    Great way to see Iceland

    We absolutely loved our helicopter experience. It was a beautiful sunshine filled day and every location was stunning. Our pilot was skilled, safe and very knowledgeable about all the locations we toured.

    WOW! It was unbelievable, unforgettable experience! GlacierHeli thanks! The owner of the company, Usman, was very nice and friendly. The pilot was super professional and kind. This trip is worth of every cent we paid! If you want to see a real Island, don’t hesitate, take a helicopter tour! Especially the tour like this to see the most beautiful places of the country.

    Sooo worth it, best exclusive views

    Fabulous few hours, 3 landings, and flew over other amazing attractions. We flew over Reykjavík then onto stokkur geysirs, thingvellir national park & gulfoss. We stopped at Haifoss & Grannifoss, then off to Landmannaguar and next to glacier “ short name E15” Landmannaguar was so amazing it did not look real, this was the main reason I chose this flight, and the glacier was just as amazing. Our pilots Aaron & Philip were super friendly and helpful and we weren’t rushed , they gave quick tutorial on headphones and mics. I would definitely recommend as it ticks off quiet a few amazing views you cannot get from diving and hiking so unique

    Landmarks from Above: Helicopter tour with 3 Landings: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Reykjavik.

    How much does Landmarks from Above: Helicopter tour with 3 Landings cost?

    +

    Prices start at $1,657 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Reykjavik usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Landmarks from Above: Helicopter tour with 3 Landings take?

    +

    Plan for about 3 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Reykjavik is not rushed.

    Is Landmarks from Above: Helicopter tour with 3 Landings worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 53 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.7/5 across 13 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Reykjavik, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Landmarks from Above: Helicopter tour with 3 Landings?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Landmarks from Above: Helicopter tour with 3 Landings suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Landmarks from Above: Helicopter tour with 3 Landings?

    +

    Around 5 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Reykjavik can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Reykjavik and add a light layer if any part of the 3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Landmarks from Above: Helicopter tour with 3 Landings start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Reykjavik within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Reykjavik?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Reykjavik experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Reykjavik Food Walk - Local Foodie Adventure in Iceland, Silfra Snorkeling Between Continents Photos Included- Self Drive, Small-Group Golden Circle, Blue Lagoon with Ticket & Kerid Crater. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Reykjavik?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Reykjavik?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

    What is included in Landmarks from Above: Helicopter tour with 3 Landings?

    +

    Included: English Guide; and 3 Landings. Not included: Food & Drinks. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Where is the meeting point for Landmarks from Above: Helicopter tour with 3 Landings?

    +

    We are located right behind hotel Natura. If you have any confusions, Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.

    What languages is Landmarks from Above: Helicopter tour with 3 Landings offered in?

    +

    It runs in English. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.

    Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Landmarks from Above: Helicopter tour with 3 Landings?

    +

    Is Landmarks from Above: Helicopter tour with 3 Landings wheelchair or stroller accessible?

    +

    The operator notes: Not recommended for pregnant travelers. If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.

    What happens to Landmarks from Above: Helicopter tour with 3 Landings if the weather is bad?
