Helicopter Tour from Reykjavik: Hengill Area with at site landing

About this experience

We whisk you on a magical journey across the Hellisheiði plateau; Iceland’s most active volcanic area. Flying over the lava-covered fields interspersed with bright basalt mountains, steaming hot springs, and rows of cairns snaking in the distance the beautifully beaten rock and moss-laded lava fields; you will witness Iceland’s bewitching regions of raw energy first-hand.
