Small-Group 1.5-Hour Helicopter Tour of Thorisjokull Glacier from Reykjavik

See Iceland from above and explore Thorisjokull glacier by booking this incredible 1.5-hour helicopter excursion. Those eager to see fjords, waterfalls, and glaciers from the air should book this small-group tour now.

Your excursion starts at Reykjavik Domestic Airport. Here, you'll meet your pilot and other guests on the tour. Each helicopter can accommodate just four passengers, so you'll get a personalized experience and plenty of opportunities to ask questions.

Your guide will give you a thorough safety briefing before you head out onto the tarmac. When you're ready, climb aboard the helicopter and make yourself comfortable.

As you take off, you'll enjoy spectacular aerial views of Reykjavik as you leave the city below you. You'll see some of the city's most famous landmarks, including Hallgrimskirkja church and the Harpa Concert Hall.

You'll fly towards Hvalfjordur and see the Glymur waterfall. As one of Iceland's tallest waterfalls, Glymur waterfall offers a breathtaking spectacle, plunging around 650 feet (198 meters) amidst a rugged and dramatic landscape.

The surrounding moss-covered cliffs, lush vegetation, and the Hvalfell mountain towering above accentuate the beauty of the waterfall. Glymur waterfall is difficult to reach on foot, so seeing it from the air is a great way to take in its scale.

Next, it's time for the main event, Thorisjokull glacier. It's located in the Icelandic Highlands, southwest of Iceland's second-largest glacier, Langjokull. The glacier volcano is around 4429 feet (1350 meters) high.

Thorisjokull glacier is known for its stunning icy landscapes, crevasses, and snowfields.

Here, the helicopter will land on the ice, subject to the day's conditions. You'll be able to get out and look around the area. Enjoy magnificent mountain views in every direction.

If you cannot land here, your pilot will find somewhere else. This landing will be somewhere equally as scenic, where you can appreciate the vistas. Remember to bring your camera to capture them.

When it's time, you'll begin the flight back to Reykjavik. On the way, you'll fly over Skjaldbreidur volcano. Skjaldbreidur volcano, often called the "Broad Shield" in Icelandic, is a distinctive shield volcano in the Icelandic Highlands.

Its unique circular shape and broad, flat summit make it stand out amidst the volcanic landscape of Iceland.

Skjaldbreidur volcano has a crater with a diameter of about 984 feet (300 meters) and is characterized by its gentle slopes. This dormant volcano has not erupted in recorded history, adding to its allure as a geological wonder.

You'll also fly over the continental rift to the Thingvellir National Park, where the Eurasian and North American tectonic plates meet.

The excursion finishes when you land at Reykjavik Domestic Airport with memories to last a lifetime.
