Wow - I don't think I can add much that other reviewers haven't said, other than if you have a chance to go - do it! We planed our vacation for the US Thanksgiving holiday period a while ago. Turns out my 11 year old was learning about Iceland and volcanos in school. A flight was a no brainer. The cost was about $350 USD per person, but they gave my daughter half off because she was under 12 years old. Wow...We had never been in a 6 seat Cessna airplane before, so we were a bit weary. However, the flight was very smooth, the pilot was excellent, and we lucked out with incredibly good weather. (Just in case, the plane is equipped with air sickness bags and a place to store a water bottle). The flight did leave from Aukeryi. It took about 30 minutes to get to the eruption site. The pilot looped over the site 7-8 times over about 30 minutes as well, and then we headed back. So the entire flight was about 1.5 hours.Our flight mates were Danes and great fun as well. The pilot was full of great information and answered many questions. What a job for him - to be able to observe this wonder and beauty on daily basis. It was winter, but I was shedding layers in the plane. By the time you get over the caldera, you can feel the extra heat from the eruption. I will say the scenery on the flight of the mountains, countryside and the city of Aukeryi were spectacular as well.Our funny observation? The lawyers in Iceland don't have their hands in everything. There were no release forms, etc. to sign. Sign your name and give them your nationality, don a headset and get in the airplane. How refreshing that I didn't have to send 30 minutes filling out forms!

I took four flights with Myflug, three of those over the volcano. With so many flights I flew with almost every pilot and every single one of them was fantastic, very friendly and very safety conscious. The landscape is beautiful especially coming up over Askja crater after the lava fields, and this is the only way to see Askja right now with the roads closed. There are no words for flying over Bárðarbunga volcano, its awe-inspiring/amazing/beautiful/incredible!!!! Don't think about it just go!!! Like I said I went 3 times!!! Its worth every cent and these guys are by far the cheapest since they are the closest. (They are located in Mývatn not Akureyi). Don't worry about the time of day you go. My first flight was at noon and the lava is so bright and the lava fields black so its always great viewing.

took a tour to see the current eruption. Fantastic, several fly bys, with height and angles as requested by us. Very nice pilot and highly recommend this tour/operator

This was an amazing experience. There was a "free day" on my tour of Iceland, and five of us and our tour guide decided to splurge on a flight to see the erupting volcano. How often do you get a chance to see a volcano erupting? This was a once in a lifetime opportunity. We flew around the eruption about six times. Everyone had a window seat, and half the time the eruption was on my side of the plane. The flight to and from the volcano was scenic, but not worth the price. Despite the tiny plane, the flight was very smooth. It was definitely worth the splurge to see the volcano.

We took a sightseeing flight on 14 July 2014. We booked the Super Tour via the phone but the tour that we actually did differs slightly from that specified on their website. They apparently work from a different menu and they should update their website to match their new set of tours.However, this didn't really matter to us as all tours can be modified to meet one's needs. We had a thorough discussion with the pilot about the route and included sights which we wanted to see. The pilot was superb. The weather was very changeable and he made all sorts of detours to avoid cloud cover and mini storms so that we could see all the areas that we wanted. We went from Akureyri to Mývatn, Askja, Kverkfjoll, Herðubreið, Godafoss and Krafla. He made several passes over the main sights so that people on both sides of the plane could all take all the photos they desired.Iceland's landscape is made for sightseeing flights. Only from the air can one truly appreciate the scale and topography created by the volcanoes and lava.Fantastic day out. Expensive but thoroughly worth it.

I won a flight over the eruption in a Facebook raffle (the "like and share" kind) initiated by Mýflug in early September and after a bit of juggeling around with the leave schedules, we got to go and visit Iceland (twice in a year, this is a new record, despite the fact that we've been coming here for 15 years now). We've planned a weeklong stay and took the flight over Hólahraun Sunday Oct. 5th in the afternoon. It was probably the last flight that went from Mývatn before the airfield closed over the winter (Mýflug is now in Akureyri until the spring, I'm told you'll find them there in hangar 13 now :-) ). It was truely a once in a life time experience, I have never seen anything like it. To stare into the mouth of an erupting volcano is simply breathtaking and I think these pilots are among the luckiest people in the world to be able to go there several times a day :-)Mýflug did an excellent job of taking care of us. The weather was deteriorating a little earlier than expected, but the pilot decided it was okay to go. He made this experience a unique one for us. The Cessna is a very cute little plane, the wings are above the windows, which makes for a good view and it's easy to take good pictures. The pilot went back and forth and passed the eruption several times, so everyone could see properly and we flew high enough to be able to stare right into the crater and watch the earth boil. The twilight (it was past 4 in the afternoon) made for some very nice lighting, even though the skies were a bit overcast. I am by no means an expert photographer, I'm just a girl with a Nikon. My pictures do not do the beauty of that eruption justice, but I will share a few all the same. If you get any chance to go up, don't miss out on it. Prepare to be amazed and I promise you will not be disappointed. Thanks again to Mýflug for making this possible for us! I will most certainly be back to fly with you guys again some day, eruption or no eruption :-)Christine

I recently took two separate flights from Myvatn in their Cessna over the erupting volcano (Holuhraun). I sat up front the first time and at the side (middle) the second time. I had different pilots each time, who although were only half my age (!) were very capable and I felt very safe with them. Each one took a slightly different route, possibly because of the direction of the wind and the volcano blowing, so I got two different views, one slightly higher. Both were fantastic. Would highly recommend this trip (twice!), while the volcano is still erupting. Great little operation. First flight was cancelled because of sandstorms, but I was booked on the next day - they don't fly if it's too dangerous! There is also a slightly bigger plane, with wings below the windows, that can go a little lower, I believe, but the view wouldn't be as good for photographs, so if you're a photographer, ask for the Cessna.

The scenes are great, especially if you are interested in volcanism. There was no active volcano, but I saw lava fields, craters, canyons, waterfalls, steam emerging from the ground.The weather was marginal (cloudy) earlier in the day and they did not try to coerce you onto a flight, which was good. I was by myself and had to tag on to a group. I booked through the hotel and they told me that it was tour #3 but it turned out to be tour #4 when I arrived at the airport. In my case it was not a problem but I would have appreciated had they tried to notify me ahead.I arrived at the airport after my fellow passengers. So I missed part of the briefing of the flight route. Although there was still time before taking off (we were waiting for the plane), the pilot did not bother to explain the flight route to me. This I don't like. During the flight, the pilot gave extremely simple, almost one-worded, descriptions of the view points.After the flight was over, the pilot just left the aircraft and walked away. It would be better had he made sure that everyone had safely climbed out of their seats and the plane, especially if there were old passengers. (There were none in our group but my gut feeling is that it would bethe same.)My experience with another operator at Rekjavik was a lot better.

Pilot was skilled and friendly. The price of the eruption trip was a fraction of the cost of doing it from Reykjavik or Akureyri. It was disproportionately so in fact. I flew from to Akureyri from Reykjavik by domestic flight, rented a car, did the eruption flight as well as sightseeing at all the famous sites around Myvatn and stayed overnight and had a lovely dinner in Akureyri, all for less than what it would have cost me to do just the eruption flight from Reykjavik. That makes me a very happy camper.

Yesterday I flew over the Holuhraun eruption site in a Cessna 206 with Myflug. I was blown away! It was an awesome experience and I would recommend it to anyone who will be in the area. In fact, I'd make a special trip to do it if I were you!
