Our helicopter tour to see the volcanic eruption in Iceland was nothing short of spectacular. We were incredibly lucky to witness the volcano's eruption, especially after our initial appointment got canceled due to weather conditions. Fortunately, we managed to secure a spot on the next available flight on March 23rd. We learned from the manager that the tours had been consistently canceled in the previous days and would soon cease for a film shooting, making our experience even more precious.
The overall organization of the tour was excellent, with clear communication from the staff. The pilot made a sensible decision in seating arrangements, suggesting that pairs sit with one person by the window and the other in the middle, allowing both to have a good view and share photos easily, while individuals were given window seats. This arrangement seemed perfect for maximizing everyone's experience.
However, there was a slight hiccup due to the behavior of two co-passengers from Spain, who insisted on taking window seats together, disregarding the shared enjoyment and fairness for others. This situation highlighted the need for a more enforced seating allocation by the pilot to prevent selfish behavior and ensure a pleasant experience for all.
In conclusion, our volcano helicopter tour was an extraordinary and lucky adventure. It's a must-do in Iceland, especially if you can catch the natural fireworks of an eruption!
