FlyOver Iceland

FlyOver Iceland is one of the newer yet exhilarating attractions in Reykjavik. It features a massive wraparound screen paired with suspended seats to give the visitors a simulation of flying. The screen periodically switches between varying landscapes and showcases the natural beauty of Iceland.

It is perhaps the most exciting and tourist-favourite virtual attraction. Though the highlight is an 8.5-minute Ultimate Flying ride, the experience includes a few exhibits. Before the flying ride, visitors can witness the historical events presented through a projection. The projection is paired with audio guidance to explain the scene visitors witness. They can enjoy the scenes of early inhabitants, Vikings, and how life unfolded to what it is now in Iceland. Finally, the visitors get to fly over the natural landscapes of Iceland. The experience is not only visual and auditory but includes many effects like mist, scents, motion, etc. These special effects make the ride life-like and resemble an authentic flying experience. Since an actual flight is expensive and limited, many visitors appreciate this virtual experience.
