Private Hot Air Balloon Experience in South Iceland - Reserve the Entire Basket for Your Group
3 hours · From Reykjavík

This is one of Iceland's rarest and most intimate summer experiences. For a few precious weeks each year, at the height of the Icelandic summer, a small number of hot air balloon flights take off from Selfoss, offering a perspective of this island that very few will ever see. Float quietly over green valleys, rivers, and volcanic land, with amazing views all around you. With only six places available per flight, this is as close to a private sky as it gets. Three daily departures let you choose your moment: the crisp clarity of a morning ascent, the warm glow of an afternoon drift, or the extraordinary golden light of an evening flight under Iceland's midnight sun.
Your experience begins with a comfortable transfer from your accommodation anywhere in the Capital Area. An experienced driver takes you to the launch site near Selfoss, where a crew with over 30 years of flight expertise prepares your balloon. The flight itself lasts approximately 90 minutes, followed by a traditional champagne toast and light refreshments upon landing.
Availability is strictly limited. Flights operate only during a short window in July and August, with just three departures per day and a maximum of six guests per flight. Places fill quickly. Early booking is essential to secure your preferred date and time.
Please note: this is a shared experience with a maximum of six guests per balloon. If you book all six places, the flight is yours alone.
