Planning to explore Iceland’s stunning landscapes from the skies? Here are some practical tips to help you make the most of your airplane tour experience:
Schedule your tour early in the trip: Airplane tours in Iceland are highly weather-dependent and may be rescheduled if conditions affect visibility or safety. Booking your tour at the beginning of your trip gives you greater flexibility to adjust plans and reschedule for another day offers better conditions.
Check departure locations: Airplane tours in Iceland typically depart from Reykjavik Domestic Airport, Skaftafell Nature Reserve in the southeast, or Akureyri Airport in the north. Select a departure point that fits your travel itinerary to avoid unnecessary travel time.
Dress for the weather: Wear warm, layered clothing, even in summer, as airplane cabins can often feel cold. For good photos, avoid wearing light-colored clothing to reduce glare and reflection on the plane's windows.
Check tour durations: Tours can range from 30 minutes to several hours. Check the tour description for the exact duration and be sure to bring snacks and water for longer tours.
Take into account the season: The scenery in Iceland changes dramatically with the seasons. Winter tours offer snowy landscapes, while summer tours showcase Iceland's colorful landscapes, and the extended daylight hours allow for longer airplane flights and a more flexible schedule.
With these tips in mind, you’ll be well-prepared to book an unforgettable airplane tour and experience Iceland’s incredible landscapes from a whole new perspective.
