Glacier Edge Helicopter Tour from Skaftafell (No Landing)

Take off from Skaftafell Terminal on this 30-minute helicopter tour in Iceland and explore the edges of Vatnajökull from above. This flight focuses on glacier valleys, icefalls, and ridgelines, offering a close aerial perspective that’s only possible by helicopter.

Was Sie erwarten sollten

After departure, your pilot will guide the route based on weather and visibility, flying along several of Vatnajökull’s outlet glaciers. You’ll pass through narrow glacier valleys and along steep ice formations where crevasses and icefalls shape the landscape.

From the helicopter, you’ll experience the scale and texture of the glacier at close range, flying lower and closer to the terrain than is possible on fixed-wing flights, with views toward surrounding peaks and volcanic terrain.
