About Glacier Heli

Glacier Heli is a helicopter tour and charter company based in Reykjavik, Iceland. It offers sightseeing tours, private charters and aerial experiences across Iceland. Its flights take in glaciers, volcanoes, waterfalls, geothermal areas, black sand beaches and the remote highlands. Guests meet their pilot at Reykjavik Domestic Airport for a safety briefing before each flight.

The sightseeing range includes the Ice and Fire helicopter tour with two landings, a volcano flight over the Reykjanes area, a Hengill geothermal area tour, a Reykjavik city flight and a landmarks flight with three landings. A full day helicopter trip around the Ring Road is also offered. Luxury tours include an aerial expedition over the Icelandic highlands.

Proposal flights are a major part of the offer. Options include a proposal on a glacier, a proposal at an active volcano and a proposal on Mount Esja. Each proposal includes a private helicopter and pilot. The glacier version adds a landing with champagne, and a professional photographer can be booked. Custom route planning is available.

The company also offers private helicopter charters, corporate and VIP helicopter services, and custom itineraries. Private flights can be planned around the needs of the client. Groups on regular tours are limited to six passengers per flight.

The company runs three helicopters from Reykjavik. The fleet includes an EC130 B4 with six seats, an AS350 B1 with five or six seats and an AS355 twin engine helicopter with five seats. The website describes the cabin as quiet, with a 180 degree panoramic view, a flat floor and leather seating.

The business began operations in June 2022 with one aircraft and grew to three aircraft. The website says it works with licensed commercial helicopter operators, and that its aircraft are leased from European operators that hold EASA Air Operator Certificates. Flights can leave at dawn, golden hour or sunset, and bookings can be moved free of charge up to 48 hours before departure.

Glacier Heli Iceland is part of the Tourism Iceland Ltd group, a UK-registered travel company. The website lists ATOL licence 12696, issued by the UK Civil Aviation Authority, and an Icelandic travel agency licence. The site shows 153 Tripadvisor reviews with an excellent rating.
