We ended up not being able to snowmobile due to lack of snow in Iceland! The Southcoast adventure tour team lead was awesome and got us in another tour right away! So helpful and accommodating, we ended up doing a 2.5 hour buggy tour and couldn’t recommend it more! Our tour guide was a ranger as well as search and rescue, so felt very safe but also was able to see the coolest terrain! The buggy’s were absolutely phenomenal as well as the landscape. Would recommend to anyone coming to Iceland

Once in a lifetime experience.

Incredible experience. Amazing views. The guides were great and very friendly. The ride to the sleds was as exciting as the snowmobiling.

Response from Host, Mar 2026

Incredible experience

Sun_S, Jan 2026

Overall, we had an incredible experience. Due to weather, they had to change the itinerary from snowmobiling to driving buggies along the tundra by the glacier. This turned out to be an amazing trip full of adventure and so many beautiful sights. I probably took 50 pictures and the sunset lasted forever.. The guides were excellent, and we felt very taken care of and safe.

Response from Host, Jan 2026

Thank you so much for your wonderful feedback! We’re thrilled to hear that, despite the weather-related change in plans, your experience turned into such a memorable adventure. The buggy ride along the tundra truly offers spectacular views, especially with those long, unforgettable sunsets—and it sounds like you captured them perfectly! We’re also very happy to know our guides made you feel safe and well taken care of throughout the trip. We truly appreciate you joining us and hope to welcome you back for another adventure soon!

Phenomenal

Dear Shana, Thank you for the wonderful feedback, and for taking the time to leave us a review. We are glad to hear that despite of the change of tour, you still had a great time with us with the alternative provided. Our Buggy adventure truly is a fun and safe way to explore the wonders of Þórsmörk. Hope you made lots of new memories!

Not so great … done this in January with another company through Viator and was much better

Emily_S, Apr 2024

This glacier was not very remarkable Having done this before with another tour company I know the difference… they did not supply boots for gloves, and that was a surprise. We went in our own footwear with just regular gloves. The last company I did this with gave us head to tow gear and that was a great comfort.

Great - totally worth the $$$$

Riddhi_P, Mar 2024

We had a great experience with snowmobiling. While it was raining in Vik, we had IDEAL weather for our excursion. We had a full tour of ~11 people. After about a 30 min ride into the mountains and onto the Glacier, we were led further into the mountains on the snowmobiles. We had several stops along the journey to take pictures, ride around on the snowmobiles freely, and walk around on the fresh powder. Many people in my family said it was one of their favorite excursions they have ever done. Being given free time to play on these awesome and powerful machines was something we had not experienced before. Highly recommend!

Excellent guides

Daniel_G, Mar 2024

Not only did we enjoy an exceptional snowmobile tour, we also got a great history lesson on the ride up and down the mountain.

Not worth it

Katherine_W, Mar 2023

If this was just on our tour guide Robert I'd give this a 5/5, he was great and I really enjoyed him. And the view was gorgeous. But overall, I wouldn't recommend this company again, because 1. When signing up, I bought 2 tickets for me and my partner and there's nothing that says we have to share a snowmobile but after arriving all 3 couples had to share their designated snowmobile. I let my partner drive because he loves "toys" but tbh I was really looking forward to that and I would have paid more or gotten a different putting if I had known we had to share. 2. And this REALLY irks me. I had picked the 2 PM slot for us and we were both really looking forward to it because we had been traveling from reykavik to vik and had done the northern lights the night before we were tired and looking forward to having an easy morning. The night before I check my email and see something from the company that says they "had to cancel the 2pm slot because of a storm could we come to the 10pm slot instead", we obviously didn't want to miss this experience so we said yes. But LO AND BEHOLD, at the very end of our tour, Robert mentioned he had another group coming in for the 2pm slot, so this company straight up LIED TO ME to get us to switch spots. Which is so unacceptable. Just be honest. If you overbooked, you overbooked, but why lie to me? Also, I prepared for that slot and planned my vacation and picked that day MONTHS in advance. Yeah not cool. It was gorgeous, it was a fun time, Robert was great, but I dont recommend this company.

DO BOT BOOK THIS ! OVERPRICED & WRONG LOCATION

Christina_K, Mar 2023

DO NOT BOOK THIS TRIP ! For starters they are almost double the cost. Our friends went on an identical snowmobiling trip for 4 and paid $550. We paid close to $900 for 3 people. Second, the address is NOT CORRECT. We missed our reservation and they would not credit us or refund. YOU HAVE TO DOWNLOAD GOOGLE MAPS and enter “Southcoast Adventure” none of which is explained in the details. We drove 30 minutes past the location. DO NOT BOOK THEM. SEARCH FOR SNOWMOBILING THROUGH PRIVATE SITES. DONT USE VIATOR OR SOUTHCOAST. WE REGRET IT COMPLETELY. WORST PART OF ICELAND WAS THIS COMPANY.

Response from Host, Apr 2023

Dear Christine, Thank you for taking the time to leave a feedback about your experience. We do remember your reservation had some issues with finding the right location, even though we had spoken on the phone before multiple times before the tour and explain how to get there. You were at the right location as we discover after. Our indications are easy to follow but we do understand that it can be confused. As you weren't at the right location we couldn't offer you a refund but we did offer the chance to join in the next day, it wasn't just the best solution for your case. We have a variety of tour available we would be more than happy to take on another tour to show you a great time.

What a rush!

Benjamin_H, Mar 2022

We had a great experience snowmobiling with B - even though it was white out conditions for most of our trip. You meet at Suncoast Adventures on the right about 5 minutes down the road from Gljufrabui waterfall. You get suited up and then they drive you up to the glacier where the snowmobiles are parked. It was a great time!
