Amazing experience 👌

This was the second time we’ve taken a helicopter to the lava fields and it remains a highlight of our trips to Iceland! The pilot (Gunnar) was chatty and fun, and very informative about the local geology - fabulous thing to do!

ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!! Incredible experience. So organised, on time, safe, reliable, clear communication, and made sure we all got great views no matter what seats we had. Pilot even took photos of us with the helicopter. Highly recommend if you are visiting in volcano eruption season, a once in a lifetime opportunity. Fantastic team, cannot thank them enough!

We did a tour over the 2021 & 2022 eruption site. It was incredible! It was our first time in a helicopter and we were really surprised by how smooth the ride was. Seeing Iceland from the sky added a whole extra layer of beauty. Our guide was a great pilot and we felt very safe. We highly recommend this tour.
