Description
The Tales of Fire and Ice Tour combines popular aerial routes with two unique landings: one on a glacier and another on a volcano.
Your tour starts at Reykjavik Domestic Airport, where your experienced pilot will welcome you before flying to the Þórisjökull Glacier. En route, you will see Glymur waterfall, Iceland’s highest waterfall, from the air. This helicopter trip saves hours of hiking and offers panoramic views from your seat.
After landing on the glacier, take time to explore on foot, capture photos, and enjoy the fresh glacier air. Activities can include snowball fights, snow angel making, or simply appreciating the vast surroundings.
Next, the flight continues to Þingvellir National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and home to the world’s oldest existing parliament. Here you can see Iceland’s largest lake and view the rift valley marking the separation of the American and Eurasian tectonic plates.
The final landing is at the Hengill Geothermal Area, named after the Hengill volcano in a remote valley. Accessible only by helicopter or hiking, this area features hot springs and boiling mud pots, offering a close look at Iceland’s geothermal activity.
