Black Sands & Riverbeds Airplane Tour from Skaftafell

Skaftafell (Iceland)

B-5635
$ 407.93

Location

Take off from Skaftafell Terminal on this up to 45-minute airplane tour in Iceland and explore the vast black sand plains of South Iceland. This flight focuses on Skeiðarársandur, where glacial rivers flow from Vatnajökull toward the coast, continuously reshaping the landscape.

What to Expect

After departure, your pilot will guide the route based on weather and visibility, focusing on the most striking river patterns and conditions of the day. You’ll fly over Skeiðarársandur, where meltwater rivers spread out across the sand, creating intricate braided patterns that shift with the seasons.

As the flight continues, you’ll see how these rivers connect back to the glacier, with views toward Skeiðarárjökull and nearby outlet glaciers feeding the plains below.

You may see:

  • Skeiðarársandur black sand plains
  • Braided glacial rivers and river systems
  • Skeiðarárjökull glacier
  • Surrounding outlet glaciers of Vatnajökull

Why Choose This Tour
