Itinerary:

  1. Takeoff at Reykjavik Domestic Airport: Begin your airborne adventure from Reykjavik Domestic Airport, conveniently located just a 5-minute drive from the heart of the city.

  2. Reykjavik City Flyover: As you ascend, watch the mosaic of colorful rooftops unfold beneath you. From this vantage point, the city's landmarks such as the iconic Hallgrímskirkja Church and the modern architectural wonder, Harpa Concert Hall, stand out prominently against the urban setting. Don't miss the shimmering bay and the city's unique urban sprawl.

  3. Presidential Sightings: As you hover over the Reykjavik area, inquire with your pilot to show you the official residence of Iceland's president. A blend of tradition and security, it's a sight to behold!

  4. To the Mountains: Leaving the bustling city behind, the helicopter ventures towards the pristine landscapes encircling Reykjavik. The transition from urban to natural is a sight in itself.

  5. Mountain Summit Landing: The pinnacle of the journey - landing atop a nearby mountain. Here, you're afforded an unparalleled view of Reykjavik's cityscape juxtaposed against the vast Icelandic countryside. It's a perfect moment for those frame-worthy photographs.
