Make your own way to Reykjavik Domestic Airport in time for your morning flight, and then listen to a short safety briefing before following your professional pilot to your helicopter. Take a seat next to your pilot or in the row of seats to the rear, and feel the excitement build as you take off into the skies over Reykjavik.
Peer down at the capital’s sights and watch as the vibrant rooftops that typify Reykjavik give way to the rugged beauty of the ethereal Icelandic landscape. Head toward the Hengill geothermal area, one of the largest areas of its kind in Iceland, and take in bird’s-eye views of the steaming hot springs — known as geysers — and power plants.
Pass over the Thórsmörk mountain ridge. One of the area’s most scenic spots, Thórsmörk is surrounded by glaciers, mountains and rivers and bordered by the towering Mýrdalsjökull, Eyjafjallajökull and Tindfjallajökull glaciers. Marvel at the sweeping views and then begin your descent to a landing spot between Eyjafjallajökull and Katla volcano. Step out of your helicopter and stretch your legs as you wander around, taking in the inspiring views.
Hop back inside your helicopter and enjoy your scenic route back to the city. Soar over the black sand beaches on Iceland’s south coast before crossing the Blue Mountain range and taking in your final aerial views of Reykjavik. Your 2.5-hour tour concludes back at the original start point.
