Amazing tour! Highly recommend! The pilot was super friendly and did a panoramic tour of the volcano, he turned several times to make sure everyone got a good view of the eruption site. The entire process was very smooth. A once in a lifetime experience!

Last minute booking but they had lots of availability. Amazing flight over the erupting volcano and we spent far longer overhead than I expected. The pilot made sure passengers on both sides got a great view. Highly recommend this company!
