What other travelers are saying about
FlyOver Iceland
I was a bit skeptical about this tourist attraction, but decided to give it a try… and wow, it was amazing! It really feels like you’re flying over Iceland’s beautiful landscapes. They even spray with some mist when the video goes through clouds, waterfalls or geothermal vents. But what surprised me was that they stimulate also your sense of smell. From the lavender of the flower fields to the sulfur of the geyser. Well done!
It was so nice! I love the flyover and the amazing transitions between the scenes! They look so seamless and makes the whole experience seem like 1 clip! The coordination is amazing too! Whenever the drone flies to a destination there will be something happening like ballet class in a school or a man playing the trumpet on the balcony, all timed perfectly!
This place is absolutely amazing! I wasn’t sure if we would find it interesting, since we had just finished a real tour of Iceland ourselves, but we were so glad we did this. The immersive experience is like no other, and gives you a thorough birds eye view of the entire country. We were amazed at the ability of the ride to make it feel like you were actually soaring up and down and over different areas. They even made it smell like sulfur in the room when you were flying over some of the steam vents!
