Fantastic adventure to volcano summit with amazing views of the geothermal reactors for power with the water coming out of the ground boiling. Truly amazing to see and touch the not boiling ones. Such a great trip on a beautiful clear day with perfect visibility.

We booked the helicopter tour for the sunrise, it was so beautiful. The pilot gave a commentary while flying about the landscape and history of the lakes and mountains/volcanos. Make sure you wrap up as the wind chills on the mountains were biting but well worth the cold for the amazing views.

Amazing! Expensive but worth it! Thetr were 6 passengers in all in the helicopter. 2 in the front and 4 in the back. We choose the landing one so after a stop on the mountain we all switched over. There was no bad seats really you could see it all. The ride was amazing over land and sea with amazing views then when he went up the mountain and stopped that was something else! Views were something else.
Amazing!
