Helicopter tour over the Reykjanes eruption sites and Þórisjökull glacier, with a remote landing, via Þingvellir, Hengill, and Glymur.

The Experience

This is Iceland in its most iconic form, a landscape written in extremes. It is a journey into the pulse of the Earth, tracing a story of geological collision where fire forged the terrain and glaciers carved it into beauty. Flying over raw lava fields one moment and ancient ice caps the next, you witness the incredible balance of forces that continue to shape this island every single day.

The Details

This tour covers the most significant recent eruption sites on the Reykjanes Peninsula, specifically the Fagradalsfjall and Sundhnúkur areas. While volcanic activity is unpredictable and sightings of flowing lava or active eruptions cannot be guaranteed, seeing these fresh geological formations from above is extraordinary. The route then pivots past the steaming Hengill volcanic system and the tectonic rifts of Þingvellir toward the Þórisjökull glacier for a remote landing, returning via the deep canyons of Hvalfjörður and Glymur Waterfall.
