WELCOME TO ZIPLINE AKUREYRI

We have five lines waiting to zip you over a rustling river and steep cliffs!

Our guides will lead you safely through the fairytale-like river canyon with a mix of zipping & light hiking.

THE TOUR

The experience takes 1-2 hours, depending on the group size and activity level, and goes something like this:

We welcome you at the Zipline Akureyri base (see map below) where we help you put on the safety gear.
Then we walk 2-3 min. to the first zipline.
The first guide zips ahead and receives one guest at a time. The second guide assists and secures guests to zip.
In a group we follow a short forest path to the next zipline, and so on for 5 ziplines.
At the end of the fifth and last zipline we hike approx. 10 min. back to base.

Open every day in summer!

All safety gear included!

Meeting point: see map below.
