  • Itinerary

We take off from Reykjavik Airport and watch the colorful houses of Reykjavik get smaller beneath us as we set aim for the Hengill geothermal area. While flying out of Reykjavik you might get to enjoy seeing some iconic sites of Reykjavik like Hallgrímskirkja Church and Harpa Concert Hall.

The Hengill geothermal area covers an area of about 100 km2 and is one of the largest high-temperature geothermal zones in Iceland and is connected to three volcanic systems. The last eruption in the area was over 2000 years ago but the steaming fumaroles and many hot springs in the area show that there is still lava close to the surface The area is an important source of energy for the south of Iceland with two power stations harnessing the energy at Hengill, Nesjavallavirkjun, and Hellisheiðisvirkjun power plants.

The Hengill area consists of old lava fields, steaming hot springs and fumaroles, colorful mountains, geothermal power plants, and craters and we will be making a landing at a remote location to explore the raw and untamed area away from crowds. You will get to see boiling hot springs and enjoy the beautiful colors caused by the gases rising from the earth and take some amazing pictures to show your friends at home.

After enjoying the area we hop onboard the helicopter again and take a striking return route back, flying over mountains, valleys, and lava fields before we land back at Reykjavik Airport.
