Explore the countless craters of the Reykjanes Peninsula, with absolutely amazing scenery, on this helicopter flight.
Catch a glimpse of the rough but magical beauty that embodies Iceland's volcanic landscape. As you soar above the lunar-like Reykjanes Peninsula, you'll truly appreciate its grandeur on a scale that is possible only from air. You will see virtually endless volcanic craters, the Seltún geothermal area, rugged coastline, the Blue Lagoon, Lake Kleifarvatn and Lake Grænavatn. This area is a constant reminder of the untamed power that sculpted the island. Your experience includes a stop at Eldvörp on the Reykjanes Peninsula in southwest Iceland—a 10 km-long crater row known for its extensive geothermal activity, where steam continuously rises from the earth. The dramatic combination of rugged lava fields and steaming vents creates an otherworldly atmosphere.
The tour also offers views of Mount Keilir and the striking craters formed by the Fagradalsfjall volcanic eruption, which began in March 2021 and continued for six months.
