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.

Experience something very few travellers Iceland get to and take two days to visit the Westfjords in the winter. If you are seeking incredible, snowy landscapes far from the crowds, then this is the tour for you. Flights from Reykjavík’s Domestic Airport to the town of Bíldudalur are included in the price of this tour, as is a two-course-meal and hotel accommodation for the night. After arrival in the Westfjords, you’ll spend all of your first day seeking out incredible sites. These include the westernmost point of Europe, the Látrabjarg cliffs, which even in winter are home to many birds, and the golden-sand-beach Rauðasandur. On your second day, you’ll witness the diverse natural beauty of Arnarfjörður fjord, and learn all about its history and folklore. Following that, you will head to one of the most beautiful waterfalls not just in Iceland, but the world: Dynjandi. Wildlife lovers will also be pleased to know that you will be looking out for seals throughout your journey and that the fjords of the Westfjords are bountiful with life, meaning you always have a chance of seeing whales and dolphins.

Take two days of your holiday in Iceland to explore the mountains, coasts, wildlife and waterfalls of the Westfjords. If you're staying in Reykjavík but want the chance to visit this remote and spectacular region, this adventure is your ideal choice.  Your journey begins at Reykjavík Domestic Airport, where you'll catch your flight to Bíldudalur, a settlement of the Westfjords. Your guides will meet you here, you will board a modified Super Jeep, and the tour will officially begin. On day one, you will first head to the incredible Látrabjarg bird-watching cliff. Nowhere in the world can you see puffins as easily as here; they nest in the millions, and have very little fear of people. They, however, are just one of a dozen species that reside here throughout summer, and avid wildlife lovers will be in awe of the numbers. Following that, you will visit a seal colony, but the waters of the Westfjords are bountiful with life, supporting high populations of marine mammals. Finally, you will head to the beautiful beach of Rauðasandur, one of the few beaches in the country with shimmering golden sands, rather than volcanic black. Day two will take you to the fjord of Arnarfjörður, a stunning place of diverse landscapes. You will then head to what is arguably the country’s most beautiful waterfall, Dynjandi, a whispering giant that leaves no visitor untouched by its beauty. At the end of the day, you will take a flight back to Reykjavík City. Both flights are included in the price of the tour, along with dinner, accommodation and breakfast. Immerse yourself in Iceland in summer during two adventure-packed days in the Westfjords. Check availability by choosing a date. 

Experience two wonders in one: a flightseeing tour above this incredible land and a trip onto the ancient ice of the glacier Svínafellsjökull. On this tour, you will see as much of Iceland as is possible in a day, while also getting a fantastic introduction to glacier hiking.  This trip starts with you catching your flight from Reykjavík airport. The flight from the south-west of the country to the south-east covers a vast diversity of scenery that is marvellous to witness from above. The black sand beaches of the South Coast, the stretches of barren desert, the mountains that lead into the Highlands, Iceland’s largest natural lake Þingvellirvatn, and even the glacier that erupted in 2010, Eyjafjallajökull, will all unfold beneath you. You will then fly into Skaftafell Nature Reserve, to a small airstrip, where your experienced glacier guides will be waiting for you. After introductions, they will take you to Svínafellsjökull, a tongue stretching from Europe’s largest glacier, the vast Vatnajökull ice cap. Here, you will be helped into your gear, as you are informed of the safety procedures and ground rules of glacier hiking. Without further ado, you will be given an ice axe and can start your 1.5 km excursion up the glacier. Your experience on the otherworldly, ancient ice will no doubt stay with you for life. Not only will the dramatic sights take your breath away, but the almost organic sounds of the glacier changing beneath your feet is mesmerising. Depending on the time of year that you come, the glacier will appear different; in winter, many parts are a stunning electric blue, so vivid it’s hard to imagine how the colour is natural. In summer, more of it is a milky white, and veined with the black ash of volcanic eruptions dating back centuries.  Svínafellsjökull is part of the Vatnajökull National Park, and the incredible surrounding nature has a fascinating story; needless to say, your guide will point out the natural and historic features of the glacier and surrounding landscapes as you hike. For this tour, it is possible to be a first-time glacier-hiker. All you have to bring is decent hiking shoes with ankle support, warm, waterproof clothing, and a sense of adventure. Everything else is provided. You may also wish to take a camera with you, to capture the wonderful memories you will make here.  Following the hike, you will return to the airstrip and fly back to Reykjavík, returning in time to have a full evening back in the capital. If the weather limited your views on the flight over, you have a second opportunity to see the wonders of the south coast on your return journey. Don’t miss this incredible chance, to see a huge wealth of Icelandic scenery from a unique perspective and to adventure on the ancient ice of an awe-inspiring glacier.

