Introduction

From your base at Hotel Ranga in Iceland's south west you can join an optional helicopter flight to see the volcano. This beautiful ranch style property provides fantastic service and a gourmet restaurant. Under clear conditions, it should be possible to view the eruption from at a distance on the ground, due to the power of the eruption.  Call us to discuss including volcano viewing in your Iceland holiday - this is possible with many of our itineraries.

With your own vehicle you will also have the opportuntity to explore the many other natural sights for which Iceland is so well known, including geysers, waterfalls and glaciers.
