I’d like to give a special thanks to Usman for picking us up from BSI after a mistake made by myself. He really did go out of his way to help us so we didn’t miss out on this incredible opportunity. Thanks so much to you guys. Love Sarah and John x”

Fly from Reykjavík over Iceland’s volcanic Reykjanes Peninsula, with city views, pilot commentary, and a possible lava-field landing.

“Awesome - you think you see incredible stuff on the ground (and you do) but taking to the air is super special!! We saw volcanic craters and lakes and were awed by the sheer scale of land around the volcano. We got to land on, then walk on, the lava field which was a once in a lifetime experience. Our pilot was excellent, she explained everything we were looking at and provided a smooth flight for us - money well spent.”

Our pilot was incredible, informative, and very friendly making us feel comfortable and safe throughout the entire ride. We got an opportunity to take pictures of the Glymur waterfall north of the city, then landed on a glacier with some time to get out for some exploration. Back in the sky we flew over the tectonic divide to land next to hot pools and geysers where we again had some time to take pictures and explore. The return took us over a centuries old lava flow…”

The staff were fantastic, especially the pilots, and the tour took us over the incredible landscape, with a view of volcanos and geothermal areas that you just cant get from the ground. Landing balanced on the crater's edge of a volcano was incredible!”

Reykjavik: 45-Minute Volcano Sightseeing Helicopter Tour

11.45-Minute Volcano Sightseeing Helicopter Tour

★★★★★★★★★★4.6 · 45 reviews · from $624

Fly from Reykjavik over Iceland’s newest eruption sites, old lava fields, volcanic craters, and Sundhnúkahraun in 45 minutes.

“The experience was AMAZING!!! The pilot was very informative and kind. Showed us all a many times the active volcano which was of course our highlight of the experience. The only downside I can say is when we went to the meetup location the door was locked and no one was inside the building for over 30min. We went to other locations looking around for help and eventually we found a kind gentleman to let us sit in another part of the building until the reception lady came back. Our flight time was 11:45 so it wasn’t too early in the dayRead more”

“Great tour combo, we were picked up near the hotel and supplied with all the gear needed for keeping warm and dry on the quads. Our guide Damos was great and we were on some off road trails and got a nice view of the city. Then they brought us to the helicopter base. Awesome one hour flight in a nice helicopter with very good pilot. Flew over the Blue Lagoon, Reykjavík, the recent volcano and lava fields and landed on an old lava field. Great experience!”