Hop on board for a thrilling flight over West Iceland.

You meet up with your pilot guide and depart from the domestic airport in Reykjavík. The 60-minute flight component of this tour will take you over a whole host of different landscapes, each of which will blow you away. See where the North American and Eurasian continental plates are pulling apart in Þingvellir National Park; watch columns of steam rising from hot springs in the Hengill geothermal area; spot Iceland's tallest waterfall, Glymur, cascading down a cliff; and soar over Þórisjökull and Langjökull glaciers. All of these places are marvellous to visit, but to get to see them from an aerial perspective is truly spectacular, and an experience few get to have.  The pilot will eventually land in the picturesque Húsafell, where you will start the second component of the tour. From here, you will travel up to Langjökull glacier, and explore its insides with an expert glacier guide. This experience is nothing short of incredible; you will walk down channels carved into millennia-old ice, where you can marvel over its beautiful blue colour and the fantastic natural sculptures it forms. As you look and listen, you will learn the secrets of the glaciers, and the forces that have shaped Iceland into the magnificent country that it is. This is the only place in the world you can enter a glacier in this manner without being a scientist, and it is not an adventure that should be missed.

Fly above north Iceland’s most incredible sites, with this flightseeing tour of the Diamond Circle. This amazing trip should not be missed by any who want to see the essential landmarks of the region from a fantastic aerial perspective. This tour begins at Akureyri’s Domestic Airport, where your little plane will be waiting. After a quick briefing on your route from your friendly pilot, you will board the craft and take to the skies. Your breath is sure to be taken away instantly; watching the ‘Capital of the North’, with its colourful tin roofs and beautiful buildings, shrink beneath you is awe-inspiring, as is the mighty bay of Eyjafjörður, and the giant mountains of Tröllaskagi. After circling above Akureyri, you will set out on the most popular route of the region, the Diamond Circle. You will sail over the packed tour buses slogging along below until reaching the first site. Goðafoss waterfall is a stunning feature, wide and powerful, with a fascinating history. It was here that Iceland marked its conversion to Christianity, when the most powerful man at the time, the Law Speaker of the parliament, tossed his idols of the Old Norse Gods into the furious waters. Next on your route is Lake Mývatn. Only from above can you comprehend the vastness of this place, with its many lagoons, separated by rows of pseudo-craters and lava formations. You will be able to see the basalt fortress of Dimmuborgir, and the tiny village of Reykjahlíð. Mývatn’s name means ‘midge lake’, so an added advantage of flying over it is that the millions of little flies won’t annoy you while admiring. As you continue above the Diamond Circle, you will come across the seething geothermal region of the Námaskarð Pass. Here, you can see hot springs and fumaroles steaming, interrupting an ominous, barren landscape. After going over this area and around the mountain, you will come to the valley of Jökulsá á Fjöllum, a surging glacial river that holds the most powerful waterfall in Europe, Dettifoss. From land, it is breathtaking, but from the sky, beyond that. Its scale and sheer power will lock your eyes upon it in awe as you circle above it. On your return journey to Akureyri, you will hug the dramatic mountains of Tröllaskagi, admiring the peaks and seascapes, before touching down back at the domestic airport. Don’t miss this exhilarating flight above the fantastic sites of the Diamond Circle. Check availability by choosing a date. 

