Start your trip from Reykjavik Domestic Airport, just a 5-minute drive from the center of the city. Be ready to begin your helicopter ride with a fantastic view of the Reykjavik area and watch it fade into the distance as you make your way to colorful mountain ranges with hot springs.

Later on, you will be able to see Iceland’s power plants that Icelanders are so proud of and hear more about how it works from your knowledgeable pilot.

After landing in a stunning spot near hot springs, take some breathtaking photos to capture a memory of a lifetime! The flight concludes by flying over Reykjavik to give an aerial overview of the city before you return to the starting point, Reykjavik Domestic Airport.
