By Helicopter to Ridges No One Else Has Stood On: Deplar Farm, Iceland

Trip Summary

Five nights at Deplar Farm — the most kinetic version of the experience. This is Iceland accessed from the air: private helicopter departures from the lodge's own helipad each morning, soaring over glacial valleys and rivers of ice, landing atop untouched ridges with the Arctic Ocean on the horizon. Heli-hikes, paddleboarding on frozen alpine lakes, soaking in remote geothermal springs reached only by air — each flight privately choreographed to your family's rhythm. Back at the lodge, the geothermal pool, spa, and floatation tanks offer the counterbalance. Evenings in the glass-walled dining room overlooking the Fljót Valley, or at a private mountain outpost with dinner under the stars. Optional private heli-fly-fishing, professional photo and video capture, and a Viking Dinner for buyout groups. A dedicated curator designs every day. All meals, guided activities, equipment, and Akureyri transfers included.
