Icelandic Golden Circle & Monster Truck Glacier Adventure

About this activity

Combine Iceland’s most iconic landmarks with a high-adrenaline expedition on our Golden Circle and Monster Truck Glacier Tour. This “two-in-one” adventure takes you from the historic rift valleys of Þingvellir to the thundering Gullfoss waterfall, culminating in a massive 8-wheel Sleipnir Monster Truck ride onto the vast Langjökull Glacier.

This is not your average sightseeing tour. It is a full-day immersive experience where you can play Glacier Golf, sled down snowy slopes, and sip hot cocoa in a pop-up café in the middle of an ice cap. Perfect for families, thrill-seekers, and photographers, this tour offers the most comprehensive look at Iceland’s “Fire and Ice” in a single day.

🌟 Tour Highlights

• The Sleipnir Monster Truck: Conquer the rugged highlands and deep snow of Langjökull aboard a giant 8-wheel red monster truck—the ultimate way to experience the glacier in comfort and safety.

• Thingvellir National Park (UNESCO): Walk between the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates at the site of the world’s oldest parliament.

• Geysir Geothermal Area: Witness the explosive power of Strokkur, a hot spring that blasts boiling water 25 meters into the air every few minutes.

• Gullfoss (The Golden Falls): Stand at the edge of a massive canyon and feel the spray of Iceland’s most famous waterfall.

• Glacier Fun & Activities: Try your hand at Glacier Golf or go sledding on the ice (snow conditions permitting).

• Taste of Iceland: Enjoy a “Glacier Refreshment” featuring hot cocoa, traditional Kleina (Icelandic pastry), and a sample of Jökla liqueur.

🗺️ Your Itinerary: Fire, Ice & Folklore

01. Historical Wonders at Þingvellir After a morning pickup in Reykjavik, we head to Þingvellir National Park. Learn how the Icelandic parliament was founded here in 930 AD and marvel at the massive rift valley created by the drifting mid-Atlantic ridge.

02. The Steam of Geysir Next, we explore the colorful geothermal fields of Geysir. Watch the bubbling mud pots and the vibrant mineral deposits before standing in awe as Strokkur erupts—a perfect moment for your slow-motion camera!

03. The Monster Truck Ascent We leave the pavement behind and meet the Sleipnir Monster Truck. We’ll travel the historic Kjölur highland road, climbing onto the Langjökull Glacier. Your guide will navigate the “Long Glacier” while sharing authentic stories of the surrounding peaks.

04. Fun & Flavors on the Ice High on the glacier, we stop for a true Arctic break. Drink the world’s purest water straight from the ice, play a round of Glacier Golf, or zoom down a slope on a sled. Relax at our pop-up café with hot cocoa, tea, and a taste of the classic Kleina pastry.

05. The Power of Gullfoss After the glacier adventure, we visit the thundering Gullfoss Waterfall. Hike to the very edge of the falls to feel the mist and, if the sun is out, see rainbows dancing in the spray.

06. Relaxing Return Sink into the seats of our comfortable minibus for a scenic drive back to Reykjavík, reflecting on a day of giant trucks and ancient history.

🗣️ Why Choose the Sleipnir Experience?

While most tours stay at the edge of the glacier, we take you deep into its heart. The Sleipnir Monster Truck provides a smooth, stable, and safe ride over terrain that would stop a standard 4×4 in its tracks. Combined with our small-group Golden Circle tour, you get a premium experience that balances Iceland’s must-see history with an exclusive highland adventure you can’t find anywhere else.
