Heading over 4 different zip lines with different, but all extremely beautiful views, was the highlight of our trip! The staff does a great job ensuring everyones safety and making the experience the best possible for everyone. This was one of our cruise stops and such a memorable way to spend the day in Akureyri. A simple and not too far of a walk from the port. A must do if you are planning a vis!

So much fun! We (43 / 16 / 13 / 12) all had the best time zipping around the Glerárdalur valley. It's intimidating at first to see those lines crossing the river, but it's actually not scary at all. The guides are very professional (and fun) and make sure you're set up right and safe to go. They also slow you down if need be, so you can just zip and enjoy the view. Or try doing some of the tricks the guides have up their sleeves. There are 5 lines, all different, which is fun, and the short walks to the lines along the river and back at the end are a fun experience in itself. Who knew there is such a beautiful spot in the middle of Akureyri!

Jon and his crew were amazing- went across the river 5x - there was a teenager showing us tricks if we wanted to do something more fun then yell et al. Had a great time- would do it again! Went with my mom who zip lined in Costa Rica and she loved it too

We had a fab time doing this. The guides (Jon and Anita) were so enthusiastic and fun, and Jon taught us all tricks which took it up a notch as a zipline experience. The canyon was beautiful. Great fun, highly recommend.

I highly recommend Zipline Akureyri. That is if you are into fairytale-like, thrilling adventures and fun! We were a group of 17 and every single one had a blast on our tour! Even the ones who were scared of height were doing the spiderman in the air, in the end.
The guides were wonderful and made you feel safe the entire time, plus the scenery is stunning, you can´t go wrong with this combo!
Five stars and 10 points go to Zipline Akureyri!

What a great time! Our guides were awesome, spoke almost perfect English, and were obviously pros at what they do. I was there in July and if it’s sunny out, you may not even need a coat. Ziplining over a river was a first for me and it is such a gorgeous place! Be warned that you will be hiking uphill and stair trails, so if you’re out of shape or have any significant disabilities, you may not be ready, but if you can then do it! Make sure your shoes are tied really well. LOL 😂
Many thanks to my guides!

I found this zipline adventure after we got an unexpected cruise ship overnight in Akureyri. With more time on our hands, and relatively few interesting shore excursions offered through the ship, this looked like the most fun thing to do in the whole town.
I was a little worried that it was far from the dock, but the city bus is free and goes almost right there. We didn't know how fast that transport was, and ended up there 30 minutes early, but they were very hospitable while we waited.
When our time came, we got a quick primer and off we went. Its a short walk from the office to the lines.

We came as a large group age 10-50s. We had a wonderful time on this adventure. The ziplines are so fun and the scenery is unexpected in the middle of town and so beautiful. However what took this experience over the top were the guides. They were very fun and attentive. Although this must be very old for them they kept the spirit of adventure high, the jokes and fun flowing constantly and the energy levels never waned. We cannot recommend this experience enough!!! Elfa and Steph….you are class acts! Wish we could come spend more time with you.

Its 5 ziplines, running along and beautiful river. The location is perfect - on outskirt of Akureyri , but once on the trail you can easily forget you are close to civilization. It's only river, lines and you flying through the air!
We got a tour while it was still open before winter break - and we got lucky! It was only two of us, which made excursion very smooth, filled with small talk and guide providing background about course and Akureyri.
Very recommended!
