5.00Awesome adventure. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and experienced. He gave us enough time to check out the area when we landed. We say Reykavik from the highest point.

Different Perspective on Reykjavik and Surrounding Area

5.00We loved the experience of riding in the helicopter and seeing Reykjavik and surrounding areas from a completely different perspective. We were able to see Reykjavik, the harbor, Sky Lagoon, Blue Lagoon, and more from above. We also saw the lava fields that were active as recently as 2022 and landed on a mountaintop to take photographs of scenes we otherwise would have never seen.
Fabulous

5.00Wonderful service, everything went smoothly. Pilot was fantastic and entertaining. The ride and overall experience was a once in a lifetime and a very different viewpoint to experience Reykjavik and surroundings. Took my parents (70 plus) and they were very well looked after. Would recommend to everyone;)
