A helicopter flight to the Hengill geothermal area, with a landing among steam vents, hot springs, and colorful volcanic terrain.

Take off from Reykjavík on this ~60-minute helicopter tour in Iceland and explore the Hengill geothermal area, one of Iceland’s most active geothermal regions. This experience combines a scenic flight over volcanic landscapes with a landing in a remote geothermal valley.

What to Expect

After departure, your pilot will guide the route based on weather, visibility, and current conditions, flying from Reykjavík toward the Hengill area. As you leave the city behind, the landscape transitions into lava fields, mountain ridges, and geothermal terrain.

From above, you’ll see steam rising from the ground, along with hot springs and geothermal vents scattered across the valley. The route may also include views of nearby geothermal power plants and surrounding volcanic formations.

The tour includes a landing in a remote geothermal valley, where you can step out and experience the environment up close. Here, you’ll find bubbling mud pools, steam vents, and mineral-colored ground in a calm and accessible setting.
