The Experience
Beyond the roads and beyond the crowds, the highlands awaken in color, silence, and ancient force. This is the vast, rugged backbone of the island, a place where volcanoes and glaciers meet under endless skies. The Highland Explorer reveals the landscapes that few ever see, offering a sense of isolation and scale that can only be found in the deep interior of Iceland.
The Details
This expedition covers the sapphire crater lakes of Veiðivötn and the legendary 27-kilometer-long Laki volcanic fissure, a system of over 130 craters from a massive historical eruption. We navigate the long glacial lake of Langisjór and the edge of the Vatnajökull , Europe’s largest ice cap by volume. The tour includes two remote landings, allowing you to step out into landscapes shaped by time, from volcanic plateaus to high-altitude ridges.
At A Glance
• Fly over Laki craters, and the colourful Landmannalaugar mountains.
• Views of the Veiðivötn crater lakes and the 122m Háifoss waterfall.
• Unique perspective of Vatnajökull, a massive ice sheet covering 8% of Iceland’s landmass.
• Two remote landings in the deep highland interior when weather allows.
What’s included
- Approx. 3.5—4 hours helicopter tour
- Approx. two 15-minute scenic landings (weather permitting)
- Private helicopter exclusively for your group.
- Experienced pilot
- Bose noise-cancelling headsets
- Helicopter with capacity for up to 4 passengers.
What to bring
- Footwear: Sturdy hiking or winter boots are recommended, as our landings often take place on uneven mountain terrain or snow.

Good to know

- Alternative Routes: If conditions prevent us from taking the planned path, we will offer an alternative route.
- Flexibility: We are often able to postpone the flight by a few hours until the weather passes or reschedule to a different date, subject to availability.
- Cancellations: If we must cancel due to weather and rescheduling is not an option, we will issue a 100% refund.
- - We are based at Reykjavík Domestic Airport (not Keflavík International), a 10–15 minute drive from downtown. You can find us on Google Maps under “ Volcano Heli – Iceland .”
