Zipline Adventure

OVERVIEW

Race high above the wilderness on the outskirts of town on a series of ziplines for the ultimate adrenaline rush. The venue for this high-flying adventure will be the Zipline Akureyri, a wooded oasis in the Glerárgil River Canyon. After being harnessed into the zipline, off you will go on the first of five exhilarating courses that will carry you straight downhill at hair-raising speeds. Each zipline will offer a different view of the forested landscape and the roaring river below. You can expect it to be a nonstop thrill, even between ziplines, especially when standing atop a wooden platform perched high above the river. After warming up on a few of the shorter ziplines, you will take on the longest zipline in northern Iceland, a span that is nearly three football fields long. To make it even more exciting, take the challenge and ride the zipline upside down in the classic Spiderman pose.
