Thingvellir: Silfra Snorkeling & Fly Over Iceland With Photos

How about starting the day with snorkeling Silfra, a freshwater fissure and then "fly" around beautiful Iceland? Then we recommend the combination of Snorkeling and Fly Over Iceland adventure combo!

FlyOver Iceland is located in the exciting Grandi Harbor District. This all season attraction takes you on a breathtaking journey across Iceland. Soar over land, sea and ice. Move with the arctic winds.

FlyOver Iceland is an immersive flight experience. The ride utilizes state-of-the-art technology to give the guest the feeling of flight. Guests sit with feet dangling, before a 20-metre spherical screen while our film whisks you away on an exhilarating journey across Iceland. Special effects, including wind, mist and scents, combine with the ride’s motion to create an unforgettable experience. Before your flight begins, you’ll be immersed in the magic of Iceland in pre-ride events.

Our flight guides, a storyteller and resident troll Sú Vitra will lead you through two unique adventures that’ll ignite your imagination with stories of Iceland, its people and the natural forces at work.

The total duration of the experience is 30-35 minutes. We do recommend that you reserve one hour for your visit to FlyOver Iceland.

The FlyOver Iceland building is a landmark at the Grandi district. This beautifully designed house not only holds the FlyOver Iceland flight ride and pre-shows but also a souvenir shop with handpicked local items, photos from the ride and unique souvenirs. The ground floor houses as well a café where you can relax before or after your virtual flight.
