If you're nervous about flying, let them know ahead of time. The crew is super friendly, and they'll make sure you're comfortable. I did, and it really eased my nerves.

Try to aim for the afternoon flights like around 3 PM. The lighting for photos is amazing then, and you'll capture those stunning views of the landscapes.

My advice is to wear layers! It can get chilly up there, even if it's sunny in Reykjavik. I was shivering a bit in my light jacket, and I wish I had thought ahead!

Try to join one of the early tours, like around 9 AM. The cave is less crowded then, and you'll really get to soak it all in without feeling rushed.

Booking your tour in advance is a must! The trips can fill up quick, so I suggest going online at least a week ahead to secure your spot. Trust me, having a ticket ready makes everything smoother

I suggest booking your tickets online in advance. I got stuck waiting in line, and you can save some time by reserving a spot ahead of time. Plus, it's usually cheaper!

My advice is to double-check your gear before heading out. I had an issue with borrowed equipment, and it wasted about 30 mins. Bring your own if you can!

I recommend booking your session during the weekday around 2 PM when it's less crowded. You'll get more time to practice and enjoy without the rush!

I suggest wearing layered clothing. The weather can change quickly. On my ride, I got too chilly at one point! Layer up and you'll be set for anything.

If you're looking to save some cash, check out their combo deals. I bought a horseback riding and a dinner package, which was way cheaper than booking them separately.

If you're on a budget, grab a drink from the local store instead of the bar inside. Trust me, you’ll save a good chunk of change, and the bar prices are pretty steep!

I suggest arriving around 5 PM instead of peak hours like 7 or 8. The place gets super crowded later, and you’ll end up waiting forever for a table!
