  • Itinerary

Launching with the next eruption – the only evening and after-dark airplane tour of its kind in Iceland.

Depart from Reykjavík Airport for an unforgettable evening flight over an active eruption site. As darkness settles over the Reykjanes Peninsula, the volcano becomes the brightest point in the landscape — glowing lava, molten rivers, and illuminated plumes create a dramatic spectacle against the night sky.

Designed specifically for after-dark viewing, this tour offers one of the most striking ways to witness Iceland’s volcanic activity.

 What to Expect
  • Fly above the active eruption site and see glowing lava, molten rivers, and illuminated vents when conditions allow.
  • Experience the volcano at its most dramatic, with the lava glow standing out vividly against the night sky.
  • Enjoy atmospheric aerial views of Reykjavík’s city lights and the surrounding coastline.
  • Depending on visibility, catch a soft distant glow from the Blue Lagoon.
