    Saw it in February
    Due to weather we had several tours cancelled so found an indoor activity in Flyover Iceland. I have been on a similar ride in the states and liked it. I enjoyed the two short pre-show events. The Flyover was beautiful to see and feel. It may make some feel a little dizzy so be careful if you are prone to motion sickness. My teen son really enjoyed it the ride as well as the second pre-ride short show.
    Hi, we are happy that you enjoyed the experience! Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review, we really appreciate it! We hope you have a wonderful stay in Iceland. Best regards, the FlyOver Iceland team

    10 minutes of fairly repetitive and uninspiring video
    It’s a well constructed facility, but the content is poor. It’s not even particularly innovative - Alton Towers Cine 2000 did this 45 years ago! The “filler” presentations are produced well, but I’m afraid are rather bland and uninteresting. I don’t know where they get the “Allow 1-2hrs” suggestion on the website from. Even with the filler content we were in and out in about half an hour. I have no idea what you could do to fill in another 1.5hrs If the video was better edited, and if it covered some more areas of interest, and if it was twice as long, this might be value for money. As it is, it’s over priced.

    Very expensive for a 30 minute attraction
    Very expensive, it amounted to £30 for 30 minutes of entertainment. The flyover was a fabulous experience, a little fast at times and made your head spin but an incredible effect that allowed you to experience Iceland in all its finery. But it amounted to a £1 a minute entertainment, perhaps we should have read the website more throughly but we did it expect to be in and out in 30 minutes, it left what was a great experience slightly gained when your ushered through the gift shop and back out within half an hour, we left disappointed and feeling slightly robbed. If money is no issues I would recommend or I would put the money to an actual excursion and try and see a site in person.

    Do NOT buy anything in gift shop.
    BEWARE of the little gift shop. I stupidly bought a small box of tea and a small jar of sea salt without properly working out the currency conversion. My credit card shows these cost me £22.74 The flight costs around £24 and is excellent, worth the money. However the horrific cost of the token gifts would now make me reluctant to recommend the attraction without people being recommended to avoid the gift shop entirely. I know - buyer beware. Now you are aware you can avoid the rip off.

    Not worth the money
    If the price of this attraction was like $15 less, then this would be a 5 star review. Overpriced in my opinion, and room for improvement in the film itself. I’d say it would still be good for kids though. However, overpriced still!

    The film itself was incredible
    I enjoyed the experience, but of the 3 rooms you go in, the first two were completely pointless and boring. The final room, where the actual flyover experience is, was incredible / beautiful. However there was too much of the water spraying on you during the show! And it was too short in my opinion. I really would have liked narration or an idea of what I was seeing to provide some context.

    Cleverly produced but ultimately disappointing and expensive
    Disappointing really, despite the huge enthusiasm of the staff. I was really looking forward to this but, whilst it was spectacular at times, it was also too fast to absorb the amazing sights being shown and no information on what it was or where. It seems to want to be a fair ride, with the movement as if on the flight itself - clever enough but ultimately shortlisted and expensive.

    Great experience but expensive!
    This attraction was recommended to us by our driver. We looked on line and whilst the price was high decided to give it a go. It states it takes 30 to 40 minutes but the actual ride is about 10, therefore a very high price for what you get

    Fine, if you’ve got money to burn
    I might have been impressed with this 20 years ago. There’s nothing new here. Also, weirdly for Iceland, there was no story, just some short segments spliced together poorly. There were so many chances for long sequences flying down canyons but there seemed to be a 10 second limit on every scene. For the price I was expecting to be blown away. I wasn’t.

We have done similar experiences in the USA, and this matched or exceeded them. The pre-show was a great added touch.

Amazing! The shows beforehand were fun and the FlyOver itself was spectacular- we both cried in awe! However, I wish there were some scenes with volcanoes and the entrance price was a little expensive.

MUST, MUST DO THIS!! Found by chance on our red bus tour, in an industrial estate near the Whale museum, please do not miss this attraction one of the best things we have done on holiday, i would say well under advertised but maybe it is a new attraction! You do NOT have to get on an actual plane, it is a virtual experience and one of the best!! Not allowed any photos so can't add much but give it a visit!!
