Glacier Express Helicopter

See The Glacier Up Close

When standing next to, or on a glacier you really get some perspective of how small we humans really are. Feel the power of the glacier and experience it from above as well as up close and personal.

This tour takes you to Glymur waterfall, the glacier Thorisjokull (Þórisjökull), the Thingvellir National Park (Þingvellir) as well as a journey through Hvalfjordur. The waterfall Glymur is the tallest waterfall in Iceland and it has a drop of over 640 feet. Weather permitting, there will be a landing on top of the glacier, and as a backup plan the landing will be right next to it. See how the American and European tectonic plates are ripping apart, with a crack that is clearly visible from above as well as on the ground. The tour will take approximately 90 minutes, and ends back in Reykjavik.

Why not save the hike for another day and just book your tour straight to the top?
