We originally had booked the volcano flight but due to high winds we couldn’t do it so Nordurflug upgraded us for no extra charge to join another group with a longer flight. Our pilot was very informative and explained everything very well in perfect English. Thank you for a wonderful experience and we will be back!! Xx
Amazing flight.

I went on the helicopter ride today and it was an amazing experience. The ride was very smooth, and the captain made the takeoff and landing so beautiful and comfortable. He explained everything clearly throughout the flight, which made the experience even more special. We flew over Reykjavík, continued on to geothermal, and the views on the way back were absolutely stunning. It was truly a beautiful and unforgettable journey. Thank you the pilot and Vera :)

It’s great, we arrived the mountain with great views. It will be wonderful if the trip can be more long and if we can see the sunrise 😉
Breathtaking

It was the best experience of all, I definitely recommend doing it, our pilot was very friendly, spoke many languages and explained all the possible data, when I was going to book the tour I had doubt if it was worth it as it is expensive, but definitely worth every penny, I recommend it 100%
A great flight over the most beautiful landscape that you can imagine.

What a great flight, safety was always number one. The ability to land in a remote destination is indescribable. We learned so much from our pilot and the heli was such a confortable ride that we booked another flight to a different area. Thor and Simon were amazing guides, we would highly recommend you book this excursion.
