Epic 2-Hour Helicopter Tour over the Land of Fire and Ice from Reykjavik

Fly across Iceland's spectacular landscapes and land on a glacier and volcano with this exciting helicopter adventure. This tour departing from Reykjavik is a perfect opportunity for those who want to see why this country is called 'the Land of Fire and Ice' in the most unique and exhilarating ways.

You will meet your pilot at Reykjavik's Domestic Airport, easily accessible by car, taxi, or public bus from the city center. Your departure time, which has round-the-clock options for flexibility,  depends on the schedule you choose during booking.

The pilot will introduce you to your helicopter at the airport while providing a safety briefing. They will orient you on dos and don'ts while explaining the flight's route. Don't hesitate to ask questions if you want to clarify some things. 

Once ready, you will hop on board the helicopter, lift off, and begin to circle high above Reykjavik.

There is no better vantage point than the sky to look over the city's brightly colored, unique architecture and incredible surrounding nature. Some notable landmarks you might see in the city from the air are the Hallgrimskirkja church and Harpa Concert Hall.

After taking in the urban landscapes, the chopper will turn inland and soar towards Iceland's second-largest glacier, Langjokull, in the Highlands region.

From the skies, the glacier's endless ice and mountain cover are breathtaking. These impressive sights will be complemented by interesting commentary from your pilot, including information about the glacier's features and geological history.

You will land on Langjokull's pristine surface and disembark for a short walk around the ancient ice. The snowscapes of the glaciers are as mesmerizing as the views across the country's dramatic interior.

After plenty of time to take pictures, you will hop back aboard and take to the sky again. You will swoop across the ice cap, admiring its plunging crevasses and beautiful outlet tongues, before turning south. 

This leg of your journey will take you over the dramatic crater of Skjaldbreidur and the continental rift valley in the Thingvellir National Park.

Before returning to Reykjavik, you will make another landing on an old volcano still seething with bubbling hot springs and fumaroles. You will have another opportunity to disembark and explore the area, getting photos of this unique location far from the crowds.

Finally, after two hours of sightseeing and adventure, you will land back at the Reykjavik Domestic Airport. 

Do not miss this opportunity to immerse yourself in the land of ice and fire and feel the thrill of flying. Check availability now by choosing a date.
