The dynamic capital city of Reykjavík is located in southern Iceland. While is it famed as the country's economic and cultural centre, Reykjavík is also surrounded by some of the world's most distinctive topography, including lava fields and craters, the Mount Esja mountain range, and Faxaflói Bay.

You'll return to the original departure point with lifelong memories of this action-packed helicopter flight over Reykjavík and will have ample time to relax before the Northern Lights boat tour from Reykjavík begins.

The adventure continues at Reykjavík's Old Harbour, where you'll meet a knowledgeable English-speaking guide and experienced Captain. Once onboard the boat, you'll receive thermal overalls along with a safety and itinerary briefing. Then, the Captain will chart a course along the city's sparkling coastline, away from the lights and towards the best spot to view the vibrant colour of the Northern Lights.
