Before the main ride begins, you’ll enjoy two powerful pre-show experiences that set the stage for your aerial adventure. The first, The Longhouse, brings Iceland’s Viking past to life with storytelling, shadows, and folklore that introduce you to the spirit of the land. The second, The Well of Time, is a sweeping visual journey through Iceland’s geological and natural history, from fire and ice to the present day. These aren’t just waiting-room diversions. They deepen your connection to Iceland, emotionally preparing you for the following flight.
Then comes the moment you’ve been waiting for — the flight ride. Strapped securely into a moving platform with your feet dangling, you’ll be suspended in front of a massive 20-meter spherical screen. What follows is nothing short of magical.
As the ride begins, you’re lifted into the air, and suddenly you’re soaring across Iceland’s stunning landscapes — over thundering waterfalls, erupting volcanoes, massive glaciers, rugged coastlines, black sand beaches, and lush green valleys. The footage is captured using high-resolution cameras and drones, offering a view that’s even better than what you’d get from a real helicopter.
But it’s not just what you see — it’s what you feel. Thanks to advanced motion seats, wind effects, mist, and scent technology, FlyOver Iceland stimulates all your senses. You’ll feel the cool spray of a waterfall, catch the scent of moss and earth, and lean into turns as you dive through fjords and soar above icy peaks. Every movement is carefully choreographed to the visuals, making the experience feel astonishingly real.
What makes FlyOver Iceland truly unforgettable isn’t just the visuals or the tech—it’s the emotional resonance. The ride captures the essence of Iceland: its resilience, connection to nature, and deep-rooted spirit of its people. The powerful musical score and breathtaking cinematography create moments that move many visitors to tears. It’s a love letter to the island that locals and tourists alike can appreciate.
FlyOver Iceland is open year-round and is suitable for nearly all ages (must be at least 102 cm/40 inches tall to ride). It is a fantastic family activity, a great rainy-day plan, and an unforgettable way to begin or end your Icelandic adventure. There’s no need to worry about weather conditions — rain, so, or shine, the experience is always perfect indoors.
Located just minutes from downtown Reykjavik, FlyOver Iceland is within walking distance of shops, restaurants, and the harbourfront.
