About Tour - Active Volcano Helicopter Tour from Reykjavik

Departing from Reykjavik, our helicopter tour takes you to the latest eruption site, which began on March 16th, 2024. Witnessing this new natural wonder firsthand is an unforgettable experience and a must-do while in Iceland.

The volcanic activity on the Reykjanes Peninsula began on March 19th, 2021, lasting six months and creating an expansive lava plateau and numerous craters. This was the first eruption in the region since the 14th century, following three weeks of over 50,000 earthquakes.

On August 3rd, 2022, a new eruption added more lava to the existing plateau. The volcanic activity continued with another eruption on July 10th, 2023, further expanding the lava field.

The chain of eruptions intensified on December 18th, 2023, at Sundhnúkahraun, marking the strongest eruption since 2021. Although this event was brief, lasting only three days, it triggered a series of eruptions in early 2024: the second eruption on January 14th, the third on February 8th, and the fourth on March 16th.

During this flight, you will explore the entire eruption area from above, marveling at the vibrant colors and immense craters while enjoying the breathtaking surrounding landscape.

The tour lasts approximately 60 minutes. While we do not land at the eruption site, we ensure an exceptional viewing experience from the air.

Please note that some photos might be from earlier eruptions.
