This 1-hour helicopter tour in Iceland offers a perspective few travelers ever experience. From the air, you can take in vast craters, valleys, and glaciers in a way that no road or trail can match.
With only 5 to 6 passengers per group, the experience feels personal and relaxed, giving you time to enjoy the views, take photos, and ask questions. It’s a safe and thrilling adventure for families, combining a scenic flight, glacier landing, and a walk inside an ice cave. It’s one of the most memorable ways to explore Iceland.
Your journey begins at Tungufell Airfield, about 73 miles (117 kilometers) from Reykjavik. The airfield is also conveniently located near two of Iceland’s most famous attractions, just 9 miles (15 kilometers) from Gullfoss Waterfall and 7 miles (12 kilometers) from the Geysir Geothermal Area.
After meeting your pilot and guide, you will board the helicopter for a flight over volcanic craters, steaming valleys, and rugged highlands. From above, the views stretch endlessly, with snowcapped mountains and glaciers unfolding beneath you in every direction.
The helicopter lands right on Langjokull Glacier, the second largest ice cap in Iceland. Known as the “Long Glacier,” it covers about 361 square miles (935 square kilometers). It stretches across the Western Highlands and feeds into some of the country’s most famous rivers and waterfalls.
As you step out, the crisp air greets you, and the crunch of ice echoes under your feet. It’s a living glacier, slowly moving and shaping the land below.
Soon after, a professional glacier guide leads you into a man-made tunnel system carved deep within the ice on your Langjokull Ice Cave tour. Soft lights illuminate the walls, revealing mesmerizing shades of blue and white and the layered history of snow and ice formed over thousands of years.
As you walk through the Langjokull Ice Cave, you can run your hand along the frozen walls and see the patterns shaped by time and pressure. Few places in the world allow you to step inside a glacier like this. With your guide explaining how these massive ice caps form and change, you gain a rare perspective on the natural forces behind the beauty surrounding you.
After exploring the ice tunnels, you will return to the helicopter for your scenic flight back to Tungufell Airfield, ending your adventure with one more look at Iceland’s unforgettable landscapes.
