The Fagradalsfjall Volcano – Helicopter Tour from Reykjavik is one of the most extraordinary ways to experience Iceland’s unique volcanic landscape. Taking off from the capital, you’ll soar above the dramatic Reykjanes Peninsula and witness the area that became the center of global attention in 2021, when a volcanic eruption transformed the region into a breathtaking natural wonder.

On March 19, 2021, a fissure opened in the Geldingadalir valleys, just 20 miles southwest of Reykjavik. This marked the first eruption on the Reykjanes Peninsula in nearly 800 years, following weeks of intense seismic activity. Although the eruption came as a surprise after tremors subsided, it captivated locals and visitors alike for six months, creating vast lava fields and colorful craters until its last activity on September 18, 2021.

During this scenic helicopter flight, you’ll enjoy a bird’s-eye view of the eruption site, where fresh lava once flowed, forming dramatic landscapes of cooled formations and rugged terrain. While there is no visible eruption at present, the site remains awe-inspiring—an evolving reminder of Iceland’s geological forces. From above, you can fully appreciate the scale of the lava fields, the vast craters, and the stark contrast of the volcanic ground against the surrounding countryside.

Please note that the flight does not include a landing at the eruption site, but the helicopter provides unmatched aerial perspectives, ensuring you capture the very best views. Because volcanic activity is unpredictable, sightings of glowing lava cannot be guaranteed. However, the beauty of the area, combined with the excitement of flying directly from Reykjavik, makes the Fagradalsfjall Volcano – Helicopter Tour from Reykjavik an unforgettable experience for anyone visiting Iceland.
