About this tour
We whisk you on a magical journey across the Hellisheiði plateau; Iceland’s most active volcanic area. Flying over the lava-covered fields interspersed with bright basalt mountains, steaming hot springs, and rows of cairns snaking in the distance the beautifully beaten rock and moss-laded lava fields; you will witness Iceland’s bewitching regions of raw energy first-hand.

Helicopter tours in Reykjavik, Iceland
Iceland's volcanic landscape, glaciers, and geothermal fields make for one of the most otherworldly helicopter routes anywhere, and many tours include a landing on a glacier or near a volcano.
When's the best time to fly?
June to August brings the mildest weather and nearly 24-hour daylight for photography. Tours running September to March sometimes combine a scenic flight with a chance to see the northern lights on clear evenings, though Icelandic weather can change quickly at any time of year.
What should I bring?
Warm, windproof layers and gloves year-round, since Iceland's weather stays cool even in summer, especially near glaciers.
What if the weather doesn't cooperate?
Like most operators, tours in Reykjavik have standard weight and balance limits (you may be asked your weight when booking or checking in), and pilots will delay or reschedule rather than fly in unsafe wind, low visibility, or storms. Booking a tour with free cancellation means a weather delay won't cost you anything.
