Helicopter & Scenic Flights

See Iceland the way few ever do — from the air. Our helicopter and scenic flight tours lift you above glaciers, volcanoes, geothermal fields and remote highlands for a perspective that’s simply impossible from the ground. Land on a glacier summit, hover over a steaming crater, or take in the whole Reykjanes volcanic zone in a single sweeping flight.

These flights are a once-in-a-lifetime way to grasp the scale and drama of Iceland’s geology, with experienced pilots and unforgettable photo opportunities at every turn.

Best time to go: Year-round, weather permitting — clear, calm days offer the best visibility and the smoothest flights.

Frequently asked questions

What can I see on a scenic flight?

Depending on the route: glaciers, active and dormant volcanoes, geothermal areas, waterfalls, the highlands and the coastline — often with a glacier or mountain landing.

Do helicopter tours include a landing?

Many do, such as a landing on a glacier or near a volcanic site, letting you step out and take in the surroundings. Check each tour's itinerary.

Are flights affected by weather?

Yes — flights depend on safe weather and visibility, so they may be rescheduled. Operators monitor conditions closely for safety.

How long do scenic flights last?

They range from short 20–30 minute hops to longer expeditions of an hour or more, depending on the route chosen.

Is it suitable for nervous flyers?

Helicopter flights are smooth and the views are absorbing, but if you're anxious, choose a shorter flight and let the operator know.
