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.

Unique wonderful wonderful experience with Inès in Iceland , it was unforgettable because the first time I regained confidence at sea after experiencing a drowning in Uruguay a few years ago , I managed to overcome this trauma today thanks to Inès who knew how to help me with his confidence and sense of responsibility by being able to be extremely professional in addition to being very gentle and human. Unforgettable experience, I highly recommend
One of the most amazing experiences my wife and I ever had. It starts with a short summary of the history of Iceland and is followed by a few minutes - too few, unfortunately...- of an exhilerating and very realistic magic carpet ride through the main natural atractions of beautiful Iceland. Highly recommended as the first show for anybody who is visiting Iceland for the first time, as it gives many clues to what natural beauties to visit during your stay
The only part really worth the money was the "flying" experience, which only lasts about 7 minutes. It is pretty amazing, but short.
Dear Gerard, Thank you for your feedback. Please note that the Fly Over experience is operated by our partners at Flyover Iceland. We would have loved to hear your thoughts of the Silfra snorkeling, the part of your tour that we do operate. Kind regards, The Adventure Vikings team
Hello, we have a very impressive trip with Adventure Viking Wilmar today! Snorkeling in the Silfra crevice! Great experience! The guide Wilmar, was top! Well explained, funny and with full commitment until the end! Despite rain a great experience!!! Danke Wilmar PS the best hot chocolate was afterwards!!!
This disney style ride presents the amazing views of Iceland. On my opinion the movements are too sharp and caused me some dizziness.
Thank you for leaving our partners at Fly Over Iceland a review. We however do not operate that portion of the tour. We would have loved to read a bit about your experience with the Silfra snorkeling, the portion of the tour which we do operate. We hope that you had a great time in Silfra and enjoyed all its beauty. Kind regards, The Adventure Vikings team
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.
Thank you for your honest review. We are glad hear you thought the Fly Over Iceland Virtual experience with our partners at Fly Over Iceland was fun. We however only operate the Silfra snorkeling portion of the combo tour and would have to loved to hear your opinion on that part. We sure hope you enjoyed snorkeling in Silfra. Kind regards, The Adventure Vikings team
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.
Thank you for your honest review. We're glad to hear you enjoyed the virtual tour with our partners at Fly Over Iceland. We sincerely hope that you also very much enjoyed the Silfra snorkeling tour with us. We hope hope to welcome you back on more adventurous viking tours. Kind regards, The Adventure Vikings team

Gorgeous footage and nice to see Iceland during another season. A little cheesy but worth it for all the beautiful scenery
Fly Over Iceland was truly like being in a helicopter over the fabulous sights of Iceland. It was a great overview of the beauty that is Iceland!
