Description
Take off from Reykjavík on this ~120-minute helicopter tour in Iceland and experience Iceland’s natural contrasts in a single journey. This tour combines a glacier landing with a geothermal landing, offering a unique perspective on the forces that shape the landscape.
What to Expect
After departure, your pilot will guide the route based on weather, visibility, and current conditions, flying inland across mountain ranges, valleys, and volcanic terrain.
The first landing takes place on or near a glacier, where you can step out and experience the stillness and scale of Iceland’s ice-covered landscape. After returning to the helicopter, the tour continues toward the Hengill geothermal area.
Here, you’ll land in a remote geothermal valley shaped by steam vents, hot springs, and mineral-rich ground. This second landing offers a contrasting environment, highlighting the difference between Iceland’s glacial and geothermal landscapes. Together, these landings reveal the contrast between ice and heat that defines Iceland’s landscape.
The return flight offers views over varied terrain, including mountains, lava fields, and the wider Reykjavík region.
