An extended flight covering glaciers, volcanoes, black sands, and remote highlands.
Take off from Skaftafell Terminal on this up to 90-minute airplane tour in Iceland and experience the full range of landscapes that define South Iceland and the Icelandic highlands. This extended route combines glaciers, volcanic terrain, river systems, and remote mountain areas in a single flight.
After departure, your pilot will guide the route based on weather and visibility, covering a wide area west and inland from Skaftafell. The flight begins over Vatnajökull’s outlet glaciers before continuing into the highlands.
Along the route, you may fly over volcanic features such as the Lakagígar crater chain, as well as colorful mountain areas around Landmannalaugar. The landscape shifts between lava fields, crater formations, and wide highland plains as the flight progresses.
On the return, the route may include black sand plains and glacial river systems, where meltwater shapes the land into broad, braided patterns.
This is the most extensive airplane tour from Skaftafell, bringing together a wide range of Iceland’s landscapes in a single flight. It’s well-suited for those who want a longer experience and a broad overview of glaciers, volcanic terrain, and highland regions from above.
