Scenic Helicopter Flight to Kerlingarfjöll from Reykjavík

Reykjavík is the capital city of Iceland and the starting point for this unforgettable adventure. On your helicopter flight from Reykjavík, you'll discover the country's most dramatic landscapes, including rugged mountains, towering volcanoes, intricate geothermal areas, glacier lakes, braided river systems, iconic waterfalls, and historical sites!

To begin, you'll meet the experienced pilot at Reykjavík Domestic Airport. At the base, you'll receive a safety briefing and instructions, before boarding the premium helicopter. Then, your helicopter flight to Kerlingarfjoll begins! Along the way, the expert pilot tour guide will share information about the sites you encounter. You'll start by flying over urban views of Reykjavík, catching a glimpse of Esja Mountain, which forms a border beside the city. Afterwards, you'll fly over a group of hidden waterfalls towards Skjaldbreiður Volcano and Jarlhettur, a row of peaks known for their jagged, colorful formations.

Then, you'll fly along the edge of Langjökull Glacier and land beside Hvítárvatn, a pale blue glacier lake. Here, you'll immerse yourself in the secluded environment and breathe in the fresh mountain air. After exploring this remote area, the helicopter flight to Kerlingarfjöll continues, heading towards the mountain area. Kerlingarfjöll, or 'The Witches' Mountains', is one of the most intense high-temperature geothermal areas in the country!

The second landing will be at Hverabotnar, a geothermal area within Kerlingarfjöll. You'll admire the incredible natural landscapes and learn more about the geologically active rhyolite mountain range. Rich in fumaroles and bubbling pools, Hverabotnar is a dramatic hotspot in the highlands! Afterwards, you'll board the helicopter once more and start the return journey to the city. Along the way, you'll fly over the magnificent Gullfoss Waterfall and Þingvellir National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The park lies in a rift valley between the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates, which slowly move apart each year. This is a truly majestic sight to behold from the air! The trip comes to an end back at the starting point in Reykjavík.
