Why it's on Icebreaker
Norðurflug Helicopter Tours
Reykjavík sits on a hill with sea and mountains on every side, which makes it hard not to wonder how it looks from above. Norðurflug answers that from the domestic airport on Nauthólsvegur, five minutes' drive from the centre. A helicopter does not ease into the air like a plane; it goes straight up, and the painted rooftops of 101 drop away within seconds. The 40-minute summit tour flies over the city and lands on a nearby mountaintop. The hour-long geothermal flight takes in craters, lava fields and steaming power plants, then sets down beside hot springs on an old volcano. Longer trips add a glacier landing, and another flight covers the Reykjanes eruption sites. Everything is weather dependent. Grapevine's writer left suspecting it could become an expensive habit.
From the Icebreaker app, curated with The Reykjavík Grapevine.

About this tour
Enjoy our most popular tour over geothermal hot springs, colourful mountain ranges, power plants, lava fields and craters! Above that, land far away from the busier tourist areas to witness the raw, primeval energy rising up from the earth beneath. Start your trip from Reykjavik Domestic Airport, just 5 minutes drive from the centre of the city. Be ready to begin your trip with a fantastic view of Reykjavik area and watch it slip away as you make your way to colorful mountain ranges with hot springs right next to them. Continue your journey to area that is known for its lava fields and craters. Use the chance to peek into a crater from a helicopter! Where else are you able to be just above it while sitting in warmth and comfort. Later on you will be able to see Icelands power plants that Icelanders are so proud of, let our wise pilot describe you more about how it works. After landing in a stunning spot near hot springs, use the chance to take some breath-taking photos for a memory of a lifetime! The flight concludes with a flyover of Reykjavik to give an aerial overview of the city while we return to the starting point, Reykjavik Domestic Airport.