Hop on a plane for a scenic flight over the South Coast of Iceland and then explore a natural ice cave. This tour is for everyone who wants to see something truly rare: the world inside a glacier. Every year, stunning ice caves are formed by running water from Europe's largest glacier, Vatnajökull. Each cave collapses during summertime and gets filled with water, and each winter new ones form. Therefore, every single cave is unique, and you won't have the same experience twice when you go to see a natural glacier cave. Vatnajökull is situated in the south-east of Iceland, about a 6-hour drive one-way from Reykjavík. To drive there and back, you would thus need at least 2 days. Flying, however, gives you the chance to visit the ice caves, the nearby glacier lagoon Jökulsárlón and the Diamond Beach all at once, without rush. The flight departs from Reykjavík airport at 8:55 AM, and in just 50 minutes, you will have reached Höfn in East Iceland. Your return flight to Reykjavík is at 6:55 PM. Jökulsárlón glacier lagoon is right by the glacier and connected to the sea. In it, you will see majestic icebergs afloat, and you may even spot some seals relaxing on the ice. Where the lagoon meets the sea, there's a Diamond Beach, named for the glistening ice scattered along it. The flight itself will be in a small plane and will provide spectacular aerial views of the Icelandic coastline. On a clear day, you'll get a great view of Vatnajökull glacier itself, giving you an idea of its immense size. The ice caves should not be missed if you are here during winter and if you're pressed for time, this is the perfect tour for you. As soon as you reserve it, we will contact you to send you your flight tickets and provide you with all the necessary information. Come aboard for the experience of a lifetime. Check availability by choosing a date.

Take this incredible flight to Grímsvötn, Iceland's most frequently erupting volcano. With incredible views of Vatnajökull National Park, including its glaciers, hot springs and craters, this tour is not to be missed.  Your flight leaves from the scenic Skaftafell Nature Reserve and takes approximately 45 minutes, providing you with ample time to drink in the magnificence of Vatnajökull glacier and the surrounding area. As you fly, you will see endless expanses of ancient ice, the peaks of volcanoes and the shadows of plunging valleys. When you reach Grímsvötn, you can marvel over its impressive crater. Due to the heat of the earth beneath, it is often filled with a pool of shockingly blue water amongst the powder white snow, with steam rising from its hot springs that are stunningly visible from above. Grímsvötn is a combination of subglacial lakes beneath the surface of the ice. As fascinating as these are, especially to microbiologists and geologists, it is the shimmering surface of the glacier, and the crater of the volcano, which make this tour so spectacular. Rest assured that your experienced pilot will provide an informative commentary about these unusual features, and tell you about the most recent eruptions.  When Grímsvötn goes off, it usually does so with quite a bang. The greater 1783 Laki eruption is historically known to have changed the climate of Europe, being responsible for the deaths of 25% of Icelanders at the time. The ash cloud from the most recent eruption in 2011 rose to be nearly 20 kilometres tall, and the force of it was stronger than the notorious, plane-grounding 2010 eruption of Eyjafjallajökull. Flying above a volcano with such history and immense potential power is an exhilarating experience not to be missed.  So do not hesitate, book this flight of a lifetime now.

