Airplane Tours

Come along on a scenic "flightseeing" tour over the infamous glacier volcano Eyjafjallajökull and the Icelandic highlands! This tour is for those who want to see it all. Enjoy the best views from the best seat, enjoying Icelandic nature to the fullest from high above. Locations include the lush area of Þórsmörk, a wonderful oasis nestled in the cradle of mountains and glacier, and the and colourful Landmannalaugar geothermal area surrounded by red, moss-topped mountains. You'll start by flying high above the Eyjafjallajökull's volcanic crater and see the charred and blackened ice and earth around it after the last eruption, which famously stopped all air traffic in Europe for a while. Then, you will continue over the glacier and pass over the glacier tongue Gígjökull, a part of the Mýrdalsjökull glacier, as well as the surrounding glacier tongues when they reach down to the Skógar countryside.  From there, the land is visible from the lowest coast to the highest peak, but the highest point of Mýrdalsjökull is just a few meters shy of 1500 m (almost 5000 ft!) over sea level. A bit further on you will pass over Jökulgil - the glacier canyon – and over to the Landmannalaugar area, where the mountains are painted with rustic red and the high tops of mountains all around lend it a fantasy-like image. In perfect visibility, you will see much of Iceland's wide highlands, over the great sands and glaciers to the east and the green and lush of the west, with the rocky north, shining brightly ahead. You'll get a sense of the immense size of the glaciers that this country holds and the openness of the cold and vast highlands.

Witness the incredible sights of Greenland on this immersive three-day tour. Do not miss your opportunity to experience life in an Inuit settlement, take a helicopter ride over an icefjord and enjoy a boat trip through an iceberg-filled bay. You will start this tour with a two-hour flight from Reykjavík Domestic Airport to the village of Kulusuk off Greenland's East Coast. You will transfer to a helicopter, soar over an icefjord on a breathtaking ten-minute flight, and land in the town of Tasiilaq. You will spend the rest of this day exploring this settlement’s history and culture, and its surrounding nature. Bring your hiking shoes, as there is a lot to see. On your second day, the only full day you will have here, you will enjoy a spectacle of icebergs. Leaving from the harbour, you will board a boat, and spend a seven-to-eight-hour cruise to one of two destinations, depending on the day of the week. The first of these is through the magnificent Sermilik Icefjord, a beautiful inlet filled with huge icebergs. The second will take you to the famous Knud Rasmussen Glacier. Both trips are incredible experiences. On day three, you will take another helicopter, back to the village of Kulusuk, for your return flight to Reykjavík. You will get back with enough time to enjoy your evening in Iceland’s capital. This excursion is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, to experience life in Greenland, and to see its nature at its very best. Do not miss your chance to immerse yourself in this remote and beautiful land. Check availability by choosing a date.

Take a flight over one of Iceland’s most iconic and beautiful glaciers with this plane ride over Snæfellsjökull. This tour should not be missed by anyone who wishes to see some of the most dramatic and spectacular landscapes of Iceland. You’ll start this once-in-a-lifetime adventure when you arrive at Reykjavík’s Domestic Airport, where you’ll meet your experienced pilot. They will provide you with a quick briefing on your flight route, before letting you board their little aircraft. When the signals allow, you’ll take to the skies, and watch the beautiful city of Reykjavík shrink beneath you. The views are immediately awe-inspiring; be sure to look out for the city’s landmarks such as Hallgrímskirkja church, as well as to admire the vibrant colours of the tin roofs of the houses. You will then fly north, over glistening seas and past beautiful mountains, as you head towards the Snæfellsnes Peninsula. This stretch of land has many volcanoes running down it, which culminate in Snæfellsjökull glacier itself on the very tip. This twin-peaked glacier and volcano has inspired people for centuries. It is best known from the Jules Verne novel ‘A Journey to the Centre of the Earth’, in which it was said to have a cave leading into the earth’s depths, but it is featured in many other works, such as Halldór Laxness’ ‘Under the Glacier’. Your pilot will fly you over its icy peaks, letting you peer into its great crater and marvel over its scale and the brightness of the snow. You will be left in little wonder as to why this glacier has been the subject of so many artists, nor why many conspiracy theorists believe that it has alien associations. After circling the mighty Snæfellsjökull a few times, you will fly down the beautiful peninsula before making your way back to Reykjavík; you can expect to be up in the air for an hour and a half. You’ll make a smooth landing, hop back onto solid earth, and have the rest of the day to marvel over your pictures. Don’t miss this beautiful flight over the awe-inspiring Snæfellsjökull glacier.

