Bucket list worthy experience… - Just exceptional, the whole experience was real bucket list stuff. Laura the pilot was both a skilled pilot and a geo physicist! The perfect combination for landing on a volcano then telling your all about it. Highly recommend.

Great experience, especially for a photo/videographer. - I booked the flight alone as it sounded very exciting. Been very good weather that day! Fire and ice would translate to me as glacier and volcano. It wasn't a volcano, it was geothermal springs. Nevertheless, very interesting to come a the places to which you cannot drive or walk and for me as a photographer very successful. Two landings, cozy time and no hassle, highly recommended. On the way back past the largest waterfall in Iceland, which is not easy to reach.

Aerial Access A+ - We saved this experience for the second last day of our trip. It was a good choice in that it provided excellent context to our ground-level explorations. In early September, the glacier landing was surprising. Unlike the PR picture on the company's site showing a smooth snow-covered surface, we were able to get a first hand introduction to the melting and surface cracking that had been occurring all summer. Walking through the rift caused by the tectonic plates motion was striking. But the aerial view made the tremendous forces involved obvious. The whole process from booking to check-in to safety instructions was flawless, easy, and professional. The pilot was highly competent and made sure that a good time was had by all. This was one of the best parts of our trip to Iceland.

Amazing way to see Iceland - The helicopter ride was spectacular, definitely a once in a lifetime opportunity. An amazing way to see this magnificent country. The pilot was first class. The only monor quibble was the staff told ys to be there for 11am, then phoned me at 1045 saying I was late.
