ITINERARY FOR THE EXCURSION “VOLCANO HELICOPTER TOUR IN ICELAND”
On this guided flight, we take off from the domestic airport in Reykjavík and fly above one of the most active volcanic zones on the island, the Hellisheiði Plateau, where you will see the lava fields covered in moss which stretch until the horizon, interwoven with colorful mountains of basalt, misty thermal springs and the very same central geothermal vents that supply heat to Reykjavi.
We will be sure to touchdown outside of the typical tourist routes in order to present firsthand, the most remote side of Iceland. In the geothermal area of Hengill, names as such because of the Hengill Volcano, one can witness the complete nature of Iceland. We will take you to some thermal springs and in the spring you may be surprised with a glimpse of the wild sheep which roam through the valley. But no matter the season, this area offers magical, colorful and beautiful vistas.
On the way back, we will be delighted with a panoramic view above Reykjavik, so that you have the unique sight of the capital of Iceland. The helicopter flight lasts for a total of 25-50 minutes, flying above the various mentioned ‘hotspots’: the Hellisheiði Plateau, the geothermal area of Hengill, Nesjavallavirkjun, Hellisheiðarvirkjun, the Bláfjöll mountain range, Reykjavik, the lava fields of Kristnitökuhraun and the craters. The total duration of the visit is approximately 50-60 minutes as this includes a 15-minute landing in a geothermal area on the ancient volcano.
