Reykjavik Airport

Setting off from the urban views of Reykjavik, we will catch a glimpse of Esja, the mountain just next to the city border. En route we'll see the highest waterfall in Iceland - Glymur. It is a popular hiking area but nothing beats the view you get from a helicopter! Next, the UNESCO World Heritage Site - Þingvellir National Park, with its absolutely magical culture and nature. Besides being a sacred place for all Icelandic people, and an important part of the country's history - it is a once in a lifetime experience to see it from the sky. We continue our flight to the geothermal area of the old Hengill volcano. We land in a valley that has natural hot springs, mud pots, and is only accessible by a helicopter (or few hours hike of course!). In this remote area, you can feel the true essence of Icelandic nature - just how Mother Earth made it. The total duration of the tour is 65-85 minutes. 40-60 minute guided helicopter flight and a 15 minute landing by a remote geothermal area on an old volcano.
