Private Helicopter Tour - Volcanoes and Glaciers in Iceland

Overview

Available languages

Mobile ticket

Take to the skies for a private helicopter adventure across Iceland’s legendary volcanic landscapes and glaciers.

Your aerial journey begins above the Reykjanes Peninsula, a hotspot of volcanic activity that has undergone remarkable changes since 2021. Recent eruptions have sculpted brand-new lava fields and craters, offering a rare glimpse into Earth’s raw, evolving power. While we can't guarantee active lava flows, the shifting terrain tells its own striking story.

From there, you’ll soar past the Hengill volcanic system, where geothermal energy powers the region, and glide over Þingvellir National Park—a UNESCO World Heritage Site rich in geological and historical significance. Continue on past the vast Skjaldbreiður shield volcano.

Weather permitting, we’ll touch down on a glacier for an unforgettable pause surrounded by panoramic views and deep tranquility.

On the return to Reykjavík, witness Glymur, Iceland’s tallest waterfall, cascading through a dramatic canyon.

From start to finish the experience of booking and communication between us and volcano heli was incredible. The service provided was amazing, and if we had any questions or concerns about booking times because of the weather they were super accommodating and fast to reply or answer our calls. Our pilot Matt was a local Icelandic, and he was phenomenal, sooooo relaxed and a lot of fun and also very professional and reassuring. He was really knowledgeable about every area we flew over and always had a great story to accompany each fact about the areas. He also accommodated our needs as well as fulfilled the full expectation of the tour we booked. The tour we booked was the glacier expedition and it was everything we were told it would be, we stopped just off the glacier to be able to see the beauty and in the middle of a little oasis. It was out of this world. To be the only people there and have the whole glacier to ourselves. The ground team were amazing as well, super friendly and professional. I have to say with this tour we got everything we were promised upon booking which is amazing these days. I cannot recommend them enough. And we will never forget this experience. Worth every penny and more.
Price and performance right, super nice team
