Overview

This helicopter tour lasts between 35 and 45 minutes and flies over the Reykjanes Peninsula, one of Iceland’s most geologically active areas. The flight provides aerial views of recent volcanic eruption sites, including newly formed lava fields and crater formations from eruptions since 2021. Although the volcano is not currently erupting, the landscape shows clear signs of tectonic activity with over 50,000 earthquakes recorded in recent years. The helicopter seats only 5 to 6 passengers, which allows for close-up views of this volcanic zone and panoramic scenes of the Reykjanes Peninsula’s changing terrain. The tour also offers aerial views of Reykjavík, showing the city’s colorful rooftops, coastline, and the surrounding Faxaflói Bay. Flights operate depending on weather and require at least four passengers. If weather conditions prevent flying, a reschedule or full refund is offered. Fuel surcharges apply to the price.
