Unbelievable, absolutely unbelievable - Booked the helicopter volcano tour as it has been on my bucket list to see an active eruption, wasn’t sure of seeing much as it was over a week since the eruption, the waiting room and facilities was very nice, the helicopter clean and modern, the pilot friendly and professional, we took off and flew to the eruption site, I cannot put into words how amazing the eruption was, the pilot gave us exceptional views of the eruption aswell as knowledge of the area, absolutely breathtaking seeing the lava spewing out of the ground and bubbling in the opening, a view i will probably never see again, if you are in Iceland and the eruption is still taking place then you need to book this, absolutely unreal, 20 out of 10,

Absolutely unbelievable - Very well organised, nice waiting room with facilities, the helicopter was modern, clean and the pilot was very friendly and professional, I booked the helicopter tour as it was the only way to see the active eruption, Never in my life did I expect to see what i saw, the pilot made sure we had unbelievable views of the eruption, if you are in Iceland and the volcano is still erupting then you must do this, i had another tour booked on the same day, both with free cancellation and i was unsure which one to cancel, the helicopter tour was 6 times more expensive but worth every single penny without doubt, a once in a lifetime unforgettable experience, 10 out of 10, thanks for wiping another one off the bucket list,

Priceless views during the eruption!! - I was able to book this last minute and was still able to get a reservations No time was given but later received a text with our tour time Highly recommend. Pro tip--Give something to the pilot during the safety brief (Small gift, etc) and you have a higher chance of sitting in the front seat.

Quite the Adventure - The tour was very interesting seeing Iceland from the air. The guide was very informative, especially about the recent eruptions of the volcanos. Landing and walking around a volcano was fascinating. Little did we know that later that night the volcano would erupt again.

Must do tour! - Pilot was amazing made sure everyone got an opportunity to see and was easy on the eyes himself which made the experience so much better. I was pleasantly surprised at how much I enjoyed this tour and how movie like the view/experience felt. It was my first time in a helicopter and definetly won’t be my last!

Excellent 👍 - Wow how amazing is this. Worth every ISK. Over mountains, craters & larva down to the sea. And back again. Just spectacular. The pilot was very knowledgeable too.
