Your pilot narrates which productions filmed at each location and shares behind-the-scenes stories from aerial filming work, focusing on the terrain itself rather than props or sets that are removed after production. The route spans from the Hellisheidi plateau through the Golden Circle into the highland interior and back via the south coast and Reykjanes peninsula, giving film enthusiasts and landscape lovers alike a comprehensive aerial tour of Iceland's most recognisable backdrops. 📍 Location Iceland's southwest and highland regions have served as alien planets, fantasy realms and post-apocalyptic wastelands for major international productions, thanks to volcanic terrain that looks like nowhere else on Earth. Hengill's steaming slopes, Thingvellir's rift valley and Thorsmork's sheltered basin each offer distinct visual character that directors return to again and again. Jarlhettur's volcanic peaks and the Reykjanes lava fields complete a route that covers the full range of Iceland's film-ready landscapes, from geothermal steam and tectonic fissures to glacial valleys and black rock coastlines. Ground stops at two highland locations let you stand inside the frames that cameras have captured from the air. ✅ Prerequisites No flying experience is required.

The full experience lasts approximately three and a half hours including check in, two ground stops, extensive aerial sightseeing and return to the airport base. Allow at least 15 minutes before departure for briefing and boarding. Ground stops at Jarlhettur and Thorsmork give time for photographs and exploration. ### Where do we meet? Flights depart from Reykjavik Domestic Airport at Nauthólsvegur 58d, building 313, hangar 1, on the east side of the airport behind the Icelandair Reykjavik Natura hotel. The base is not at the commercial airline terminal. Taxis from central Reykjavik typically take around five minutes. ### What film locations will we see?

Your pilot shares stories from aerial filming work on these locations, pointing out recognisable backdrops from the air. ### What happens in bad weather? Helicopter flights depend on weather and aviation conditions. If conditions are unsafe, the pilot may adjust the route, omit landings or postpone the flight. Highland and landing sites may be adjusted based on conditions on the day. The pilot makes the final call to keep everyone safe. ### What should I wear? Wear sturdy shoes, a warm jacket, hat and gloves for highland landing stops. The cabin stays comfortable during flight, similar to a car interior. Bring a camera with plenty of storage. This tour covers visually spectacular terrain and two ground stops ideal for photography. ### Is the flight suitable for children? Children are welcome subject to aircraft capacity. Infants may need to sit on a parent lap depending on the aircraft configuration and local aviation rules.

If the minimum is not reached, you may be offered an alternative date or join another scheduled departure. Contact the team if you are a smaller group to discuss availability and scheduling options. ### Will we see actual film sets? The tour focuses on the landscapes themselves rather than specific film props or sets, which are typically removed after production. Your pilot narrates which productions filmed at each location and shares behind-the-scenes stories from aerial filming work in the area. ### Which films were shot in these locations?
