    The views were amazing from all of the seats. It was great to walk around a thermal pond and the area we landed also had great views

    if you have previously done helicopter tours, then I would say there is nothing special about this. Went out over the 2020 - 2022 (?) volcano eruptions which are now back to dormant / maybe a little steam. Scenery is lava and mountains = black and gray (Nothing colorful in sight). Had we gone over a glacier it could have been much more interesting (of course, the price doubles for that ....).

  • Brilliant Splurge w/ A Lovely Pilot

    Just returned from a weekend in Reykjavik, meeting up with my best friend from Uni. We didn't have enough time to get out of the city much, and this tour was our "splurge" for the trip--worth every penny. Our pilot, Manny, was a delight, ensuring we were all comfortable, giving us great views of the craters, and really befriending us all as we explored this unreal scenery. Everyone at Glacier Heli was friendly and accommodating. (We mixed up the time difference and arrived an hour before our tour. We were treated to snacks, great conversation, and a treat watching the smaller planes come and go from the city airport). I highly recommend any tour offered by Glacier and of course, piloted by Manny.

    Great customer service and very professional staff. We tried the 2hours tour from Reykjavik and had the chance to see the main highlights of the icelandic landscape. We flew over the geyser area and the glacier, on top of the two vulcanos that recently erupted and the view was incredible! Our pilot (a Germán guy I don't remember the name was very polite and caring). Little snacks available before departure also! Highly highly recommend!! :)

  • GREAT ADVENTURES!
