This 5.5-hour tour from Reykjavik takes travelers on a full-kilometer "Superman" ride across different kinds of natural wonders before showing them the beauty underneath Iceland's surface.
The action begins when a driver picks you up from a designated location in Reykjavik. You'll then ride a comfortable bus to the zipline home base in Hveragerdi, about 29 miles (47 kilometers) from Iceland's capital.
Upon reaching the base, a guide will welcome you and provide background on the tour. They will also provide you with all the necessary safety equipment for the zipline adventure. You'll get a helmet, speed goggles, and a specialized harness to keep you secured as you glide through the zipline.
Ziplining in Iceland is a must-try adventure for many reasons. The first is the unparalleled scenic and awe-inspiring views.
As you glide in the air, you'll get a different perspective of Iceland's natural wonders that you cannot get from the ground. Expert guides ensure your safety and provide comprehensive instructions so you can feel confident and secure while enjoying this thrilling activity.
Once you're all geared up, the guide will accompany you to the launch tower. They'll position you in a "Superman" position, with your head forward, for the most exciting experience. The guide will then hit the button to release you into the zipline, where you will soar over the landscape like a falcon.
Your zipline adventure begins at the "Black Canyon," where you'll see different forms of natural attractions, including beautiful waterfalls and captivating basalt formations. The initial moment of free-fall is both nerve-wracking and exciting. But as you begin to glide, you'll feel the wind whipping past you as it carries the clean scent of Icelandic nature.
Your Superman zipline adventure ends at Reykjadalsa, a picturesque river and favorite fishing spot.
After enjoying your zipline experience, you'll have a break before the guide takes you to the tour's second location, the lava tunnel of Raufarholshellir.
Raufarholshellir cave takes you into the heart of the island's volcanic past. The lava tunnel is one of the longest and most accessible lava tubes in Iceland, stretching nearly 4462 feet (1,360 meters).
Before entering the lava tunnel, the guide will first give you the necessary safety gear, including a helmet and lights. As you enter the tunnel, you'll see a vibrant display of colors on the walls. These colors were created by the diverse minerals left behind by the cooling lava.
Moreover, you'll see various lava formations, including stalactites and stalagmites. As the guide shows you the way, they will share insights into the tunnel's formation and geological significance.
At the end of the tour, the guide will take you back to Reykjavik as you carry the memories of your thrilling adventures.
