Hot Springs & Glaciers — PRIVATE TOUR

The Experience

Take flight on a journey where the four elements converge: fire, ice, water, and air. Heat rises from the crust below as glaciers stretch toward the horizon, while rivers create intricate patterns through the valleys. This is more than sightseeing; it is a front-row seat to the power of the elements. From the colorful rhyolite mountains to the ice-covered giants of the south, you will experience the surreal beauty of a landscape still finding its form.

The Details

This route focuses on the southern highlands, flying over the iconic glacier-volcanoes of Eyjafjallajökull and Mýrdalsjökull. We explore the hidden valley of Þórsmörk and the steaming, multi-colored landscapes of Landmannalaugar. The flight also tracks the infamous Hekla volcano and the massive Háifosswaterfall, which plunges 400 feet into a volcanic canyon, providing an exhaustive survey of Iceland’s most famous highland landmarks.
