FlyOver Iceland
Good experience. Not sure it’s worth the price per person for adults, but our kids (12-9) enjoyed it. The 10 minute ride ‘soaring’ over Iceland is the highlight, supplemented by some introductory videos. The food and coffee in the cafe was on point. Book tickets in advance. Overall it ended up being a nice stop during bad weather on day 1 of our trip.
This is a fly over the beautiful landscapes of Iceland through the seasons. Before the actual ride, there are 2 additional segments of large screens where we get a look of Icelandic life style and an introduction to Trolls. While the rise is much like the Disney fly over ride, there is a grand finale of fireworks. We had a good experience.
Our experience at FlyOver Iceland was amazing and definitely was a higlight of my trip. To be honest I didn't know what to expect at the beginning. They take your picture as later you can buy it when exiting museum. First part is introduction and legends "come to life". After that is done you go to the simulation flight over Iceland most iconic landscapes and places. It is full experience with motion and sound as well as water splashing when needed. I really do recommend it as it is worth it. Maybe better to visit at the end of your trip as you can recognize most of the places you already visited. At least for me it was better that way. Truly unique experience 👌 that I would do again.
