Description
  • Details
  • Itinerary

Lift off from Reykjavík for a 45–60-minute helicopter flight over Iceland’s fiery Reykjanes Peninsula. Fly above the eruption sites from 2021–2025, active geothermal areas, and vast lava fields, before circling the Blue Lagoon. When safe, your pilot includes a lava-field landing – a chance to step onto Iceland’s newest ground.

What to Expect
  • Fly above the 2021–2025 Reykjanes eruption sites.
  • View steaming geothermal areas and fresh lava flows.
  • See how close lava fields have reached the Blue Lagoon.
  • Land on a lava field when conditions allow.

Why Choose This Tour

A short, dramatic flight that captures Iceland’s volcanic energy – ideal for those seeking a thrilling yet accessible helicopter adventure from Reykjavík.

The total duration extends to 60 minutes when landing is possible (i.e., no active eruption and safe conditions).

• 45–60-minute pilot-guided helicopter tour

• 1 lava-field landing when safe and permitted

• Headsets with live commentary

• Free parking at Reykjavík Airport

  • Minimum passenger requirement: 4 passengers. You’re welcome to book even if fewer — we’ll do our best to match you with other travelers.
  • Landing depends on weather and safety conditions. The total duration extends to 60 minutes when landing is possible (no active eruption and safe conditions).
  • The volcano is a natural wonder, and visible lava cannot be guaranteed at the time of your tour.
  • For safety reasons, children under 2 years old cannot join this tour. Exceptions may be discussed for private departures.

We recommend wearing closed, waterproof shoes and dressing warmly in layered, weather-appropriate clothing, as Icelandic conditions can change quickly.
