Spectacular! - An amazing experience. Was originally scheduled to fly over Laki, however the weather was not cooperating, so they flew us over the glacier instead. You don't know what a glacier (and the iceberg lagoon) is until you've flown over it. At low altitude. While doing steep banks.
The pilot was skilled and flew the airplane safely without making it boring. The airplane itself was in great shape and I felt confident in its safety.
It was worth every penny that it cost!

15min flight above glaciers - This was definitely the best experience we had in Iceland! Seeing all its marvelous sceneries from above, with such helpful, flexible and kind crew was the highlight of our trip. Would recommend to everyone!

It was awesome!! - We flew out of Skaftafell. The pilot was knowledgeable of the surrounding area. We had the most beautiful views of the glacier and craters. Simply stunning.
