Who Are We?
GlacierHeli is an Iceland-based helicopter tour operator established to deliver safe, professionally managed helicopter sightseeing experiences across Iceland’s most recognised natural landscapes.
We design and operate tours that provide an aerial perspective of Iceland’s glaciers, volcanic areas, coastlines, and highland terrain. Each flight is planned with a focus on operational discipline, clear guest communication, and responsible tourism, recognising Iceland’s rapidly changing weather and sensitive environments.
Our tours are built for travellers who value quality, structure, and transparency. We keep itineraries clear, meeting points defined, and expectations realistic. Routes and landing opportunities are always subject to weather, operational conditions, and pilot authority.
GlacierHeli commenced operations in June 2022 with one aircraft and has expanded in a controlled manner to three aircraft, aligned with demand and safety requirements. We operate using aircraft leased from established European operators holding valid EASA Air Operator Certificates (AOC), ensuring alignment with recognised safety and compliance standards.
If you are planning a helicopter tour in Iceland, our team will guide you through options, timing, and logistics so you can book with confidence and fly with clear expectations.
