We did a combo flight. First, we did the active Volcano, what an incredible sight!! This is a MUST DO, it is hard to hike and get to the crater as we realized on our first day when we did the 2mile hike. You get the lava flow, but because the lava has pushed out from the volcano’s crater so far it has cut off the easier trails and those with the best abilities can get a somewhat of a “decent view”. To get the real view and the best shots, this is the WAY TO SEE THE LAVA! Best views without mega camera shots/angles.

Note: this was our first time in the helicopter! Gudjon (our pilot) was incredible, he has a ton of experience and definitely made everyone feel safe.

Second flight - series we did the glacier / continental rift divide! Gudjon even took us to the glacier for a landing, this was great to be able to walk on the glacier & drink water without the hike. Plus, we landed on a glacier further out where no traffic goes, so it was very peaceful & truly magnificent.
Flying over the National park was also incredible to see the continental divide/rift from the air. He explained everything and we saw how extensive the rift really is… much more appreciative from the air than the ground.

I highly recommend using this group! We will definitely be back in the future and hope to do some more touring with them! Thanks from USA

We had the pleasure to fly over skaftafell glacier tongues on 19.01 for around 15minutes.
It was an unforgettable experience. Welcoming reception, knowledgeable & friendly pilot, amazing flight.
Even if 15minutes doesn't sound much, it is the perfect amount of time to spend in the air for this tour.
I strongly recommend it.

We had a 30 minute private flight over the glaciers around Skaftafell which was excellent. We turned up and were airborne within 20 minutes. Everyone in the office was friendly and helpful. The pilot was great and with the window open I got some fantastic photos in brilliant sunshine. Highly recommend.

Fabulous! This experience was worth every penny, so don't hesitate. The opportunity to see an erupting volcano from the air was beyond compare. Everyone at Atlantsflug was very professional and friendly, and we felt we were in good hands at all times.

In September 2017 we booked the 75 min. tour: the Volcanic Canyon and Laki Craters. That was a very good decision. It exceeded our expectations! On departure at Bakki Airport the air was totally cloudy and not a breath of wind. We thought that it wouldn’t work out well, but our pilot promised that it would be better ‘overthere’. If that wasn’t the case, then we would get our money back. He was right. After a few minutes in the air, we flew inland and the sun came out. We couldn’t believe our eyes! My friend next to me had a completely different view than I had, we didn’t know where to look. The different landscapes kept coming, one after the other. It was very diverse. This is the best paid experience we have ever had. The next time we go to Iceland, we will book this flight again. It is totally worth it!

Furthermore, the pilot was very nice. He explained everything and the communication in advance via the e-mail was also very pleasant. The Cessna where we were in, was suitable for 6 people incl. the pilot. You can photograph and film quite good through the windows.

This trip was outstanding and worth every penny! We had a 60 minute flight over the most stunning landscape taking in the glacier, craters, waterfalls, rivers, national park and mountain ranges. Flying at just over 200 ft over the glacier was breathtaking and something we will never forget.
Our pilot Eymar was fabulous always making sure we were happy with the views and keeping us informed of all the land marks.
The plane could take 8 people and needed at least 3 to take off.
This is not the cheapest trip but one you will not be disappointed with. Iceland landscape is so dramatic and variable and this trip really shows you the diversity of the island.
The entrance to the flight seeing tour is opposite the national park entrance and there is a lot of car park spaces. This is a very well organised company and safety is paramount.
I can not praise this trip enough, enjoy.

We took a 40 minute trip with this company yesterday from Skaftafell airport. Fortunately another couple was already waiting to take a trip so we were able to make up the minimum number of passengers right away on our arrival. Friendly service and knowledgable staff. Amazing views from the plane - gave us a new perspective of the landscape and the vastness of the National Park. Highly recommended! Listen carefully to the staff commentary whilst in the air as this could be easily missed due to the background noise.

We chartered a photo flight in July, covering the river deltas and Landmannalaugar. Ivar (our pilot), Oli and Gissur were extremely helpful in planning our itinerary. Ivar was an excellent pilot and very accommodating for our photography. I will definitely fly with them again on my next visit to Iceland.

We absolutely loved our flight over some spectacular scenery in southern Iceland. The communication leading up to our flight exceeded our expectations. We had to move our flight around a bit because of high winds, and Atlantsflug communicated with us quickly and clearly by email. They worked with us to make the flight happen within our tight travel schedule as we moved around the country. We ended up having pretty high winds during our flight, but we felt safe and had an awesome time! We flew over Vatnajokull outflow glaciers, Thorsmork, Landmannalaugar, and Vestmannaeyjar. We weren’t originally supposed to fly over the islands, but the pilot surprised us and added extra time to our trip. He spoke good English, explained many interesting things about what we were seeing, and was very courteous and pleasant to interact with. This was truly a once in a lifetime experience and worth every penny!

One of the most amazing things I've done whilst I've been in Iceland. Scenic flight over Laki from Skaftafell was incredible. The views from the air were amazing. Staff and pilot were incredibly friendly and helpful, making this experience perfect. 100% recommend this to anyone who visits Skaftafell.
