Thor was an awesome guide and pilot! We felt safe and relaxed. Due to weather conditions Thor informed us the tour we booked could not happen that day, so they complementary upgraded our tour! The tour brought us even closer to the volcanoes than we could have imagined! We had a blast and learned so much!!

This was amazing!! Our pilot Thor was absolutely knowledgeable, kind and great at his job. The flight was amazing, we were able to land on the lava land and Thor picked up a couple of lava rocks and showed us what’s special in them. 10 out of 10 for our flight, from the pilot to the helicopter itself to the whole trip, everything was amazing, a must do for visiting Reykjavík for sure!
Wow!

That was beautiful. I was hesitant because of the price & I’m so glad we did it. Worth every penny. I could try to explain & it would not even come close
Must do 🚁🩵

Fantastic experience with very knowledgeable pilot (Gunner). Flew over to the blue lagoon from Reykjavik and then landed on the 2021 lava flow - surreal!
