A great flight with Volcano Heli - My friend and I did the Extended Volcano Tour out of Reykjavik over the Reykjanes Peninsula with Julian as our pilot. It was a great experience. Seeing the volcanic landscape from overhead was awesome. I highly recommend it. Helena, the customer service manager, was very helpful in arranging the flight for us. NOTE: the helicopter we used (a small one) kept its doors shut and we were quite comfortable inside - but we were well-dressed for cold weather. -I cross posted part of this review on Google.

The only way to see the volcanic landscape - Truly a once in a lifetime experience for us! See the lava fields and volcanoes from the last decade. This is the only way to truly see the impact.

Stand Up Experience - We were not able to fly as a result of inclement weather, but I very much appreciate safety first. The company did a great job of letting us know that there could be an issue the day before, then keeping us informed, giving us options, and ultimately refunding our flight when we couldn’t go. Would definitely try them again.

A must do! Volcano Heli - Private tour with Julian was exceptional and amazing. His piloting skills were smooth and professional. His photography knowledge was extremely helpful. He was personable and made the trip fun. Highly recommend Volcano HELI for an overview of Iceland’s diverse topography.

What an experience !! - Before we left home we were contacted to tell us that the weather expected for our chosen day was worsening & would we consider pulling the trip forward. Fortunately our plan could accommodate this change, so we accepted. Julian (pilot) welcome us & another couple who were to fly with us. He boarded us & explained that we should expect. He proceeded to fly us out to the volcano sight, giving us a once in a lifetime experience. Once we were back in ‘terra firma’, while waiting for our taxi, he gave us a great recommendation for dinner that evening. We couldn’t have asked for any more from this experience. Thank you Volcano Heli
