5.00Our photo tour was excellent in every way! The exquisite scenery was beyond my expectations, and I am very pleased with my photos. The landscape and scenic opportunities were diverse and varied. Our pilate, Julian expertly maneuvered us into position to best compose and manage the available light. In advance, my e-mail contact with Helena best prepared me for this tour by reviewing photos I sent her ahead of time. This helped Julian best reach my priority subjects by sharing my preferences. After the tour, I sent several photos by e-mail to Helena for location identity. She was most helpful in doing so. I HIGHLY recommend Volcano Heli without reservation!
The best thing we have done in Iceland.

5.00It was worth coming to Iceland just for this tour, and this country has so many things to offer. Once Julian the pilot found his hat, we took off into one of the coldest but calmest days I have ever experienced. He took us to see frozen waterfalls, basalt cliffs, volcanoes and lava flows and would manouevre the helicopter to get the best angles and lighting from the very low sun, giving us some suberb photographs as memories of a superb trip. Despite the helicopter's door being removed (which was VERY cold and you need to prepare for that), we felt safe and secure at all times. It was -10 degrees C at ground level at the time of our trip.
Recommended for everyone. Explore Iceland from above and with this company
