This helicopter tour will save you hours of hiking and you will enjoy the panoramic view from your comfortable seat high in the sky. Once we reach our designated landing stop atop the vast glacier; you will have a chance to meander across the glacier, take photos and make countless memories! Throw snowballs, have a snowball fight! Build your very own snow angel and try making an snowman! Just simply enjoying the stunning view is enough in its own right as well! The crisp fresh glacier air is tantalizing to your senses.

5.00We had a fantastic, never-to-be-forgotten trip. We were lucky with having brilliant conditions, but it couldn't have been better anyway. Well organised, great pilot (Laura) and the highlight of our visit.
Very experienced

5.00Just exceptional, the whole experience was real bucket list stuff. Laura the pilot was both a skilled pilot and a geo physicist! The perfect combination for landing on a volcano then telling your all about it. Highly recommend.
Love, love, loved it!

5.00Absolutely amazing!! The guide was very nice and gave plenty of information. Quite impressive nature, you can feel the cold from the glaciers at the same time the warm of the geysers.
Amazing way to see Iceland

4.00The helicopter ride was spectacular, definitely a once in a lifetime opportunity. An amazing way to see this magnificent country. The pilot was first class. The only monor quibble was the staff told ys to be there for 11am, then phoned me at 1045 saying I was late.
Awesome time

5.00I booked the flight alone as it sounded very exciting. Been very good weather that day! Fire and ice would translate to me as glacier and volcano. It wasn't a volcano, it was geothermal springs. Nevertheless, very interesting to come a the places to which you cannot drive or walk and for me as a photographer very successful. Two landings, cozy time and no hassle, highly recommended. On the way back past the largest waterfall in Iceland, which is not easy to reach.
