1.From Reykjavik: New Volcanic Area Helicopter Tour

★★★★★★★★★★4.8 · 500 reviews · 40 min · from $577Our pick

Helicopter flight from Reykjavik over Reykjanes lava fields and recent volcanoes, with crater views, photo time, and expert pilots.

“my tip is to book this one early in your holiday so if it needs to be rescheduled because of the weather, you still have other days left to try again. My initial booking had to be rescheduled because of bad weather (safety first!) and the company was very flexible and great in scheduling a different day and time. it was expensive but worth it! just absolutely magical to see the mountain and volcanic areas from above. And we even got to land on a volcano, it was so cool! I am glad I did this so I could see the volcanic craters up close. So so beautiful”

The pilot flew "bananas" around it for 8 minutes ensuring that everyone could see it well, not depending on the seat chosen in the helicopter. Afterwards we spent a few minutes to see the old eruptions sites of the last years. It was an amazing experience.”
