Brilliant 1.5-Hour Helicopter Tour with Glacier Landing from Reykjavik

Embark on a remarkable helicopter tour from Reykjavik, where you'll land on the picturesque Thorisjokull glacier, take in the stunning views, and experience the unique sensation of walking on a glacier. Fly over Skjaldbreidur volcano and Thingvellir National Park, witnessing the captivating continental drift between the Eurasian and North American tectonic plates.

Start your adventure from the Reykjavik Domestic Airport, where you will meet your guide and board your helicopter. You'll then enjoy a breathtaking take-off and head towards the majestic Thorisjokull glacier.

Next, you'll be whisked away to Skjaldbreidur, a shield volcano, where you'll soar over its ancient crater—although devoid of molten lava, the vistas remain awe-inspiring.

Your flight also cruises over Thingvellir National Park, a breathtaking valley housing the historic parliament site and Iceland's largest natural lake. Here, nature's marvels unfold before you—a visual testament to the gradual drift between the continents. 

As the Eurasian and North American tectonic plates slowly part ways, you'll witness this geological spectacle from a truly unparalleled perspective—a mid-air vantage point aboard a helicopter. It's a momentary immersion into a realm known as "no man's land," positioned between Europe and North America.

The landing site is on the sprawling Langjokull glacier, Iceland's second-largest, granting you the chance to set foot on this icy wonderland. 

Behold the almost surreal panorama and immerse yourself in the magical experience of being on top of a glacier. Covered in pristine snow year-round, you'll inhale the invigorating alpine air, create snow angels, or engage in spirited snowball battles.

From the glacier's peak, your gaze will traverse the distinct contours of Iceland's untamed highlands, a sight exclusive to this vantage point.

Throughout the tour, your eyes will feast on the grandeur of Thorisjokull Glacier, Langjokull Glacier, the Skjaldbreidur Volcano, the beauty of Thingvellir National Park, the imposing Esja mountain, and the charm of Reykjavik from above.

This glacier landing tour spans 75 to 95 minutes, including a guided 50 to 70-minute helicopter flight and a 15-minute glacier landing.
