TRAVELERS’ REVIEWS

by Gigi Xiao
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!
by Chris
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!

Incredible experience last week flying over the Grindavik eruption. Fairly priced and very friendly staff. Would strongly recommend it for anyone visiting Iceland during an eruption and the weather is clear!

Experience an unforgettable aerial journey over the Reykjanes Peninsula, a region that has become a focal point of geological activity in recent years. Your adventure begins with a departure from Reykjavík, ascending into the skies for a 45 to 60-minute flight over a series of recent eruption sites. The peninsula's volcanic awakening commenced in March 2021, leading to multiple eruptions that have dramatically reshaped the landscape. From the initial six-month-long eruption in 2021 to the most recent activity in November 2024, each event has contributed to an expansive lava plateau dotted with numerous craters. As you soar above these sites, you'll gain a unique perspective on the sheer scale and power of volcanic forces that have sculpted Iceland's terrain. Our experienced pilots will provide insightful commentary, enhancing your understanding of the geological phenomena below. Please note that while the volcanoes are natural wonders, we cannot guarantee visible lava flows during your tour. However, the stark beauty of the newly formed landscapes offers a mesmerizing spectacle in any condition.
