About this experience
Take to the skies for a private helicopter adventure across Iceland’s legendary volcanic landscapes and glaciers.
Your aerial journey begins above the Reykjanes Peninsula, a hotspot of volcanic activity that has undergone remarkable changes since 2021. Recent eruptions have sculpted brand-new lava fields and craters, offering a rare glimpse into Earth’s raw, evolving power. While we can't guarantee active lava flows, the shifting terrain tells its own striking story.
From there, you’ll soar past the Hengill volcanic system, where geothermal energy powers the region, and glide over Þingvellir National Park—a UNESCO World Heritage Site rich in geological and historical significance. Continue on past the vast Skjaldbreiður shield volcano.
Weather permitting, we’ll touch down on a glacier for an unforgettable pause surrounded by panoramic views and deep tranquility.
On the return to Reykjavík, witness Glymur, Iceland’s tallest waterfall, cascading through a dramatic canyon.
