Iceland’s Republic Day is June 17, and Flyover in Las Vegas, where guests can get a breathtaking aerial journey through the land of fire and ice, is the perfect place to celebrate. 

The immersive “Legendary Iceland” film showcases the country’s dramatic landscapes, from volcanic peaks and glacial rivers to black sand beaches, using cutting-edge ride technology that simulates the feeling of flying. It’s a soaring tribute to Icelandic heritage, offering visitors a chance to connect with the country’s natural beauty and cultural spirit without ever leaving the Las Vegas Strip.

Get Transported To A Majestic Place Filled With ‘Wonder And Awe’ Without Leaving Vegas

Experience the raw beauty of Iceland as you soar over sweeping glaciers, dramatic fjords, and landscapes steeped in ancient mystery. Flyover in Las Vegas is an immersive journey that transports you to the land of fire and ice, offering a breathtaking adventure through one of the world’s most pristine and awe-inspiring destinations without actually being there.

“‘Legendary Iceland’ transports guests to a place of wonder and awe from the comfort of their seats, soaring above the country’s majestic fjords, sweeping glaciers, and ragged mountain ridges,” said Reece Westerlund, General Manager of Flyover Vegas.

“Dramatic footage of remote areas of Iceland was captured over the course of more than two years to bring guests sweeping vistas of the Aldeyjarfoss waterfall, Markarfljótsgljúfur canyon, Þrídrangar island, Mælifell volcano, Dyrhólaey cliffs, Goðafoss waterfall, and more in synchrony with the sounds and scents of Iceland.”

As for Westerlund’s favorite part in the film?

“There are so many amazing sights, it’s hard to choose! That said, Mælifell is probably my favorite,” Westerlund shared. “This green volcanic mountain surrounded by black sand is such a surreal and awe-inspiring sight, it looks like something right out of a fantasy film. Vestrahorn is another amazing mountain that many people don’t get a chance to visit, since it’s in the far eastern part of Iceland.”

Celebrate Iceland Republic Day On Tuesday, June 17 At Flyover

There’s a reason to celebrate every day, and on Tuesday, it’s all about Iceland Republic Day. Flyover offers a great way to celebrate the day Iceland style!

“Legendary Iceland” brings you right to the dramatic terrain and magical vibe of the country without ever leaving your seat. The state-of-the-art technology and immersive 8K visuals make you feel like you’re really there. With the added wind, mist, and specific scents, your mind, body, and soul are all transported to a mystical place in a fun and interactive way.

“Iceland is a destination that evokes intense wanderlust in many. With its dramatic landscapes, spectacular northern lights, active volcanoes, and iconic geothermal pools, it’s a destination that’s on the bucket list of many travelers,” Westerlund said. “The goal of ‘Legendary Iceland’ is to give guests an up-close-and-personal view of the country’s amazing sights and raise their desire to visit the country even higher. And for those who have been to Iceland, it’s a chance to revisit its beauty and experience locations that are very hard to access in real life.”

Flyover Has A Special Drink In Honor Of Iceland Republic Day – ‘Fire And Ice’

In honor of the day, Flyover is offering a special “Fire and Ice” cocktail that brings the spirit of the country right into the glass. Featuring Icelandic Revka Vodka and presented with a visual flair that evokes the lava, snow, and northern lights of the nation, it’s a delicious drink to say “Cheers to Iceland” with.

“‘Fire and Ice’ is Iceland in a glass. It’s also one of signature drinks that’s always on the menu. Drink the colors of the northern lights,” Westerlund said. “Enjoy the sweetness, saltiness and mystery of this smoky, magical island. Featuring Icelandic Reyka Vodka and crafted right in front of guests, the composition and construction of Fire and Ice evokes the lava and lights of Iceland. Taste, travel and enjoy.”

The drink is being served in The Lost Cactus, located at Flyover, so be sure to check it out either before or after your flight.

The 702 Took A Flyover Trip To Iceland

On a hot 100+ degree day in Vegas, there’s no better time for a Flyover in Iceland. I decided it was a great time to check out Iceland. I’ve been to Flyover before but experienced two different movies. While all three were amazing in their own ways, Iceland was the perfect hot day experience.

After watching a short movie to catch everyone up to speed on Iceland, and then a quick safety demo, it was time to catch our flight. Once seated and strapped in, it was time to leave Vegas and head to Iceland for a quick visit.

Without spoiling anything for future visitors, this experience is not only fun in the moment, but also memorable. Flyover certainly knows how to create an exciting attraction that will stick with you long after you leave.

The scenery, 4D effects such as smell and mist, and just the pure excitement of the other people on the flight with you, it’s just all perfection. Conveniently located on the south end of the Strip across from New York, New York, Flyover is a great option to get out of the heat to enjoy something unique. And with a bar that offers trendy and delicious cocktails, it’s a win-win for an afternoon adventure.
