Unforgettable Iceland: Fire & Ice Helicopter Glacier Adventure

This was our favourite activity in Iceland! Highly recommend it!! The pilot was great, we felt save the whole time and enjoyed every second of it.

We saved this experience for the second last day of our trip. It was a good choice in that it provided excellent context to our ground-level explorations. In early September, the glacier landing was surprising. Unlike the PR picture on the company's site showing a smooth snow-covered surface, we were able to get a first hand introduction to the melting and surface cracking that had been occurring all summer. Walking through the rift caused by the tectonic plates motion was striking. But the aerial view made the tremendous forces involved obvious. The whole process from booking to check-in to safety instructions was flawless, easy, and professional. The pilot was highly competent and made sure that a good time was had by all. This was one of the best parts of our trip to Iceland.

Had a fantastic ride with a great crew. They helped us adjust our flight time to ensure the best experience and went out of their way to ensure we had a terrific time. The helicopters are fantastic with super good visibility and comfort. Very good value for the money compared to similar tours - never felt rushed and we saw amazing sights we wouldn't have been able to otherwise. Highly recommend!

Went for my 30th Birthday was an amazing experience, cannot recommend enough. We were unable to land on the glacier due to strong winds so ended up making a stop at the top of a waterfall which was breathtaking!

My wife and I ended our 10 day Icelandic honeymoon with GalcierHeli for a 2 hour flight around the volcanos, glaciers and geothermals and it was spectacular! I’ve done dozens of heli tours over the years around the world and this was one of the best!

I joined the Fire and Ice Helicopter Tour: Glacier and Hengill Geothermal Area on my own, and it turned out to be an unforgettable experience. From the beginning, the staff were exceptionally kind and attentive. Traveling solo, I really appreciated how they made sure I felt welcome and comfortable throughout the process. What impressed me most was how considerate they were about seating—ensuring that every passenger had a chance to enjoy the best possible views during the flight. The scenery was absolutely stunning. Flying over geothermal areas, steaming vents, and volcanic landscapes was like entering another world. Unfortunately, the weather didn’t allow us to see the glacier this time, but the pilot made sure we explored other fascinating places, and I never felt like I missed out on the adventure. One important tip: Iceland’s weather changes quickly, so it’s worth being flexible and prepared for last-minute adjustments. Even with the change of plan, the views were breathtaking, and the whole journey felt safe, smooth, and very well organized. This tour is a must-do if you want to see Iceland from a completely different perspective. The landscapes are unforgettable, and the service is truly top-notch.

These guys exceeded our expectations. We lucked out with a beautiful sunny day, but our pilot Rena was amazing and excellent. Flying over the volcanos craters and landing on the lava flow with gaping red glowing crevices a once in a lifetime experience.

This is a must if you come to Reykjavík! The meeting place was easy to find and to get to via taxi from downtown. Our pilot was incredible, informative, and very friendly making us feel comfortable and safe throughout the entire ride. We got an opportunity to take pictures of the Glymur waterfall north of the city, then landed on a glacier with some time to get out for some exploration. Back in the sky we flew over the tectonic divide to land next to hot pools and geysers where we again had some time to take pictures and explore. The return took us over a centuries old lava flow providing a unique view of the landscape. Well worth the price of admission!!

This trip was amazing and well organized! They really make you feel cared about, the flight actually was planned for Tuesday but weatherconditions ment it had to be changed, which I personally really appreciate them being this professional. The team reached out for additional information and if there were further topics to discuss. Now on to the trip itself which took us above and to a glacier where we were able to land and take amazing pictures, the flight was then continued above the rift between the continents which makes it look even more impressive than from the ground. We also landed close to some vulcanic springs which was also really unique and impressive. Also the flight over Reykjavik itself was a blast. Lastly let me make a huge shout out to the pilot, Lena, she was part of what made the trip so special, she explained everything, gave us ample photo opportunities and made us feel safe and welcome on her flight. All in all: if you have the time, book a flight because if you don't you will miss out on one of the best if not the best experiences in Reykjavik or all of Iceland.

What a trip. Captain was excellent, very informative. Landing safely on glacier and explored. Then onto volcano landing and hot springs. worth every penny
