Geothermal Hot Springs Helicopter Tour in Hengill

Join us to discover the geothermal area of Hengill from a helicopter tour from Reykjavik.

Helicopter Hot Springs tour

The adventure begins at Reykjavik Airport, where we will board a helicopter to the geothermal area of Hengill.

As we ascend, the colorful houses of Reykjavik will appear smaller below. Key sites such as the Hallgrimskirkja Church and Harpa Concert Hall will be visible during the flight.

The geothermal area of Hengill, spanning 100 square kilometers (38.6 square miles), is one of the largest geothermal areas in Iceland, connected to three volcanic systems. The last volcanic eruption in Hengill occurred over 2000 years ago. From the helicopter, you will see vents and thermal fountains that indicate the area's volcanic activity.

After flying over Hengill, we will land at a designated safe spot, allowing you to explore the old lava fields and small craters on foot. Observe boiling water emerging from the surface and the colors of gas seeping through the ground.

Following the exploration, we will return to the helicopter and fly back, passing over mountains, valleys, and more lava fields.

The tour concludes with our landing back at Reykjavik Airport after one hour.
