Landmannalaugar & Highland Wonders Airplane Tour — Glaciers, Crater Chains & Rainbow Mountains

Set out on an up to 75-minute flight from Skaftafell Terminal deep into Iceland’s remote highlands. Trace the icy tongues of Vatnajökull’s outlet glaciers, soar across the vast Laki Crater chain, and approach the rainbow-colored rhyolite peaks of Landmannalaugar — famed for their vivid hues and geothermal hot springs. This highland circuit reveals Iceland’s raw contrasts, from glacial wilderness to volcanic wonder, all in one unforgettable journey. 

What to Expect 

• Cross the outlet glaciers of Vatnajökull, with their fractured icefalls and sweeping tongues stretching into the lowlands. 
• Fly above the Laki Crater chain, stretching nearly 25 km across the highlands — a vast fissure born from one of Iceland’s most significant eruptions.
• Continue inland to the colorful rhyolite mountains of Landmannalaugar, painted in shades of red, green, yellow, and blue, surrounded by lava fields and hot springs. 
• On your return, soar above highland canyons, glacial rivers, and volcanic ridges before descending back toward Skaftafell.
