What you can see
Visit Iceland lists the main sightseeing areas: Reykjavík, its harbour, Faxaflói Bay and Mount Esja; the Fagradalsfjall lava field, which the page says covers about 5 square kilometres; the Fimmvörðuháls mountain pass between Eyjafjallajökull and Mýrdalsjökull; Þingvellir, Vatnajökull, Snæfellsjökull, the South Coast, Landmannalaugar, Þórsmörk and Skaftafell; the waterfalls Háifoss and Glymur; and the geothermal areas Hengill and the Hellisheiði plateau. A flight over Reykjavík and Mount Esja takes 30 to 45 minutes. Most operators can arrange tailored trips, including private small-group tours.
Choosing a tour
The price rises with the destination and length. For a first flight, the Reykjavík Summit is the cheapest on the list and the Heli – Happy Hour next at ISK 49,900. The Geothermal Tour and the Volcano Tour cost ISK 68,750 and ISK 73,500. The Volcano Tour page states that the eruption is no longer active, so it shows the lava fields rather than a live eruption; read volcano tours in Iceland before choosing between a flight and a hike. The Glacier Landing is the tour that includes a landing, at ISK 137,500.
The GetYourGuide listing
The Fire and Ice helicopter tour from Reykjavik with 2 landings is rated 4.8 out of 5 from 177 reviews on 8 November 2026; the price depends on the date and the group. The operator's own list shows its Fire and Ice tour at ISK 169,900.
