    Glacier tour

    Great tour. Very friendly staff, interactive and informative! Two stops on the glacier which were fun, including a little play on the ice! Recommend this for a good half day tour.

    Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your 5-star review! We’re delighted you enjoyed your time with us and had fun on the glacier. We truly appreciate your recommendation!

    Great day out...and ask the guide for their souvenirs!

    Worth it for the bragging rights alone! Enjoyed bob sledding, doing my best not to fall over (crampons were available but I had fun sliding around without them), taking too many pictures and finishing up by drinking pure Icelandic glacial water fresh from the glacier. The guide was charming and had a repetoir of fun facts, Icelandic music (be sure to request: Jaja Ding Dong), and puns to keep us entertained between stops. Highly recommend. Ask for the Sleipnir merch, most reasonably priced souvenirs in Iceland.

    Response from the operator: Thank you so much for the fantastic review! We’re delighted you had such a fun day with us on the glacier. And yes, “Jaja Ding Dong” song has definitely become famous thanks to movie from Will Ferrell: The Story of Fire Saga! We’ll be sure to pass that on to the team. Thank you for the recommendation!

    A Glorious Experience

    My family and I had the best time ever. The driver expertly and flawlessly drove on the glacier and snow and the tour guide gave out such great information that kept you engaged. They made a great team for a great experience. This was our daughter's first time seeing snow ever as we are from Florida, USA and the experience will be forever memorable and priceless. Thank you!

    Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your wonderful review! It means a lot to our team to know that we could be part of such a special family memory. We’ll be sure to pass your kind words on to our driver and guide. Thank you for choosing Sleipnir Tours and for taking the time to share your experience with us!

    Red Glacier Monster Truck on Langjokull Glacier from Gulfoss: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Reykjavik.

    How much does Red Glacier Monster Truck on Langjokull Glacier from Gulfoss cost?

    +

    Prices start at $95 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Reykjavik usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Red Glacier Monster Truck on Langjokull Glacier from Gulfoss take?

    +

    Plan for about 4 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Reykjavik is not rushed.

    Is Red Glacier Monster Truck on Langjokull Glacier from Gulfoss worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 82 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 204 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Reykjavik, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Red Glacier Monster Truck on Langjokull Glacier from Gulfoss?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Red Glacier Monster Truck on Langjokull Glacier from Gulfoss suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 4-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Red Glacier Monster Truck on Langjokull Glacier from Gulfoss?

    +

    Around 71 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Reykjavik can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Reykjavik and add a light layer if any part of the 4-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Red Glacier Monster Truck on Langjokull Glacier from Gulfoss start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Reykjavik within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Reykjavik?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Reykjavik experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Reykjavik Food Walk - Local Foodie Adventure in Iceland, Silfra Snorkeling Between Continents Photos Included- Self Drive, Small-Group Golden Circle, Blue Lagoon with Ticket & Kerid Crater. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Reykjavik?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Reykjavik?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

    What is included in Red Glacier Monster Truck on Langjokull Glacier from Gulfoss?

    +

    Included: Kleinur (Icelandic pastry); On-board WiFi; Drinks (Jökla , hot chocolate, tea); Spikes/Crampons; and On-board restrooms. Not included: Waterproof hiking shoes and warm clothes. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Where is the meeting point for Red Glacier Monster Truck on Langjokull Glacier from Gulfoss?

    +

    The meeting point is in the UPPER GULLFOSS parking space. The Sleipnir transfer bus is located at the parking space on the opposite side of Gullfosskaffi. It´s best to be there 15 minutes prior to departure. Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.

    What languages is Red Glacier Monster Truck on Langjokull Glacier from Gulfoss offered in?

    +

    It runs in English. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.

    Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Red Glacier Monster Truck on Langjokull Glacier from Gulfoss?

    +

    Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.

    What happens to Red Glacier Monster Truck on Langjokull Glacier from Gulfoss if the weather is bad?

    +

    This experience depends on good weather. If it is canceled because of poor weather, you are offered a different date or a full refund.

    What do travelers say about Red Glacier Monster Truck on Langjokull Glacier from Gulfoss?

    +
