Description

  • Itinerary

Take off on the ultimate up to 90-minute flight from Skaftafell Terminal and witness Iceland’s full spectrum of natural wonders. Soar across Vatnajökull’s mighty glaciers, trace the vast Laki Crater chain, and admire the sweeping braided rivers and black-sand plains of Skeiðarársandur — before heading inland to the rainbow-colored rhyolite peaks of Landmannalaugar in the remote highlands. 

What to Expect 
  • Cross the mighty Vatnajökull outlet glaciers, with fractured icefalls and icy tongues spilling into the lowlands. 
  • Fly over the Laki Crater chain, nearly 25 km long, created by Iceland’s largest recorded eruption in 1783–1784. 
  • Admire the sweeping patterns of braided glacial rivers carving their way across Skeiðarársandur. 
  • Soar above Iceland’s vast black-sand plains, shaped by volcanic ash and glacial floods. 
  • See the colorful rhyolite peaks of Landmannalaugar, adding a highland jewel to your flightseeing adventure.
