SNORKELING & FLY OVER ICELAND
How about starting the day with snorkeling Silfra, a freshwater fissure and then “fly” around beautiful Iceland?
Silfra fissure is one of the top dive sites in the world, situated in Thingvellir National Park, only about 50 kilometers from Reykjavik. You can either head to Fly Over Iceland after the tour or move your reservation for another time and day that suits your travel plans best!
FLYOVER ICELAND
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 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.
Contact Fly Over Iceland via info@flyovericeland.is if you´d like to visit them at another time and/or day with at least 24 hour notice.
The total duration of the experience is 30-35 minutes. We do recommend that you reserve one hour for your visit to Fly Over Iceland – please be there 15 minutes prior the set start time.

Drysuit snorkeling
Wearing a drysuit makes snorkeling in 2-4 degree Celsius (35 degree Fahrenheit) water achievable – without experiencing the cold. With a thermal undergarment and the protection of the drysuit, you manage to stay dry and warm.
Wetsuit snorkeling
For our more daring and adventurous participants, who are after the ultimate Icelandic snorkeling experience, we usually recommend snorkeling in a wetsuit. You will have more mobility and are able to dive a little under the surface to explore Silfra up close and personal.
Not sure on which suit to go with? Take a look at our blog post wetsuit vs. drysuit to help you decide.
This is a self drive tour only – pick up is not an option.
Fly Over Iceland admission can be amended to a day and/or time that suits your travel plans best with 24 hour notice!
