“During the last two years I was with pilot Matthias Vogt more than twelve hours in the air over Iceland, I felt always very comfortable and safe. Thanks to his excellent understanding of what photographers need, I got stunning pictures from the coast areas as well as from the highlands. I hope to fly again with Matthias soon.”

– Walter Huber, Photographer

“I had the pleasure of taking a heli tour to the volcano with Matthias on Sept 13th! It was, in a word, epic.”

– Miles Morgan

“Went from Reykjavík, Blue Mountain, south Coastline to Bakkaflugvöllur near Vestmanna Island. The tour was unbelievable and most definitely the best way to see the volcano eruption that took place near 1000 years ago only by the doorstep of Reykjavík. Also amazing to see the coastline and the contrast between rivers and land. The ride was smooth with and the views were stunning. Even with a one hour flight, I wished it was much longer! Would recommend.”

“Thanks to Matthias, the highly professional and friendly pilot of volcanoheli.is, it was possible to get amazing views and images of the Bardarbunga fissure eruption. Of several helicopters i have flown in while visiting volcanoes around the world, the R44 is by far the best for experiencing and documenting eruptions, especially when flown with the doors off.”

“We did not plan a helicopter excursion for our 10 day see-it-all Iceland tour but when we met helicopter pilot Matthias, we could not pass up such an experience. We decided on the flight over Askja and Herdubreid and were astounded by the spectacular views from above that truly allowed us to experience the grandeure of the landscape. The immense geological processes and passage of time can be only comprehended from the sky. The views of different layers of lava flows, serpentine rivers, the difference in colors and textures were breathtaking and mesmerizing. In addition to glorious sights our pilot Matthias created amazing, positive, and fun atmosphere, he was smiling the whole trip and answered all our questions about the area’s history and his perspective on living in Iceland. Overall it was an experience of the lifetime and highly recommends it to everyone who plans to visit Iceland. I am definitely taking another trip with Volcano Heli next time I’m in Iceland.”

“Photographing the Holuhraun eruption via helicopter was an unforgettable and epic experience, which every photographer should do! The photographic possibilities via helicopter are way worth it, and our pilot Matthias patiently took directions and requests from us while in the air about various angles and perspectives. I professionally lead photo tours around Iceland, and whenever my photography groups want to do an optional aerial shoot, I’ll be recommending to them and using Volcano Heli.”

“I had a chance to fly with Mathias on the evening of September the 9th when the lava pushed the river Jokulsà out of its bed. It was a great flight with a wonderful feeling which will stay with me for a long time. The pictures were published the day after in Iceland review and were posted in hundreds of medias worldwide thanks to a distribution from the French agency AFP.”
