Silfra fissure exists due to the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates separating around 2 centimeters a year – leaving a rift in the landscape between them. This rift is filled with glacial water from Langjökull glacier that has been filtered through lava fields for decades before reaching Silfra – making the water exceptionally clear and drinkable.
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 only part really worth the money was the "flying" experience, which only lasts about 7 minutes. It is pretty amazing, but short.

This disney style ride presents the amazing views of Iceland. On my opinion the movements are too sharp and caused me some dizziness.

it is just like the soaring California game in disneyland. it is fun, but too short for the amount of money that it costs. You do get to see panoramic views of beautiful iceland. We missed not been given a view of the northern lights in the film.

It costs quite a bit more compared to his brother in Amsterdam (you tick off 40 euros for this dependency) but the experience is an adereline thrill. Small 8 minute flight over beautiful landscapes, craters and high mountains. Too bad the gassers and largest waterfall are not in it.

Gorgeous footage and nice to see Iceland during another season. A little cheesy but worth it for all the beautiful scenery

Fly over Iceland is worth every penny. We had the best time and felt like we had a real taste of Iceland. Having being injured and on crutches I was not able to travel far in Iceland when we visited. This allowed me to get a real feel for the Country and also want to come back and explore more when I am on my feet again.
