Why fly over 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 fly over the Reykjanes Peninsula's young lava fields and the volcanic systems of Fagradalsfjall and Geldingadalir, with optional landings on glacial plateaus such as Langjökull or Þórisjökull. Longer tours 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. Pilots are also some of the most experienced in Europe, regularly supporting search-and-rescue and volcanic monitoring missions.
