Description
Enjoy the thrill and excitement of flying over the beautiful landscape of the Glass River Canyon on this zipline tour. Explore a hidden gem of nature in the middle of the town that is famous amongst the locals.
Glerárgil (Glass River Canyon) runs straight through Akureyri, effectively cutting the town in half. You can cross the river via bridge or Zipline. We prefer Zipline!
Our adventure trail via five Ziplines and light hiking takes you through an otherwise unaccessible area of the canyon. All our ziplines take you over the river but vary in length, speed and location.
The tour is suitable for the whole family, a group of friends, couples and solo travellers. Anyone who seeks to experience a sense of freedome and excitement.
We meet at our base location in the town of Akureyri, easily accessible by foot or vehicle. Our guides help you put on the safety gear and brief you about the tour and safety issues. From base we hike 2-3 min. to the first Zipline. One guide zips over the river first and gets ready to greet you on the landing platform. The second guide secures you on the Zipline. On the other side we hike 2 min. to the next Zipline and so on for 5 Ziplines. At the end of the 5th and last Zipline the hike back to base is ca. 10 minutes. The total tour takes from 1-2 hours depending on group size and level. When we get back to base our guides help you out of the safety gear again.
