Itinerary
Reykjavík helicopter base
Lift off towards Iceland’s wild southeast
Meet at the confirmed aviation base and settle into a private helicopter for a journey that links the capital with some of the country’s most remote glaciers, volcanoes and coastal landscapes.
South Coast from the air
Waterfalls, black sand and glacier volcanoes
Fly east above the long Atlantic shoreline, passing famous waterfalls and the ice-crowned volcanoes of Eyjafjallajökull and Mýrdalsjökull. From the air, rivers and black-sand plains become immense natural patterns.
Jökulsárlón Glacier Lagoon
Land beside a world of drifting ice
Touch down near the glacier lagoon for approximately 30–45 minutes. Explore the shoreline, watch for seals and see icebergs calved from Breiðamerkurjökull begin their journey towards the ocean.
Vatnajökull glacier country
Fly among outlet glaciers and Iceland’s highest peaks
Continue above the countless glacier tongues of Vatnajökull and look towards Hvannadalshnjúkur, Iceland’s highest summit. This aerial perspective reveals the extraordinary scale of Skaftafell and the national park.
Fjallabak and Landmannalaugar
Discover hidden Highlands and enjoy a scenic picnic
Cross braided rivers, volcanic valleys and colourful rhyolite mountains almost inaccessible from ordinary roads. Two additional landings are chosen around conditions and your interests, with a packed lunch enjoyed in a memorable setting.
Return over Hekla
A spectacular western finale
Fly past geothermal Hrafntinnusker and the great volcano Hekla before descending towards Reykjavík after one of the most comprehensive private aerial adventures in Iceland.
