SPECIAL PROMOTION
The most obvious advantage to
helicopter travel is that it opens
a new world to the visitor—
allowing access to places that might
otherwise take many hours of chal-
lenging off-road hiking to reach.
Taking a helicopter ride is both a thrilling adrenaline rush, and
also a totally new way to appreciate nature from above. There is
simply no other feeling like it.
THE BEST EXPERIENCE
Helo operates Iceland’s only luxury helicopter which accommo-
dates up to six passengers in face-to-face executive leather seats,
each with unrivalled views. Passengers have top-of-the-range
BOSE noise-canceling headsets to chat and listen to music in
peace.
The helicopter is fitted with rare floor-to-ceiling bubble win-
dows, which allow an almost panoramic view from sky to ground
and work to enhance the feeling of flying. The Bell 407 is famous
for its efficient operation and great safety record.
Helo also has access to other helicopters, which allow the com-
pany to consistently provide reliable service and have extra ca-
pacity for large groups.
YOUR CHOICE
Helo offers a wide range of helicopter tours around Iceland. From
the surprisingly affordable aerial view of Reykjavík and its sur-
rounding mountains, to the even more exotic trip to North Ice-
land’s unforgettable Diamond Circle.
All tours include complementary pickup from the city center
or your hotel.
Tours are available as private hire, which means you can pay
a flat rate to have the helicopter all to yourselves. If there are
five or six of you, then this works out cheaper—but if there are
only a couple of you, it works out to be more personal, more
spacious, more luxurious and totally unforgettable.
A lot of the tours are available on a ticketed basis as well,
which means lone travelers or small groups can save money by
sharing the helicopter with others. Tours will fly as long as at
least two tickets have been sold.
NO LIMITS
Helo tours are designed to offer the very best of Iceland,
whether you want to see the geysers, breathtaking waterfalls,
glaciers, the highlands, imposing sea cliffs or bubbling geo-
thermal mud pools, there’s a tour for you. Let the helicopter
take you to Iceland’s greatest luxury: personal space, wilder-
ness and solitude.
For the occasions when you have something more specific in
mind, Helo also offers its helicopters for rent at a simple hourly
rate. The set-up is exactly the same, except this time it’s you
who decide exactly where to go. These private tours have the
added bonus of setting out from a location of your choice.
