Tour in elicottero dei crateri Laki da Skaftafell

Take off from Skaftafell Terminal on this up to 75-minute helicopter tour in Iceland and travel into Iceland’s remote highlands to explore the Laki crater chain. This experience combines a scenic flight over glaciers and volcanic terrain with a landing in the highlands near the crater system.

Cosa aspettarsi

After departure, your pilot will guide the route based on weather and visibility, heading west across Vatnajökull’s southern outlet glaciers toward the highlands. As the landscape changes, you’ll fly over lava fields and volcanic formations shaped by past eruptions.

Approaching Lakagígar, the 25 km-long rows of craters become visible, stretching across the landscape. From the air, the scale of the eruption landscape becomes clear, with crater formations and moss-covered lava fields extending in all directions.

The tour includes landing at a carefully selected location in the highlands near the crater system. Here, you can step out, take photos, and experience the scale of the surroundings from the ground. The exact landing site varies depending on conditions, but each location is chosen for its views of the surrounding highland scenery.
