Fire & Ice by Helicopter
Overview
Some of Iceland's most extraordinary places have no road. By helicopter you fly over fresh lava fields and steaming fissures, across ice caps and into highland valleys, landing where few people ever stand.
Iceland's weather decides when we fly. Your specialist builds in flexible days so that delays cost you nothing but a change of plan.
Season: All year, weather permitting — flights can be delayed. See dates & prices.
Regions: Vatnajökull & the Glacier Lagoon, The Highlands, Reykjavík
