Itinerary
Gullfoss Waterfall Meeting Point
Location: Make your way to Road 35 and find the upper parking area of Gullfoss Waterfall. Right there, you'll spot the 'Gullfoss - Panorama Restaurant - Cafe - Shop'. If you happen to park in the lower area, no worries! Just head back to the main road and take a right turn uphill. Here’s a map to help you: Google Maps Link
Meeting Time: Get there by 12:45 PM so your adventure can start on time.
Vehicles to Look for: In the warmer months keep an eye out for a white Mercedes Benz Bus displaying the Red Monster Bus graphic. We use this bus in months when the road to the glacier is accessible to larger vehicles. When the road is closed due to heavy snow, look for one of our Red Monster Glacier Buses.
Langjökull Glacier Adventure
Beginning: Once aboard the Sleipnir Monster Glacier Truck, pick one of the comfortable seats. Our adventure's about to begin!
Traveling to the Glacier: We'll travel a marvelous road to Langjökull, the 'Long Glacier'. Every turn reveals a new, beautiful sight. This location was challenging to reach in the past, but with our Monster Glacier Truck, we can get there safely.
Icelandic Melodies: When you will journey, the soothing sounds of Icelandic music will fill the air inside Glacier Truck. It's a special touch, letting you truly immerse in the Icelandic atmosphere while appreciating the breathtaking landscapes outside.
Fun on the Glacier: As we arrive at the vast glacier, you will be introduced to an array of fun and glacier activities. Feel the thrill of stepping into a world unlike any other, where every moment is a new discovery. There will never be a dull moment atop the ice.
Stories Along the Way: From start to finish, our guides, reservoirs of glacier knowledge and folklore, will keep you entertained. Their tales are as captivating as the scenery outside.
Refresh & Refuel: After some exploring, there will be time for a little break. You will have a chance to taste the purest water straight from the glacier and enjoy warm drinks like cocoa and tea. At our glacier cafeteria, you'll also have a chance to savor Jökla liqueur and sample Kleina, a traditional Icelandic treat.
Pictures Time: The stunning beauty all around is worth capturing. You'll have a chance to snap some photos to remember these epic moments!