Eyjafjallajökull is one of the smaller ice caps of Iceland, situated to the north of Skógar and to the west of Mýrdalsjökull. The ice cap covers the caldera of a volcano with a summit elevation of 1,651 metres (5,417 ft). The volcano has erupted relatively frequently since the last glacial period, most recently in 2010. Next we fly over Vestmannaeyjar. Vestmannaeyjar is a town and archipelago off the south coast of Iceland. The largest island, Heimaey, has a population of 4,135. The other islands are uninhabited, although six have single hunting cabins. Vestmannaeyjar came to international attention in 1973 with the eruption of Eldfell volcano, which destroyed many buildings and forced a months-long evacuation of the entire population to mainland Iceland. Approximately one fifth of the town was destroyed before the lava flow was halted by application of 6.8 billion litres of cold sea water. It is possible to make 2 hour stop on the island to look around and have a bite. It costs extra 15.000 kr. per person.

See Iceland’s most famous tourist route in a completely unique way, with this flightseeing tour of the Golden Circle. If you want to witness as much of Iceland’s nature as possible from an unconventional perspective, then this is the tour for you. Your adventure begins at Reykjavík Domestic Airport, where you will meet your pilot for the day. They will brief you on your route before you hop on the little plane awaiting you. Take-off promises to be a little nerve-wracking, but as soon as you are in the sky, any fear will be overwhelmed with awe. The city of Reykjavík is even more beautiful from above, with the colourful tin roofs, forests, seascapes and impressive landmarks, such as the Harpa Concert Hall and Hallgrímskirkja Church. After a few circles over the capital, you will set out on the Golden Circle, soaring past the tour buses trundling below. Your first destination is Þingvellir National Park, a valley of forests, lava fields and ravines filled with spring water. To its south is the vast lake of Þingvallavatn. Þingvellir is the only UNESCO World Heritage Site on the Icelandic mainland, as it was here that early settlers convened to form their first parliament, in 930 AD; this parliament continued ever since, now based in Reykjavík. To make the site even more impressive, it is also located directly between the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates, and both will be clearly visible from the sky. After enjoying this incredible place between the continents, you will soar across to the Geysir Geothermal Area. As its name suggests, this area is home to the geysers, which sit in a colourful valley full of hot springs and fumaroles. Though Geysir itself is currently in a period of inactivity, Strokkur erupts every five to ten minutes, to heights of thirty metres. You will see it go off at least once before heading to the third and final destination of the Golden Circle, Gullfoss. This waterfall has become a symbol of Iceland; its scale, raw power and beauty are hard to beat. In two tiers, it cascades into an ancient valley, which carves through the countryside. In clear weather from here, you can see the glacier Langjökull, the meltwater of which feeds Gullfoss. With the Golden Circle complete, you will return to Reykjavík, but not the way you came. Instead, you will fly across the Botnssúlur Mountain range, to see one more of Iceland’s classic sites; Glymur, the second-tallest waterfall in the country. Finally, you will land back in the capital, no doubt still exhilarated from your trip. Enjoy Iceland’s most famous sites in style with this flightseeing tour. Check availability by choosing a date.

In this tour, we fly over the magnificent Godafoss towards Lake Myvatn with its numerous attractions, such as Krafla, Namaskard, Hverfjall and pseudo craters before starting our journey into the true highlands of Iceland.   Our highland experience will begin by seeing the magnificent Highland queen, Mount Herdubreid.  Conditions permitting, we´ll have a short pit-stop at Mt Herdubreid by landing on the sandstrip at the foot of the mountain and near the source of the oasis water.  After our pit stop we set the course towards Kerkfjoll, a rift in the north Vatnajokull glacier, and still an active volcanic site.  From there we fly over Iceland´s most recent lava-field, Holuhraun, still cooling down after the eruptions quit in January 2015. After Holuhraun, we fly towards Askja.  After exploring the hot springs of Askja, sit back as we turn towards Akureyri, and take in the view of Odadahraun, the vast lava desert.
