The excitement begins the moment you step into the helicopter from Reykjavik's domestic airport, located near the city center. As the rotors start spinning and the city shrinks beneath you, you’ll feel the rush of adrenaline that comes with taking to the skies.
Flying in a helicopter is always exhilarating, but what makes this tour even more special are the stunning aerial views of Iceland’s dramatic landscapes. From the moment you leave Reykjavik, you’ll be treated to incredible sights that highlight the country’s natural beauty.
As you ascend, you’ll see Reykjavik’s colorful rooftops spread out beneath you, along with iconic landmarks such as the striking Perlan dome, towering Hallgrimskirkja church, and the beautiful Harpa Concert Hall.

These diverse landscapes, with their contrasting colors and textures, are just a preview of the awe-inspiring sights awaiting you at the Thrihnukagigur volcano.
After a thrilling flight, the helicopter will land near the volcano crater, where the volcanic adventure truly begins. Thrihnukagigur is the only volcano on Earth where you can descend into a magma chamber and stand inside the dormant heart of the volcano.
Although it has been inactive for more than 4,000 years, the volcano offers a unique opportunity for safe exploration. Your expert guide will provide you with all the necessary safety equipment, including harnesses and helmets, to ensure a secure and comfortable descent into the magma chamber.
Once inside, you’ll be amazed by the stunning variety of colors on the volcanic walls. From vivid reds, oranges, and yellows to cool greens and blues, the chamber looks like something out of a dream.
The natural beauty of the magma chamber is truly out of this world, and you’ll want to capture every moment with your camera. Your guide will also share fascinating insights into the volcano’s history and the geological forces that shaped it, giving you a deeper understanding of Iceland’s unique volcanic landscape.
After exploring the volcano’s interior, you’ll ascend back to the surface in the elevator and board the helicopter once more for your return flight to Reykjavik.
As you soar back over the breathtaking landscape, you’ll have time to reflect on the incredible experience you’ve just had. The combination of flying, exploring a volcano, and witnessing Iceland’s raw natural beauty will leave you with memories that last a lifetime.
