About this experience

Imagine flying high above Iceland’s volcanic landscapes and landing on top of a vast glacier, surrounded by nothing but pristine snow and endless mountain views. This private helicopter flight offers the ultimate setting for a magical proposal.

Your pilot will take you from Reykjavík across dramatic highlands and volcanoes before gently landing on Þórisjökull Glacier, a breathtaking ice cap at the foot of Langjökull. Stepping out onto the untouched glacier surface, you’ll find Champagne and flowers waiting — included in the price — as the perfect touch to celebrate your “Yes.”

The pilot will keep the surprise secret until you’re ready, making the moment truly unforgettable. A professional photographer can also be arranged at additional cost to capture your proposal in this once-in-a-lifetime location.

Detailed itinerary

Þórisjökull is a small but striking glacier in West Iceland, resting quietly between Langjökull glacier and the shield volcano Skjaldbreiður. Unlike Iceland’s larger glaciers, Þórisjökull feels remote and untouched, making it an extraordinary landing spot for a private moment.
The glacier offers sweeping views across the Highlands, with shimmering ice fields, rugged volcanic formations, and distant mountain peaks stretching in every direction. Its location makes it both accessible by helicopter and wonderfully isolated — a place where silence and nature surround you completely.
Landing on Þórisjökull feels like stepping into a frozen world far from everyday life. With nothing but snow, ice, and endless horizons, it creates an unforgettable setting for a romantic proposal or quiet celebration.
