Volcano Craters & Hot Springs Landing — Helicopter Tour from Reykjavík

Take off from Reykjavík on this ~90-minute helicopter tour in Iceland, exploring the volcanic landscapes of the Reykjanes Peninsula before continuing inland to the remote Hengill geothermal area. This extended journey combines recent eruption sites, lava fields, and craters with a landing in a steaming geothermal valley—offering a broader perspective of Iceland’s geology from air and ground.

What to Expect

After departure, your pilot will guide the route based on weather and conditions, first flying across the Reykjanes Peninsula. From above, you’ll see volcanic craters, fissures, and lava fields formed during recent eruptions, along with rugged coastline and open terrain.

The journey then continues inland toward the Hengill geothermal area, where the landscape shifts to steaming vents, hot springs, and mineral-rich ground shaped by ongoing geothermal activity.

Here, the helicopter will land at a carefully selected location, allowing you to step out and experience the geothermal landscape up close.

After the landing, you’ll return to Reykjavík by air, with views over mountains, valleys, and surrounding terrain.

You may see:

• Volcanic craters and fissures on the Reykjanes Peninsula
• Lava fields shaped by recent eruptions
• Hengill geothermal area with steam vents and hot springs
• Mountain landscapes and surrounding terrain
