Reykjavik: FlyOver Iceland Entry Ticket

2.FlyOver Iceland Entry Ticket

★★★★★★★★★★4.7 · 3,499 reviews · 35 min · from $45

In Reykjavik’s Grandi district, FlyOver Iceland takes you from an Icelandic Viking longhouse and the Well of Time into a suspended flying-theatre ride. You’ll see glaciers, fjords, waterfalls, and volcanic scenery on a giant spherical screen, with moving seats, wind, mist, scents, and music adding to the sensation of flight.

“FlyOver Iceland was an absolutely incredible experience and one of the most memorable things I did during my trip. From start to finish, it was immersive, exciting, and surprisingly emotional. The pre-show was engaging and well done, giving great insight into Iceland’s nature and culture, and then the flight itself was just breathtaking. The visuals were stunning—glaciers, volcanoes, waterfalls, and landscapes that felt so real it honestly felt like flying over the country. The motion, wind, scents, and music all came together perfectly and made the experience incredibly lifelike.”

You’ll feel its fierce heat, watch how lava behaves, and learn about eruptions near the capital. The premium option adds a drink, balcony seating, a furnace-room visit, and a lava souvenir.

“We loved the Lava Show a lot. Our host Neil (Saturday 31st Jan) was so incredibly friendly and knowledgable, as well as a little British humour thrown in there too. He is a credit to your company. The show was something we’ve never really seen before so we had no expectations, however we really enjoyed the uniqueness of it. As a girl with a Geography degree, it was so exciting to see something as cool as Lava so close. I will talk about this for a while! If you are wanting to spend an hour or so out of the cold, I really recommend the Lava Show. I hope to…”

“We upgraded when we got there for i think around 22 euro pp, this includes any 1 drink, access to the upper lounge, better seating, a small tour after the session, and a piece of volcanic glass to keep, the extra is worth it tbh , as the drink and piece of volcanic glass alone are worth more than the upgrade cost. This was a cool experience that i didnt have much expectations for but i was very suprised by.”

The attraction lasts about 30 minutes, with the ride itself taking roughly 15 to 20 minutes. You can also visit Kaffi Grandi and the gift shop, but transportation, food, and drinks cost extra.

“This is an immersive ride, where you have a 180-degree view of the landscape as you fly through. They have sprayers that simulate the mist you fly though, and your seat banks to add to the realism. Music makes it very cinematic. There is no dialogue except in the into video. You can walk to the venue from downtown Reykyavik in 20 minutes, which is about the duration of the show, itself. Like just about everything else in Iceland, the activity is expensive by US standards. At the time of this writing, tickets at the door were about US $60 each, or $45 at sites like this or other ones,…”

From what I've heard afterwards, I'm glad we chose Sky over Blue Lagoon--smaller, but less commercial. Great day, and great weather!”
