Fresh fish starts with a short boat ride. I love the small 12-person crew run by brothers Jakob and Julian, and I love getting taken to secret spots in Reykjavík that are hard to find on your own. The main…

Above Reykjavik, the world shrinks. This private helicopter ride gives you a brand-new vantage on the Reykjanes Peninsula—over craters and lava fields—then swings past Reykjavik’s rooftops and coastal cliffs. I love the new perspective on Iceland’s volcano story, and I…
