REYKJAVIK · VOLCANO HELICOPTER FLIGHTS
Good volcano helicopter flights in Reykjavik fill up weeks ahead and the great ones go first. Below: the 6 to book early, what each includes and how they differ.
See Iceland’s Reykjanes volcanoes by helicopter, with lava fields, Mount Esja, Faxaflói Bay, and expert pilot commentary.
“Immense. Didn’t realise that we would be stopping and getting out of the helicopter to see the lava fields close by.”
Review of Iceland’s geothermal helicopter tour, with hot springs, lava fields, craters, a remote landing, practical tips, and honest value advice.
“Absolutely unbelievable - pilot gave us the option to go to the volcano instead of the geothermal area, which we jumped at. An amazing experience to see an active volcano from close above. The company, pilot, helicopter, safety and everything else were excellent and when will you ever get an opportunity to see new land being created. The pilot ever showed us how manoeuvrable the helicopter is on the way back, including negative G. All in all absolutely brilliant value for money”
See Iceland’s volcanic Reykjanes Peninsula and Reykjavík from a small helicopter, with pilot commentary, lava fields, and possible landing.
“Was really nervous as never been in a helicopter and scared of heights but family wanted to go. Sadly the volcano had stopped the previous week so no lava flowing but craters still smoking and pilot had a great knowledge of dates for each and pointed out so many features of past and recent eruptions. Would highly recommend - teenagers also absolutely loved it.”
Review of Reykjavik’s one-hour helicopter tour over Iceland’s craters, geysers, and Hengill geothermal area, including costs, weather, and practical tips.
“Very professional operation, expertly narrated and flown by very experienced pilot. Great way to see the sights from a unique perspective -- from above and then up close. First flight for my son, who loved it. I have a couple of thousand flight hours as an Army flight surgeon and I could tell these guys knew what they were doing. Great!”
Review of Reykjavik’s private helicopter flight over Reykjanes, geothermal vents, volcanic craters, lakes, and the Blue Lagoon.
“I highly recommend this tour. Eventhough the weather wasn’t the greatest we had amazing views. The helicopter pilot was very professional and knowledgeable. We really enjoyed the experience and would use this company again. The only thing I was disappointed in was that we had one person that was sick so couldn’t make it last minute and they wouldn’t give me a refund. It’s an expensive ride and 5 people still went so not sure why they wouldn’t give us a refund for the 1 person.”
