Amazing experience. In the air for around 30 minutes in total and 15 on top of the mountain to take pictures and enjoy the scenery. Nothing like flying in a plane, much more comfortable and less scary. The pilot was very calm and even had a joke about on the way back

3.12.18, in extreme cold and beautiful weather. Flight to the waterfall, over and through the mountains and visit Reykjavik. Along the watercourses, through the small gorges and up the mountain peaks. A very special experience. Greatest helicopter flight with an enthusiastic and helpful pilot (Gislason Gisli). And thanks also to the weather god. AAA
