Helicopter Ice Cave Tour
Our lead guide Einar Rúnar Sigurðsson is the Godfather of ice cave photography tours in Iceland. He will be your guide on this tour.
The tour is offered in winter months only, to remote glacier areas where trucks and hiking people cannot reach due to distance from road. Of course there might be some other companies using the service of the helicopter company to get to the same ice caves as us in the same day, but since the helicopter is the only transport there is not likely that the ice caves up there will be too crowded for our photography, and we will stay as long on each trip it takes to have the photos we want.
Of course weather has to cooperate for the tour to be possible, so we recommend to book the trip on the first possible day you have here in southeast Iceland, leaving room to move it to later date if weather makes complications.
The flight to and back from the ice caves is also an exciting experience with amazing views over glaciers and mountains of southeast Iceland. We have been offering this trip since 2019 and the pictures here on this page are all from the Helicopter Ice Cave Tour taken through the years.
Just send us an email to info@fromcoasttomountains.is and let us the day you want to do the tour and how many you are. There is space for 1-4 passengers in the helicopter plus our guide and the pilot. It is also possible to take up to 5-8 of you in a day on our tour, by having the helicopter coming two trips, but then the total price is 800.000 ISK.
