A lifetime experience!! Seeing a volcano forming and constantly changing is one of the most spectacular things we seen. Adam is an excellent guide and does not hesitate to make the extra mile to ensure everyone goes home with a big smile. The hike to the erruption site was super nice and Adam knew the perfect place to have magnificent views close to the lava field. we could have stayed there for days! Really amazing! All in all, we totally recommend this tour. We only regret we did not have more days to do more tours with them.

Most incredible tour we have been on! Adam knew exactly how to get us as close to the active volcano while keeping us safe. He is also very accommodating and a well-experienced hiking guide for this excursion. The volcano erupted on our anniversary while we were in Iceland and we were extremely fortunate to find Adam and have him take us up. Highly recommend!
