Itinerary

  • Reykjavik (Pass By)

    Reykjavik is the world’s northernmost capital city. On this excursion, we fly above a mountain peak near the city and take view of city. The trip takes roughly 20 minutes to 25 minutes. You will be able to witness the entire city region, including its colorful roof tops, parks, and other neighborhoods. Needless to say, after this sightseeing tour, you will have a better understanding of Iceland and its magnificent nature.

  • Faxafloi Bay (Pass By)

    Outshining lake of blue fresh waters

  • Mount Esja

    The symmetrical basalt rocks, lava fields, and magma ash will remind you of the history of this volcanic range. Moreover, the lush greens, rugged terrain, unique plants and species of the range, and windy weather is what represent Mount Esja.

Helicopter Tour

Published on Jan, 2025

Awesome adventure. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and experienced. He gave us enough time to check out the area when we landed. We say Reykavik from the highest point.

Unforgettable

Published on Mar, 2024

Stunning experience, flying over Mount Esja. Pilot was super too and put us at ease as we were quite nervous.

On top of the world

Published on Dec, 2023

Absolutely amazing trip. The pilot we had hadn't even flown to this mountain before so it was a first for us all! What an experience.

Different Perspective on Reykjavik and Surrounding Area

Published on Oct, 2023

We loved the experience of riding in the helicopter and seeing Reykjavik and surrounding areas from a completely different perspective. We were able to see Reykjavik, the harbor, Sky Lagoon, Blue Lagoon, and more from above. We also saw the lava fields that were active as recently as 2022 and landed on a mountaintop to take photographs of scenes we otherwise would have never seen.

Fabulous
