Itinerary

Take Off Over Reykjavik

Your journey begins at Reykjavik Domestic Airport, where you’ll meet your experienced pilot. After a safety briefing, board a small plane designed to carry up to five passengers, ensuring an intimate and personalized experience.

As the plane takes off, feel the thrill of lift-off as Reykjavik shrinks beneath you. From above, admire the colorful rooftops of Iceland’s capital, the shimmering waters of Faxaflói Bay, and iconic landmarks like Hallgrímskirkja Church.

Soar Over the Reykjanes Peninsula

Leaving Reykjavik, the landscape transforms into the volcanic wilderness of the Reykjanes Peninsula. This region, shaped by millennia of eruptions, offers breathtaking views of barren lava fields, cone-shaped mountains, and steaming geothermal areas.

Along the way, enjoy views of dramatic coastlines, picturesque fishing villages, and the serene Lake Kleifarvatn, nestled in a rugged volcanic valley.

Witness Recent Volcanic Eruptions

The highlight of your tour is flying over the sites of Iceland’s recent volcanic activity, including Fagradalsfjall, Geldingadalur, Litli-Hrútur, and Sundhnúkur. These volcanoes have erupted spectacularly since 2021, with the latest activity in November 2024.

From the sky, marvel at newly formed lava fields, steaming craters, and molten lava flows creating fresh land. The fiery contrasts of glowing lava against Iceland’s rugged landscape are truly unforgettable.

Return Journey to Reykjavik

After soaking in these extraordinary sights, your pilot will guide the plane back to Reykjavik. On a clear day, enjoy breathtaking views of the Snæfellsnes Peninsula and the majestic Snæfellsjökull Glacier across the bay.

Touching down smoothly at Reykjavik Airport, you’ll leave with memories of an adventure like no other.
