter to Iceland are the ice caves. The most stunning ones are for sure those found beneath Vatnajökull glacier, as you can clearly see in the photo. So, who's ready to go there with us?

We are happy to announce that we have built a wheelchair ramp for easier access to our Base Camp. We have had quite a few people in wheelchairs on our snowmobile and super jeep tours and we are happy to have even more in the future. We have now made better access for everyone 😎
These pictures are from a snowmobile tour with Dave & Aubrey, who have sadly been turned down from a lot of adventures all over the world just because Dave is in a wheelchair.

Við erum ánægð og stolt að tilkynna að við höfum smíðað hjólastólaramp að móttökunni okkar. Við höfum farið með nokkra viðskiptavini sem nota hjólastóla í snjósleða og jeppaferðarnar okkar og við tökum glöð á móti fleirum í framtíðinni. Við höfum nú bætt aðgengi fyrir öll 😎
Þessar myndir eru úr snjósleðaferð með Dave & Aubrey, en þeim hefur því miður verið vísað frá mörgum ævintýrum um allan heim eingöngu vegna þess að Dave er í hjólastól.

The vast Vatnajökull ice cap is a perfect playground for everybody who likes to go on a snowmobile ride. Endless options for paths to take, and so many rewarding views. 😍

By the way: Driving a snowmobile is not that hard and the basics are easy and quick to learn. So even if you've never tried it before - don't worry, we got you covered. 😎
As long as you have a driver's license, we arrange a short introduction, and off we go to your next big adventure!

Skemmtileg tilbreyting í ferðunum okkar á Illakamb að hitta Háhólsgeiturnar. Við erum alltaf með brauð í bílnum til að gefa þeim ef við erum svo heppin að hitta á þær.

It's always so much fun when we get to meet the goats from Háhóll on our tours to Illikambur. We always have some bread in the car to give to them if we see them.

The past few days and weeks have reminded us of just how unpredictable Icelandic weather can be. You always have to be on your toes and be flexible. The weather doesn't care about us, we are a tiny part of nature. We just have to go with the flow. We have had to go with the flow a lot these last few weeks and our guests have been so flexible and amazing :)
