About this tour

Your journey begins at the Skaftafell Terminal, where you will board your aircraft for an exhilarating flight of up to 75 minutes. As you ascend, you will leave the coast behind and soar across the sprawling glacier outlets of Vatnajökull, gaining a unique aerial perspective of the rugged interior that remains inaccessible to most travelers.

From your vantage point in the sky, you will witness the dramatic diversity of Iceland’s highland wilderness. Your route takes you directly over the natural wonderland of Landmannalaugar, where you can admire mountains painted in vibrant hues of red, yellow, and green. Below you, the landscape unfolds in a tapestry of geothermal valleys, ancient lava fields, and hidden crater lakes.

This flight is designed for adventurers and photographers who are eager to capture the most remote and colorful vistas in the country. By choosing this tour, you trade the traditional road for the clouds, allowing you to fully appreciate the raw, untamed beauty of Iceland’s interior as you traverse its most spectacular volcanic and glacial terrain.
