If scooters are a bit too slow for you, the newest ‘birds in the sky to join the puffins are “whirleybirds” – a fleet of helicopter tours by Nordurflug, Iceland’s leading helicopter service. There are over a half dozen tours that whisk you over the capital city, to the Blue Lagoon, even out to the Westman islands to fly over Surtsey, one of the world’s newest islands. If that’s not enough, you can even land on Langjokull glacier and carve out fresh ice cubes for your drinks or take a snowmobile tour. Prices start at about $280 per person. Tired of the same old “been there, done that” trip? Well it’s a safe bet you haven’t been to Iceland yet doing this. (For more information: www.heli.is)
