Join us and discover the geothermal area of Hengill from a totally unique perspective on this helicopter tour from Reykjavik.

Helicopter Hot Springs tour

The adventure starts at the designated time at Reykjavik Airport, where we board a helicopter to the geothermal area of Hengill.

As we ascend, we witness the colorful houses of Reykjavik diminishing below. Iconic sites such as Hallgrimskirkja Church and Harpa Concert Hall become visible.

The geothermal area of Hengill, spanning 100 square kilometers (38.6 square miles) and linked to 3 volcanic systems, comes into view. The last volcanic eruption in Hengill occurred over 2000 years ago. From the helicopter, we observe vents and thermal fountains, indicating the volcano's ongoing activity.

Upon flying over this area, we will land at a safe spot to explore the old lava fields and small craters on foot. Participants can see boiling water emerging from the ground and observe the unique colors of gas seeping from below.

After the exploration of the geothermal area, we will return to the helicopter for the flight back, passing over mountains, valleys, and more lava fields.

The tour concludes with a landing at Reykjavik Airport after approximately one hour.
