Description

Experience the ultimate fusion of fire and ice by embarking on this breathtaking fire and ice tour in Iceland. This tour is perfect for those seeking an extraordinary adventure amidst the dramatic landscapes.

The journey begins at Reykjavik Domestic Airport, where you'll board a helicopter and take off. This part of the journey is very exciting, and you'll see the beautiful city of Reykjavik from above. You'll then soar across the volcanic landscape, offering stunning views of lava fields, craters, and colorful mountain ridges.

Your first landing takes you to the majestic Thorisjokull Glacier, where you'll step foot on the pristine icy surface and have the opportunity to capture unforgettable memories with photos, snowball fights, and snow angels.

Before reaching the glacier, you'll also witness the highest waterfall in Iceland, Glymur, from the comfort of your aerial seat, saving you hours of hiking.

The tour then takes you to Thingvellir National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site known for its historical significance as the site of Iceland's ancient parliament and the visible rift between the Eurasian and North American tectonic plates. This continental drift is a mesmerizing sight to behold from above.

The second landing will be at the Hengill geothermal area, a remote valley accessible only by helicopter or a lengthy hike. Here, you'll encounter hot springs and boiling mud pots, getting up close to the geothermal energy that shapes Iceland's unique landscapes. 

Throughout the 100 to 130-minute tour, you'll be treated to captivating aerial views of Iceland's diverse and dramatic terrain. From the glacier's deep crevasses to the lush greenery of Thingvellir, each moment will leave you in awe of the forces of nature at play.
