Meet at Skjól between Geysir and Gullfoss, then ride a Super Truck to Langjökull’s base camp.

“Superb experience with excellent communication, equipment , guides and atmosphere - this is a must for anyone travelling to iceland. My only comment would be to the operators is “please ensure that people have licenses to drive other vehicles before allowing them on any skis we found some riders were a liability and caused more hazards than were needed” thanks 🤩”
