An experience of a lifetime! The flight was about 30 minutes with 6-7 minutes of flight time over the active eruption site with additional time over prior sites. While that seems short, I can assure you it is worth every cent. I have memories and photos I will cherish for life. Flight was smooth and left me in awe. Pilot was personable and made the experience special for us all.

A fiery experience
Jane_A, Apr 2024
The capable pilot, the organization of the trip and the WOW of seeing an active volcano! The sight of the dramatic Icelandic landscape of lava and sea.
One of the best trips ever
Susan_s, Apr 2024
The pilot made it come alive and was knowledgeable about the scientific underpinnings of volcanos. It was one of the most exciting tours of my life.
Not value for money spent
Akky_M, Apr 2024
It was only 20 minutes. NOT 35 or 40 as advertised. Four people were squeezed into the back seat. Two did not have good views or take pictures. Cost was almost $900.
Fantastic experience, well worth it!

A once in a lifetime special treat for the family to celebrate our 20th wedding anniversary! The flight was amazing and the pilot was very friendly and knowledgeable. We felt in safe hands and the flight was a total pleasure from start to finish. We all had the best time ever!!

The pilot Peter was great, we had a smooth incredibly unforgettable flight over the volcano and part of the Icelandic coast. I would highly recommend doing this, by far my husband and 2 teenage boys said it was their favorite of the whole trip to iceland.

Eruption view
Cormac_W, Mar 2024
Helicopter flight was amazing, the pilot kept us well informed and did a few extra passes over the erupting volcano for us to get a good view and photos. A bit expensive for a 30 minute flight but we are fully happy with the experience

Tammara_M, Aug 2023
The scenery was unique the staff and pilot were exceptionally friendly. I was so surprised to find a company that was more concerned with its customers than getting money. I was greeted and advised to not fly the scheduled day as the view would of been terrible. I WAS OFFERED OTHER OPTIONS AND WAS ABLE TO RESCEDULE TO A DIFFERENT DATE . The STAFF WAS SO WELCOMING AND CONCERNED WITH ME HAVING AN EXCEPTIONSAL EXPERIENCE
A pleasant surprise.
Earl_B, Aug 2023
Trip was excellant,, we booked it not knowingly the eruptions had ended a fewDays before! They took us to the site and on to a beautiful spot where we landed, and walked to see a bubbling hot spring. Right next to IT was another stream which had cool water, not 50 ft awal! We happened to get great sunny Weather . Great proletar.
Fun helicopter ride
Suchitra_M, Aug 2023
The helicopter ride was wonderful even though the volcano had stopped erupting 3 days prior, but still great to see from the air.
Iceland - Niceland
Dinbali_M, Jul 2023
Perfect services , good team , magical moment in Iceland we travel in familliy find this fantastic tour
WOW!!
John_S, Jul 2023
What an incredible way to start the day. Our pilot was funny and shared a lot of information along the way. He made sure everyone in our group of 5 had an incredible view of the eruption site. We were scheduled the last flight of the day because one pilot got sick, so we did not get to go at our scheduled time. The staff immediately rescheduled us the first flight the next morning. A couple of tips. Try to book an early flight. The later you go the more likely you will be delayed (There are a lot of uncontrollable things that happen throughout the day that put them behind schedule). Be on time (early), but be patient and prepared to wait. It is worth it.
