Fantastic couple of hours zipping across raging rivers and gorges, the two guides were fun, experienced and ensured that you were safe. This fun filled tour was excellent value for money and I would not hesitate in recommending it as a must do in Akureyri.
Don’t miss this! What a cool way to see how nature and city intertwine in this magical corner of this magical country. The guides were fun, funny, and professional. The setup was to the highest standards. The scenery was simple gorgeous. So fun!!
My family had a wonderful time at this family-owned Zipline adventure! The trip has 5 ziplines that go back and forth along a beautiful river. The guides are warm, friendly, and funny which adds to the enjoyment. For anyone on a cruise, it is very easy to get to and from the cruise ship to this location independently.
This was a great experience. Easy to find and the scenic views were outstanding. The guides were personal and extremely helpful.
The scenery is spectacular. Hike from one zip line to another. There are a total of 5 zip lines of various lengths. Our guides were great. They were a lot of fun and worked hard to ensure everyone had a good time. Most important they made sure to stress safety
The zipline experience was amazing. So much fun! Just enough. Our guides Nika and Doart were amazing so professional and fun. The area was so beautiful. And to be in town so convenient.
This was such a fun day for us!. We took our included tour from the Cruise Line early in the morning and saw the Zip Line location. Once back at our Cruise, we headed out by foot back up the city and arrived at 11:45 for a noon tour. The guides were amazing, helping us get in our gear and explaining the process. The walk down to the first launch passed through a lovely meadow and then the adventure began. It made it more fun that we were with a 3 generation family and another younger couple. We all got along well. The last Zip had the most exciting as the breaking system took quite a bit of coordination! (We survived!!)
Two families of four enjoyed the five zip lines and going across the river. Guides were kind, check in was easy.
Guides were great, Jon was a very personable guy and so frickin interesting. Had cool insight on Iceland and just fun stories about life in that area in general. The zip lining itself was so fun, crossed a pretty river and got to whip through pretty fast. The also showed us some fun tricks to try and ended up upside down on a couple! Would absolutely go again
Easy to access. Friendly guides. Quality equipment. 5 zip lines in all. Somewhat short but a good value.
