Description

Take a virtual flight across Iceland without leaving Reykjavik.

This attraction combines film, storytelling, and modern technology in an immersive ride that takes you over the landscapes of Iceland.

You hang suspended in your seat, feet dangling, in front of a 66-foot (20-meter) spherical screen while a film takes you on a journey across Iceland. Wind, mist, and scents combine with the motion of the ride to give you the feeling of flying.

Before the flight, you see two pre-shows. These multimedia pieces explore the roles of nature and time on this small island in the North Atlantic Ocean, with volcanoes, Vikings, trolls, and the people of Iceland.

You first enter the Longhouse, where a storyteller tells a tale of early Iceland by the light of a crackling fire, brought to life with shadow play.

Next is an immersive presentation on the forces of nature and the human spirit in Iceland, led by a wise troll character based on local legends.

Then you take flight, soaring and dipping through canyons and over glaciers. A film crew spent over a year capturing Iceland from the air, from ancient ice formations and mountains to Dyrholaey Cliffs and Landmannalaugar Nature Reserve.

After the ride, you see a map showing where you flew. There's also a shop with products from Icelandic vendors, and you can buy a photo of your flight.

On the ground floor, there's a cafe where you can get food and drinks.

Tips from travelers

  • Go early in your vacation

    Starting your journey here gives you a clear visual introduction to remote regions across Iceland that you might explore later.

  • Visit in the late afternoon

    Crowds tend to thin out before dinner, making the waiting areas and pre-shows much calmer.

  • Save it for foul weather

    The entire attraction is sheltered indoors, making it an easy way to escape rainy or stormy days in the capital.

  • Stow bulky winter layers

    Leave heavy coats in the cubbies before the ride so you can buckle the seat belts comfortably.

  • Pocket phones before departure

    Secure loose personal items before the platform moves, as your feet hang suspended over a deep drop.

  • Ask about discounted repeat flights

    Check with the front counter before leaving if you want to go through the flight simulation again.

Good to know

The experience starts with walk-through staging rooms that cover Icelandic history and folklore before you enter the main theater. Once seated, mechanical arms push the chairs out over a spherical projection dome with gentle banking, scents, wind, and light spray.

Riders hang with their feet suspended in the air. Guests who are uneasy with open heights may find the steep visual drops intense, though closing your eyes for a moment helps ground your senses.

The whole experience lasts about 25 to 35 minutes, including two pre-shows of about 6 to 8 minutes, a safety briefing, and a flying ride of about 8 to 10 minutes.

Riders must be at least 40 inches (102 centimeters) tall, and heights are measured on arrival; there's no minimum age.

Children aged 13 and under must be accompanied by an adult or guardian aged 14 or older.

The ride is gentle: you sit in chairlift-style seats and are lifted in front of a large spherical screen, with special effects such as wind and scents.

Most people find the ride comfortable, but a small number may feel discomfort from the motion or the height, so if you're very prone to motion sickness or afraid of heights, consider this before booking.

Following industry guidelines for motion rides, pregnant guests shouldn't take the ride.

Guests with chronic back or neck pain, heart conditions, photosensitive epilepsy, or sensitivity to flashing lights and visual effects should not ride, or ride at their own risk.

The experience involves standing for about 20 to 30 minutes and using stairs.

If standing or stairs are difficult for you, tell a staff member when you arrive, and they can provide seating at some points, reduce the number of stairs, or help you use the elevator.

Guests who use wheelchairs can ride if they can transfer to the ride seat on their own or with a companion's help; otherwise, they can watch from a stationary position on the ride platform with a staff member.

For safety reasons, a companion of a guest watching from the platform must either ride or wait off the ride platform.

A companion accompanying a paying guest who uses a wheelchair gets free admission.

If you use a wheelchair, contact the attraction in advance, as the number of wheelchairs per show is limited.

What travelers love

More than half of reviews mention the scenery.

  • Multi-sensory wind and mist effects
  • Informative historical pre-shows
  • Aerial views of remote landscapes
  • Welcoming venue staff

Most common complaint: Travelers often feel that the actual flight ends too quickly after the introductory stages. Take time to focus on the storytelling in the walk-through pre-shows, which make up most of the total experience.