Your flight will depart from the airport at Skaftafell, a short way from the visitor centre, at the edge of the nature reserve.  As you take off, you'll be able to see Skaftafell from above, and admire a lush green area so beautiful it was once considered its own National Park, before the creation of the much greater Vatnajökull Park. You'll continue over Skeiðarárjökull glacier tongue with a marvellous view over the ink black sands and white ice. After that, you'll fly towards the mountain Laki and over the dramatic but beautiful area of the Lakagígar craters, a 25 km long volcanic fissure known for causing the largest volcanic discharge ever witnessed.  From Lakagígar you'll fly over the colourful area of Landmannalaugar, a beautiful valley in the Icelandic highlands, and a beloved oasis of the natives. In the old days, people travelling across the highlands would stop here to rest and bathe in the hot springs that the valley takes its name from. After a spin over Landmannalaugar and the nearby Mýrdalsjökull glacier, it is time to return to Skaftafell. If the weather is good you might even see all the way to Hekla volcano. On the way back you'll fly over Eldgjá canyon. At 40 km long and nearly 300 meters in depth, this is the world's largest volcanic canyon, and home to the waterfall Ófærufoss. You'll then head to Skaftafell again, embraced by the glacial mountains of Vatnajökull. All of these places are some of the most delightful in Iceland to visit on foot.

See Iceland’s natural wonders from above during this is a once-in-a-lifetime experience, as you soar over the black sands and glaciers of the East in an aeroplane. If you want the chance to see the stark beauty of this volcanic island from the air, this is the tour for you. Your adventure begins in Skaftafell National Park, where you will meet up with your pilot at Skaftafell Airport and board your aircraft. Then, get ready to take flight and begin your excursion to the sky. You'll be flying over Skeiðarárjökull, a glacier tongue of Vatnajökull which is the most massive glacier in Iceland. Its meltwater gives birth to several streams that cut across the black sand plains of Skeiðarársandur. On the western edge of the glacier, meltwaters blocked by the ice of Vatnajökull have pooled into a small lake, cradled by this natural dam and stunning to look at from a bird's point of view. Skeiðarársandur is the most extensive sand plain in the world, caused by glacial meltwater pouring over the landscape and washing away any vegetation. It is haunting in its desolation, but also undeniably beautiful. Nature tries to find a way, and as the sands turn to mud and clay closest to the coast, large flocks of skua birds nest there each year during the warm summer months. It is hard to believe that all those colourful glacial rivers meandering across the dark volcanic sandy plains are not just part of an enormous abstract painting. The textures of the bluish and sometimes green, yellow or milky glacial waters twisting and swirling over deep black ash, are nothing but incredible. You'll also enjoy the tree-lined hills of Skaftafell Nature Reserve in the area near the takeoff point. It is a great favourite of hikers and campers who visit to contemplate the peaceful quiet of the glacier or meditate in the shadow of Hvannadalshnjúkur, Iceland's highest peak. You can also expect to see some of the scenic South Coast during takeoff and return to Skaftafell, gleaming with black cliffs and sandy beaches, seabirds circling overhead.

Heimaey is the largest island of the Westman Islands archipelago, and it is the home to more than 4000 inhabitants. It gained international attention in 1973 when the Islanders woke up to an eruption of the island’s volcano, Eldfell. Thankfully, nobody got hurt but the eruption destroyed or damaged about 60% of all the houses in the town.  During the flight, you will also see Surtsey island, one of the world’s youngest islands. Surtsey was formed in an underwater eruption between the years 1963 and 1967. It is also the southernmost point of Iceland. The Westman Islands are comprised of 15 islands, and about 30 rock stacks and skerries, and all the islands were created in submarine eruptions, making them a beautiful wonder of nature worth seeing. The islands are also teeming with diverse bird and animal life, and it is here where you can find the world’s largest puffin colony! The dark lava fields, mighty mountains and the island’s green hills make them one of the most beautiful places in Iceland, and seeing the rough Atlantic Ocean crashes upon the shores of the dozens of skerries and islands is something you surely will never forget.

