Helicopter Tours in Iceland

About helicopter tours

Why fly in Iceland

Iceland's landscape was sculpted by fire and ice — and a helicopter is the only practical way to see both in a single afternoon. Tours from Reykjavík cross the young lava fields of the Reykjanes Peninsula and the active volcanic systems of Fagradalsfjall and Geldingadalir, with optional landings on glacial plateaus such as Langjökull or Þórisjökull. Longer expeditions reach the geothermal heart of the highlands, the steaming Hveravellir hot springs and the rhyolite mountains of Landmannalaugar. Because so much of Iceland's interior is roadless, helicopters reach in 30 minutes places that would take days on foot. Icelandic pilots are among the most experienced in Europe, regularly supporting search-and-rescue and volcanic monitoring missions — and the combination of glacier landings, volcano flyovers and Northern Lights chasing is unique on earth.
