Experience the Magic of Iceland Through Snorkeling and Immersive Flight Simulation Technology


Embark on a dual-adventure experience that showcases the natural beauty of Iceland from both the water and the sky. The day begins with a snorkeling session in the Silfra fissure, a world-renowned freshwater site known for its crystal-clear visibility and unique geological formation. This underwater exploration offers a rare opportunity to swim between tectonic plates, providing a serene and awe-inspiring start to an action-packed day of discovery in the heart of the Icelandic wilderness.


Following the aquatic adventure, guests head to the Grandi Harbor District for the FlyOver Iceland experience. This state-of-the-art attraction utilizes advanced flight simulation technology to transport visitors across the country's most dramatic landscapes. Seated before a massive 20-metre spherical screen, guests experience the sensation of flight as they soar over glaciers, volcanoes, and rugged coastlines. The ride is enhanced by special effects, including wind, mist, and scents, which combine to create a truly immersive and unforgettable sensory journey.


Before the main flight, participants are guided through pre-ride events that set the stage for the adventure. A resident storyteller and the character Sú Vitra lead guests through narratives that highlight the folklore, people, and natural forces that define Iceland. These stories ignite the imagination and provide essential context for the visual spectacle that follows, ensuring that every guest feels a deep connection to the land and its rich cultural heritage throughout the entire duration of the experience.


The total experience is designed to be efficient yet comprehensive, lasting approximately thirty to thirty-five minutes for the flight portion, with additional time recommended for the full visit. This combination of physical snorkeling and high-tech simulation provides a balanced perspective on Iceland's diverse environments. Whether you are a nature lover or a technology enthusiast, this tour offers a unique way to see the country from perspectives that are otherwise inaccessible to the average traveler.

Amazing experience to snorkel in between the tectonic plates. You get a warm overall and are fitted into a dry suit so that the seal fit tight around your neck and wrists. Good and gloves are semi-dry, but the water is so cold that they go rather numb than hurting. View was 10/10 worth it. Could be more scientific input, eg. background to the tectonic plates, how it affects the eco system etc, but all in all a great experience!

My sister and I went snorkeling in the Silfra Fissure in July, our guide Frede was amazing — hilarious, super knowledgeable, and had the van vibing to the best 00s rock/indie playlist. The van to the site was super nice too. It was a small group of six of us (plus our guide), which was perfect — easy to bond, chat, and then geek out together while floating between tectonic plates. The water is crystal clear and absolutely stunning — you’re literally drifting between continents. Don’t expect lots of fish or plants (this water is ~2–4°C / 35–39°F, nothing cute is thriving here), but the clarity and geology are unreal. You can even drink the water and… yes, I did. I am now a glacier-water sommelier and I give it 5 stars. They give you two suits to ward of the wet — body stays warm, hands and face get a spicy glacial tingle but you’ll be fine. There is a bathroom nearby, but it’s smaller, so don’t plan to fully change there. We stopped at a visitor center beforehand and they let us change there, which was clutch. Be prepared to float. You mostly hover, bob, and gently steer like a confused seal. The walk to the entry point is short but awkward, so have fun waddling there. 🐧 it’s worth it I promise. No long wait times, even though it was packed. Very smooth process, great guide, and seriously a core memory experience. If you’re on the fence, do it. And bring base layers to wear under the suits — especially if you run cold.

My daughter and I did this tour on Oct. 25th. The coldest part was standing around waiting for the group to be geared up and then waiting to enter the water. Once in the 2.0C water it was fine! Snorkeling between the tectonic plates was an experience not to forget. The water was very clear and the current just carries you along! Our guide, Guillaume was fantastic! The photos are hilarious!
