Private Reykjavík Folklore & Cat Walking Tour Combo
Pickup available · 3 hours 30 minutes
Soar over Reykjavík by helicopter, taking in sweeping views of the city, lava fields, and surrounding mountains before landing on a hilltop summit to celebrate with a glass of sparkling wine. A private, unforgettable Icelandic experience lasting 30–50 minutes in total.
The Heli-Happy Hour is a private helicopter experience that lifts you above Reykjavík for a round trip to one of the table-top mountains surrounding the city. As you fly, the colourful rooftops of the capital spread out below you, giving way to neighbouring towns, the coastal plain, and vast lava fields that speak to Iceland's volcanic origins.
After 15–20 minutes in the air, your pilot lands on a mountain summit overlooking the city. Here, with panoramic views of the Reykjavík cityscape, distant peaks, and the open countryside stretching to the horizon, you'll celebrate with a chilled bottle of sparkling wine — a toast to one of the most spectacular vantage points in Iceland.
The full experience runs 30–50 minutes, combining the thrill of low-altitude flight with a relaxed, scenic pause on the hilltop. Whether you're marking a special occasion or simply seeking something extraordinary, this tour delivers a perspective on Iceland's capital that few visitors ever see.
Departures operate from Norðurflug at Nauthólsvegur in Reykjavík. The exact start time is confirmed by the operator after booking, as scheduling is coordinated around weather conditions and passenger details.
Pickup or meeting details are confirmed during booking.
Your experience begins at Norðurflug on Nauthólsvegur in Reykjavík, where you'll meet your pilot and receive a brief safety introduction before boarding the helicopter.
The total tour duration is 30–50 minutes. The interior of the helicopter is comfortable and sheltered, but mountain tops can be cold and windy — dress in warm layers accordingly.
The Heli-Happy Hour stands apart as one of Reykjavík's most distinctive private experiences. Rather than simply flying over the landscape, you actually land on a mountain summit and spend time there — glass in hand — with a 360-degree view that no road or hiking trail can match.
Sparkling wine is included, making this an ideal choice for celebrations, anniversaries, or anyone who wants to mark their Iceland visit with something genuinely memorable. The tour is operated by Norðurflug, Iceland's most established helicopter tour provider, with an experienced team that prioritises both safety and guest experience at every step.
15–20 minute guided helicopter flight over Reykjavík and surrounding landscape, 20–30 minute landing on a mountain summit, and a bottle of sparkling wine to enjoy on the hilltop.
We recommend that you wear good shoes, warm jacket, a hat and gloves. It does cold not get cold inside the helicopter (similar to sitting in a car) but it can get cold and windy on Icelandic mountain tops.
