Excellent views - Amazing experience. Pilot was excellent. Passed by the active volcano several times so everyone had multiple times to see the volcano

Lifetime Experience - Everything was first class. Easy to get to location and treated very professionally. Nice passenger lounge to wait in. The flight was fantastic. Informative and fun. I would be tempted to do it again.

Awesome experience! - I think a feedback about that tour is quite difficulty. No words or photos can really represent what you see there. So all i can say is, of course, the tour was very amazing. A feedback about our pilot/guide is easier, Gill (not sure how to write it) was our companion at our trip. A very friendly man who made us feel comfortable and safe from the beginning to the end. As a guide he answered all our questions and showed a lot of knowledge, as a pilot he was the epitome of a "smooth operater". On both sides it seemed as if he were having fun like us, even if he's doing that multiple times every day. This is not self evident, as we unfortunately found out on other tours. So all in all, it was great experience with an even greater guide from the beginnig to the end. The tour is not cheap, but it's every single crowne/euro/dollar/pound worth.

Best Iceland volcano tour ever! - First of all… Our Tesla was out of electricity, and they let us charge at their site for free! The pilot and copilot were very friendly, and very enjoyable to listen to. We were lucky with near perfect sunny weather, a great view to and from the volcano crater site. Views of the crater were amazing, and being on top of the prior lava flow, with steam still coming out was unreal! We intended to hike the site coming from Keflavik airport, to Blue Lagoon, and then Fagradsfjall Volcano. Our flight was delayed three hours, so our timing became limited, and this tour saved us completely! Our only regret was there was no active volcano to be seen… But that is the smallest part. If you wanna see the true landscape, craters, volcano, ocean, from the best view possible, take this tour!

Wonderful experience - An unforgettable experience! The pilots were very pleasant. There were only 5 people , one of whom was next to the pilots! Great! We were lucky enough to be able to land as close as possible to the crater. This allowed us to change places so that everyone could enjoy the incredible landscape ! I recommend this company!

Don’t miss this! - The helicopter ride is an amazing experience. We flew over eruption sites from the past several years and got close enough to see inside a volcanoes expected to erupt in weeks.

Just Do It! - This was a phenomenonal trip! Great view of the city of Reykjavík and the active volcano. The highlight of the trip was landing on the lava field. The solidified lava is still warm with sulphuric gas still venting. Our German pilot was fantastic! My 1st helicopter ride ever and it was great! Highly recommend.

Flight that blew away... - Very efficient and communicative. Kept up apprised of the weather (winds) and warned us of possible cancellation. Cancelled first day and re-booked for next. Weather still just as bad so unsafe to fly - cancelled also. Immediately offered refund. Excellent to work with. Will try again next trip.

Sightseeing was nice, but... - Sightseeing flight was nice, but volcanic eruption area was not flown over, supposedly not possible due to prevailing winds, as the airspace was reserved for traffic machines and thus helicopters were not allowed to fly. It's a shame. I've had a dream taken from me.
