Iceland Adventure Combo

Above & Below: Silfra Snorkeling & Fly Over Iceland with Snorkeling Photos

Dive into a crystal-clear tectonic fissure, then soar over Iceland's most iconic landscapes in a single unforgettable day.


This combo adventure pairs Silfra snorkeling with the immersive FlyOver Iceland ride, giving you two radically different yet equally spectacular perspectives on Iceland's natural world within a single day.

Silfra is a freshwater crack between the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates, fed by glacial meltwater filtered through lava rock for decades. The result is some of the clearest water on Earth, with visibility extending beyond 100 metres in places.

FlyOver Iceland, located in the vibrant Grandi Harbor District of Reykjavik, uses a spherical 20-metre screen, motion seats, and multi-sensory effects to simulate flight across glaciers, coastlines, and highlands. Wind, mist, and scents heighten the sense of genuine aerial movement.

Together, these two experiences form a day that covers Iceland from its submerged tectonic boundaries to the wind-swept landscapes above, offering a genuine cross-section of what makes this island so remarkable.

Tour Highlights

Snorkel the Silfra fissure between two tectonic plates in glacially clear freshwater.

Receive professional underwater snorkeling photos to document your dive.

Experience FlyOver Iceland's immersive flight ride over volcanoes, glaciers, and fjords.

Feel real wind, mist, and scent effects during the aerial simulation for full sensory immersion.

Visit both Thingvellir National Park and Reykjavik's Grandi Harbor District in one day.

Rated easy difficulty, making this combo accessible to most fitness levels.

Available across all seasons, allowing year-round access to both experiences.
