Description
Ride the longest zipline in Iceland over a canyon near Hveragerdi on this tour with transfers from Reykjavik. It suits travelers who want to combine nature with an adrenaline rush.
You travel by bus to the zipline base camp near Hveragerdi Town, which takes less than an hour. The base camp is at the trailhead of Reykjadalur Valley, known for its hot springs, with a canyon, rugged hills, a thermal river, and waterfalls.
When you arrive, you fill in the paperwork and get a safety briefing.
A short shuttle bus ride then takes you to the top of the canyon, followed by a short walk up to the launch platform.
Your guides look after your safety throughout, and no experience is needed.
You ride the conventional zipline, called "Free as a Bird." You sit in a harness with your legs stretched out in front and can spread your arms wide as you fly.
Two ziplines run side by side. The other is the Superman ride, called "The Falcon," where riders lie stretched out and fly head-first over the canyon.
As you fly over the canyon, you see Hveragerdi Town and then Reykjadalur Valley, with rivers, hills, and waterfalls below.
At 0.6 miles (1 kilometer), this is the longest zipline in Iceland.
If you want more, you can add an optional freefall activity at your own expense when you book or at the zipline reception on the day, subject to availability.
After the ride, a driver takes you back to Reykjavik, where the tour ends.
