Reykjavik helicopter tour with Mt Esja summit landing and city flyovers. Small group, English briefings, about 30 to 45 minutes.
“Lovely looking helicopter, pilot was very professional, the ride was nice and smooth. Landed on the summit and had a good look round for 20 odd mins. Only one suggestion, maybe the pilot should fly over the 2-3 main tourist attractions.”
Helicopter over Reykjanes volcano and Reykjavik in 35 to 45 minutes. Small group, pilot geology, possible lava-field landing.
“Our pilot was great, he kept in touch with us when unfortunately we had to reschedule the original day due to the weather not cooperating. He told us about the area we visited, types of eruptions, time frames ans the flight was smooth. I'm bad with names but I believe he said his name was Aleksander and he's from Norway. We had hoped to see some actual lava like in the pictures, but alas, our timing didn't cooperate with that! It was looking like there would be another issue eruption soon, though.”
1-hour small-group helicopter flight from Reykjavik over geothermal vents and lava fields, with a remote landing for close views.
“We enjoyed our excursion tour of Reykjavik by helicopter. Our pilot Julius was great! It was exciting to see Iceland from an aerial view and be able to land right by geothermal activity. If we were to choose again we might go to a different landing spot by liked this company and dent very safe.”
Helicopter with two landings in Iceland, including a glacier walk and Hengill geothermal mud pots, plus big views from Reykjavik.
“Landing on a glacier as well as a volcano, plus breathtaking views over Reykjavik and other parts of the country - it’s like living a dream.

“En el helicóptero no hubo opción lamentablemente el día que lo contraté, pero gracias a eso tuvieron disponibilidad otro día que yo también estaba disponible y además con mejora y en los quads los 2 guías super agradables y me dieron también la posibilidad de hacer otra mejora, asique fue mejor imposible. Volvería a hacer ambas, son unas experiencias increibles.”
Private helicopter over Reykjanes volcanoes and Reykjavik, 40-50 minutes, up to 4 per group, in English, with mobile ticket.
“We had a great experience with our helicopter tour! Julian was awesome and an excellent pilot. He flew us all around and pointed out all the past eruption sites along with various points of interest in the area. 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.”
Reykjavik ATV plus helicopter combo: 1 hour quad biking with full gear, then a summit flight and 20-minute mountain landing.
“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!”
