This tour has ended. But we might do it again in the future, if there is demand.
Get ready to explore Iceland like never before—wheels down at least every hour, in small planes like a NXCub – whatever floats your boat, er, bird – as you hug the world‑famous Ring Road around the island. This “Ring Road Rally” is designed for pilots who crave epic scenery and bush‑flying thrills. You’ll touch down on volcanic gravel, black‑sand beaches, airport runways—and even a glacier tongue!
Tour Highlights
- Þingvellir Rift Valley
Take off from Reykjavík’s BIRK and head ENE to orbit the dramatic Almannagjá canyon, then drop into the grass strip beside Iceland’s tectonic meeting point. - Geysir & Gullfoss
Feel the heat as you land next to boiling hot springs in Haukadalur, then hop to the “Golden Falls” for a tight spiral descent and up‑close view of Europe’s thundering cataract. - Eyjafjallajökull Glacier
Make good use of tundra tires and set down right on the glacier tongue below the infamous 2010 crater—an unforgettable off‑airport moment. - Black‑Sand Beaches & Iceberg Lagoon
Fly your bird as low as possible over Vík’s Reynisdrangar sea stacks, then continue to Skaftafell and Jökulsárlón for beach touches beside icebergs that look like diamonds in the sun. - East Fjords & Dettifoss
Refuel in Höfn and Egilsstaðir before a wilderness landing atop Europe’s most powerful waterfall. - Mývatn Pseudocraters & Arctic Circle
Swing by steaming fumaroles at Hverir, dip into Akureyri, then climb north to Grimsey Island to cross the Arctic Circle on wheels! - Basalt Stacks & Iconic Peaks
Tour the dragon‑shaped Hvitserkur, poke a tire onto Sauðárkrókur’s strip, and finish with a roadside landing at Kirkjufell’s fairy‑tale cone before returning to Reykjavík.
