From Reykjavik: New Volcanic Area Helicopter Tour - Starting behind Hotel Reykjavik Natura

★★★★★★★★★★4.8 · 500 reviews · 40 min · from $577Our pick

Review of Reykjavik’s 40-minute helicopter flight over Reykjanes volcanoes, lava fields, Mount Esja, and Faxafloi Bay.

“my tip is to book this one early in your holiday so if it needs to be rescheduled because of the weather, you still have other days left to try again. My initial booking had to be rescheduled because of bad weather (safety first!) and the company was very flexible and great in scheduling a different day and time. it was expensive but worth it! just absolutely magical to see the mountain and volcanic areas from above. And we even got to land on a volcano, it was so cool! I am glad I did this so I could see the volcanic craters up close. So so beautiful”

We try to take a helicopter tour in every country we visit and this was up there at the top! The weather that day was questionable so they rescheduled our time to later in the day when the weather was better. It was great! Thank you!”

★★★★★★★★★★4.9 · 57 reviews · from $867

Fly from Reykjavik to a glacier and Hengill volcano on a two-hour helicopter tour with two landings, dramatic views, and a small group.

“The most expensive thing we did in Iceland but worth every penny. Flying over the landscape was stunning, but landing on a glacier was next-level EPIC. We walked on untouched snow and ice, took photos, and soaked in the silence. I felt like we were in the movie Dune. We then flew to a geothermal area and landed near steaming mud pools and boiling vents. The ground was streaked with surreal colors—rust reds, yellows, and grays—and steam rose all around us. We even saw 4 wild big horn sheep nearby, completely unfazed by the helicopter landing. The whole experience felt raw and otherworldly. This was truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience. The…”

Just be aware if you have a taxi driver drop you off that they use the google map link in the confirmation because it can be a bit confusing.”

Review of Reykjavik’s ATV and helicopter combo, with practical details on price, timing, weather, gear, mountain views, and overall value.

“Genuinely one of the best days of my life. Wish the ATV was longer. Was just getting into it when it was time to head back but it was great fun. The sunrise views over the snowy mountains were spectacular. Then on to the airport for one of the best ever experiences. Simply amazing. Its not the cheapest trip, but worth every penny and highly recommend. Yes maybe it leaves you wanting more as both trips are only an hour, but its nice to leave half a day free as many other trips are full day trips and which can mean a busy schedule!”