Here, you will have a better vantage point of  Iceland's highest peak, Hvannadalshnjúkur (2109 m [6921 ft]), which makes up part of the crater rim of Öræfajökull glacier.  Öræfajökull glacier is also a volcano and has erupted twice in history, in the years 1362 and 1727. In fact, it is the largest active volcano in the country, and both times it erupted, it poured huge amounts of tephra over Iceland, destroying the district it calls home with flooding and other devastation.  This tour offers a great view over the glacier tongues that originate from Europe's largest ice cap, Vatnajökull, and is a must-see for enthusiastic nature lovers! From here, you'll also view Vatnajökull National Park and the beautiful glacier lagoon, Jökulsárlón, often considered "The Crown Jewel of Iceland".  The lagoon itself is full of floating icebergs, and you may even be able to witness them breaking away from the glacier that looms large above the water.

Then you'll continue west over Síðujökull glacier and finally fly over the beautiful area of Lakagígar craters. Vatnajökull National Park was established in 2008 and includes some of the most recognizable attractions, such as Skaftafell Nature Reserve. Beside Skaftafell is the Skaftafellsjökul glacier, which looks like a carpet of ice tumbling down between the mountains on its way to the sea. Lakagígar, or Laki Craters, is a 27 km long eruptive fissure consisting of 130 giant craters. The Lakagígar craters were formed by a volcanic eruption in 1783 and are the largest discharge caused by volcanic activity ever to have been witnessed. It changed the landscape forever, like a battleground between the shifting, roiling pressures of the earth.  On your return, you'll fly over Súlutindar, a formation shaped by the glacier on the west side of Skeiðarárjökull glacier and then continue southeast along the edge of the glacier where you will get a panoramic view of its massive size. Súlutindar is a desolate landscape of grasslands, mostly uninhabited, and it's so easy to imagine a Viking in the Saga Age crossing the land with only an Icelandic horse as a companion.  Langisjór is a lake in the highlands, on the southwestern border of Vatnajökull glacier. It is one of the most remote in Iceland; in fact, no roads lead there, so this is one of the best ways to see it!  Come aboard and see some of the most isolated, faraway spots in Iceland from a birds-eye view. It is unforgettable! Check availability by choosing a date.

It is one of only seven subglacial volcanoes under Vatnajokull glacier.  Mýrdalsjökull and Vatnajökull glaciers are nearby, along with the beautiful river Tungnaá, flowing from the western edge of Vatnajökull and completing the stunning landscape.  Lakagígar's eruption in 1783 had the largest discharge caused by volcanic activity ever to have been witnessed, taking place over a period of months and changing the scenery of Iceland forever. The craters are especially beautiful when viewed from above, with moss creeping over the black volcanic rock. From Lakagígar, you'll fly over the colourful valleys of Landmannalaugar in the Icelandic highlands, formed in an eruption around the year 1477. Then, you'll return to Skaftafell Nature Reserve, one of the most beautiful forested areas of Iceland, tucked beside a glacier.  This tour will also take you over to the large glacier lake/volcano Grímsvötn, where you can see the contrasts between the glacier and the hot springs.

It is even more otherworldly from above, and you'll the special chance to gain an aerial perspective of both the city and the countryside. On this flight, you can expect to see Reykjavík's bright coloured houses, volcanic craters, beautiful lakes, the Blue Lagoon and rising steam from the surrounding hot springs and geothermal features on Reykjanes peninsula.  Other beautiful locations on the Reykjanes Peninsula include Krýsuvík geothermal area, found in the middle of a fissure zone on the Mid-Atlantic Ridge. You can also see the point where the two tectonic plates of Europe and America begin to split apart, ever so slowly, driven by the same heat and pressure that powers Iceland's many hot pools.  Hengill volcano in the southwest is another dazzling sight, covered in drifting clouds of steam from surrounding fumaroles and bubbling hot springs. Don't worry though—the last eruption was more than 2,000 years ago. You will also see the Blue Mountains, a beautiful group of tuff mountains not far from Reykjavik, by the lava plateau of Hellisheiði. The mountains are the most popular skiing venue for the people of Reykjavik.  Viðey island is the largest island in the Kollafjörður Bay in Iceland, near the capital of Reykjavík. The island has archaeological remains dating back to the early 10th century.
