Your Reykjavík Summit Iceland helicopter tour really will give you the best panoramic views of Reykjavík, the local mountains and the ocean.

Stand on the mountain in silent witness and gaze at the glittering vastness of the azure ocean which extends out before you far below. Your Reykjavík Summit helicopter tour Iceland will give you a grandstand view of the wider Faxaflói Bay area, of which Reykjavík is but a small part. You will see numerous small islands stretching out as far as your eye can see.

Reykjavík means ‘smoky bay’, witnessing the surreal clouds of steam wafting from hot springs on distant hillsides – you will surely understand why Reykjavík is so named. Gazing upon the quaint and colorful towns and villages far away will give you a real appreciation of the vastness of this Arctic world and beyond.

We’ve partnered with the Kolviður Fund in a new carbon offsetting program, which passengers can select to participate in at the time of booking.
The Kolviður Fund is the oldest, most respected carbon offsetting program in Iceland. With your support, one tree will be planted in special Kolviður forests in Iceland to carbon offset your tour with us.
Kolviður forests are strategically planted to absorb the maximum amount of CO2 and the forests are protected for a minimum of 60 years. During their lifetime the trees absorb carbon and store it in their root system, trunk, and branches. Trees also prevent soil erosion and maintain storage of carbon in the soil.
