Vacation topper - Awesome - you think you see incredible stuff on the ground (and you do) but taking to the air is super special!! We saw volcanic craters and lakes and were awed by the sheer scale of land around the volcano. We got to land on, then walk on, the lava field which was a once in a lifetime experience. Our pilot was excellent, she explained everything we were looking at and provided a smooth flight for us - money well spent.

Flying over volcanoes near Keflavik Int Airport - If you want to see red, glowing lava then book a date/time as soon as you know you are going to be in Reykjavik for a couple of pre-determine dates. I did not do this early enough so all the potential evening/night flights were taken by others. My original date/time was postponed due to poor weather. Without hesitation Glacial offered the same trip at 0800 the following morning. - brilliant! Easy flight with a helpfull pilot who was willing to answer questions as we flew over the volcano system and the "Blue Laggon Geothermal and Lagoon complex" located just south of Keflavik Airport. You can see how the active volcano (a line ridge type develops) On the way back two magical moments as we flew back 1 An updside down rainbow of more than 180 degrees 2 A small pod of whales were feeding on a shoal of fish below

Helicopter tour - Absolutely an amazing experience. Volcano views, lava fields, geothermal areas and the city and landscape. Our pilot could have been a movie star. Better than Tom Cruise in competence, looks and kindness. I was nervous but felt safe always. This one was a very good decision!

Wonderful flight over fascinating volcano craters and lava flows with views of Reykjavik and surrounds was spectacular - This helicopter tour of the volcanoes was amazing and excellent! We all loved and were spellbound with the experience. Landing and walking on the lava flows of a recent eruption, and flying over many craters and older lava flows was completely fascinating. And the views of Reykjavík and surrounding sea and mountains spectacular. Lena our pilot was excellent, professional and engagingly friendly, helpful and a great pilot. We loved Lena as much as we loved the tour.

Worth it - One of the most fantastic experiences on our multiple trips to Iceland. Very professional staff and Lena was a supremely competent pilot and guide. The overall experience was more than we expected and made for a very memorable visit. We highly recommend Glacier Heli. We will absolutely boo with them again in future visits.
