Summary:
Interesting excursion. Start at Husafell activity centre where you can get some food and drink (and toilets). Big bus takes you to the starting point where you kitted out with your gear if you go onto the snowmobile. Last stop for toilets flr a while😁 a special big truck takes you onto the glacier where you put on crampons to explore the tunnels with your guide. Surreal to be inside the glacier. We then went to the snowmobiles where unfortunately i started feeling really unwell and did not want to chance passing out during the drive, so my partner went by himself. My partner really enjoyed the drive (just a shame some people feel the need to hold everyone up because they want to record themselves on the snowmobiles and do their own thing, even after the guide asking them to drive single file etc several times). Great excursion though that takes about 4 hours. The guide will take your phone to take pictures of you on the snowmobile if you want.
