Why it's on Icebreaker

Monster Truck on Langjökull

Sleipnir is an eight-wheeled monster bus that rolls over crevasses as if they were speed bumps, and the ride up onto Langjökull is half the point. You meet at the upper Gullfoss car park, transfer to the truck base and climb about 30 km onto Iceland's second-largest glacier, where a pop-up café serves hot chocolate and kleinur, you drink water straight off the ice and, weather permitting, sledge the slopes or putt a round of glacier golf. The ice-cave version walks you into a natural cave streaked with black ash from old eruptions; when Grapevine rode Sleipnir out to a newly found one, they came back describing a cathedral of ice in a dozen shades of blue. Four hours from Gullfoss; a Golden Circle combination runs from Reykjavík. Which cave is open depends on the ice.

From the Icebreaker app, curated with The Reykjavík Grapevine.

About this tour

Journey along the Golden Circle and take in the outstanding sights of Þingvellir National Park, where Iceland’s first parliament was held and the continental drift between tectonic plates is clearly visible. Continue to the Geysir geothermal area, where the spouting hot spring Strokkur erupts every 5–7 minutes, and marvel at Gullfoss waterfall, cascading in two dramatic steps into a 35-meter-deep canyon.

From Gullfoss, begin your ultimate Glacier and Ice Cave adventure aboard one of the largest Glacier Trucks! The blue colour of the natural ice cave inspired us to give it the name "Neptune ice cave" like the blue emerald!

Our enthusiastic and knowledgeable guides will lead you across the awe-inspiring Langjökull Glacier, sharing fascinating glacier facts and authentic local stories along the way.

Walk into a ice cave, hidden deep within the glacier! The crystal-clear ice, often streaked with black volcanic ash from ancient eruptions, creates a truly otherworldly scene.

Don’t forget your camera—this mesmerizing landscape offers unparalleled photo opportunities you won’t want to miss!
