5.00Absolutely amazing and memorable tour. The views were stunning and the pilot was so friendly, calm and knowledgeable. The pilot made sure everyone got fantastic views. Great flying and great communication. Our tour had to be moved to the afternoon due to weather but the tour company phoned and emailed us to reschedule for the afternoon. Great customer service with a comfy waiting area, toilet and coffee machine in the lobby as well. 100% recommend!
You won’t see red lava… but still worth booking.

5.00The tour photos show red lava in almost all of them, but do not expect to actually see any. We booked it with that expectation and were disappointed (unless the volcano erupted in the last days/weeks there isn’t going to be any... last time that happened was 3 years ago). However; the tour itself is still amazing! The guide/pilot was amazing. The views are incredible, they definitely could just add more accurate photos so you don’t have unrealistic expectations and you’d still want to book it! I’m still really glad we went on the tour and would definitely recommend going if you’re thinking about it.

5.00An experience not to be forgotten. The landscape and, in our case, the volcanoes are already breathtaking from the ground. If you can also see it from the air, that is really the cream of the crop. Fine pilot and organization. Something went wrong with the booking in the morning, but that was rectified in the afternoon, so we could still go along. Highly recommended.
