SPECIAL EVENT – Summer Solstice Tour to Langjökull Glacier from Gullfoss

About this activity

Celebrate the longest day of the year in the most extraordinary way possible! On Saturday, June 21st, join us for a Special Event Summer Solstice Tour to the summit of Langjökull Glacier. Departing at 19:30 (7:30 PM) from Gullfoss, this late-evening expedition takes you into the heart of the Icelandic Highlands to witness the legendary Midnight Sun.

While the rest of the world sleeps, you’ll be traversing Europe’s second-largest glacier aboard our world-famous Sleipnir Monster Truck. With 21 hours of daylight and a sun that barely dips below the horizon, you’ll experience the “Golden Hour” like never before—surrounded by shimmering ice, Nordic legends, and a sky that refuses to turn dark.

🌟 Tour Highlights

• Midnight Sun on the Glacier: Experience the surreal beauty of the Summer Solstice as the sun hovers on the horizon, bathing the glacier in endless pink and gold light.

• The World’s Largest Glacier Truck: Ride in the massive 8-wheel Sleipnir Monster Truck, offering unparalleled safety and panoramic views through oversized windows.

• Pop-Up Glacier Café: Sip hot cocoa, tea, or coffee and enjoy a traditional Icelandic Kleina (pastry) in the middle of the ice cap.

• Nordic Mythology & Folklore: Listen to local guides share ancient tales of the Norse gods and the hidden secrets of the Icelandic Highlands.

• Midnight Glacier Golf & Sledding: Take your social media game to the next level by playing a round of golf or sledding under the midnight sky.

• Once-in-a-Lifetime Timing: A rare evening departure (19:30) specifically designed to capture the solstice phenomenon away from the daytime crowds.
