Helicopter tour over the volcanoes of Reykjavík. - Max was an excellent tour guide who gave us lots of information as we flew over the volcanoes. He made sure we were comfortable and talked us through what we would be seeing.

The best helicopter ride I have ever been to - This was way better than I expected it to be. Starting with the point that the ride we got was longer than originally planned, which was big plus from the start and we got to se literally the whole city from the above and all of the sites around!

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,

Pictures on website, can be deceiving - Our Tour left over an hour after it was supposed to go. The only thing we saw for a few craters in the city of Reykjavík. The pictures on the website are deceiving as it would appear you would fly directly over a volcano and had a chance of seeing actual heat or lava, always saw black rocks and some steam. Also, there were several people on our trip who were supposed to be on a summit trip and stopped on the summit, however, due to the trip being started too late we were not able to do this.
