Description

Embark on an extraordinary journey with this glacier lagoon expedition, a captivating five to seven-hour helicopter voyage through Iceland's awe-inspiring landscapes. Glide over ebony shores, witness the grandeur of Eyjafjallajokull volcano, and delve into the remote Fjallabak region. 

This unparalleled adventure offers an unforgettable encounter with Iceland's distinctive beauty, with three outstanding landings.

The adventure starts when you take off from Reykjavik Domestic Airport with an expert pilot. You'll then be whisked away on an exhilarating journey along the South Coast of Iceland.

From the air, the volcanic black sand beaches of South Iceland stretch endlessly. Marvel at glacial rivers battling the North Atlantic's might while the iconic Eyjafjallajokull volcano stands tall with its glacier cap, canyons, and cascading waterfalls. 

As you enter Vatnajokull National Park, the sprawling expanse of Europe's largest ice cap unfolds, adorned with over 30 outlet glaciers cascading from its icy crown.

Your first stop is at the base of one of these glaciers, where you'll spend around 30 to 45 minutes exploring the enchanting Jokulsarlon Glacier Lagoon, whose shimmering blue icebergs are a mesmerizing sight. Keep an eye out for playful seals that call this place home.

Ascending once more, witness the lagoon from above before journeying westward over Vatnajokull's glacial tongues. Your flight enters the remote Fjallabak region, Iceland's untamed highlands. Here, isolated mountain lakes, meandering rivers, and rugged valleys lie hidden from most eyes. 

Delight in the rhyolite mountains of Landmannalaugar geothermal area and Hrafntinnusker, both seen from the air and ground. On the return to Reykjavik, you'll pass by Mt Hekla, one of Iceland's most active volcanoes. 

Throughout this unique expedition, three landings are planned. Weather permitting, additional stops may include Fimmvorduhals by Eyjafjallajokull Volcano and Hrafntinnusker geothermal area, allowing you to savor a packed lunch at a specially chosen scenic spot.

In a single day, this tour captures the stark contrasts and diversity of Iceland's landscape that once required days of travel. Whether you're an adventurer at heart or simply in awe of natural wonders, this helicopter tour is a must.

Delight in the beauty of the Jokulsarlon Glacier Lagoon, Vatnajokull Glacier, Fjallabak Region, Landmannalaugar Geothermal Area, Eyjafjallajokull Volcano, Fimmvorduhals craters, and Fjallsarlon Glacier Lagoon.
