What To Expect

Reykjanes Peninsula

Reykjanes Peninsula is one of Iceland’s most geologically active regions, located just 30 km (19 miles) from Reykjavík. Home to multiple eruptions since 2021, this volcanic zone offers visitors a rare chance to witness freshly formed lava fields and dramatic landscapes shaped by ongoing tectonic activity. With only 5–6 seats per helicopter, your experience is intimate and immersive, providing panoramic views and close-up perspectives of this dynamic environment.While eruptions are natural and may not always be active, the region's seismic history—over 50,000 earthquakes in recent years, makes every visit a thrilling journey into Iceland’s ever-changing Earth.
