Comments from clients
“The views you see… it just made me speechless, my heart was racing, a big smile on my face… as if I was in love!” – Trip Advisor Feedback.
“Wonderful staff welcome you with smiling faces and a pure “customer in the centre” attitude. Helicopters are well kept after, and the trips have that sort of playfulness that something as outlandish as a helicopter tour should have. The one-hour trip to the thermal sites outside Reykjavik offers a good compromise between a unique experience and a price tag that is still reasonable.” – Trip Advisor Feedback.
“Our pilot Gudjon explained so much when we landed between steam, outbreaks, hot springs etc., that I learned that a helicopter could land while a plane cannot land here. It was an outstanding experience. And I recommend everyone to do it too.” – Trip Advisor Feedback.
