Zip line tours in Iceland

Zip lining in Iceland means gliding over a canyon or open landscape on a cable line, usually as part of a short session with several runs rather than a single line. It is a quick way to add some adrenaline to a day trip without much time commitment.

What to know before booking

Sessions are typically an hour or two and include a safety briefing, harness fitting and several zip line runs.

No experience is needed, and it suits most fitness levels, though there is usually a minimum age and weight limit set by the operator.

Dress for the weather rather than the activity itself, closed shoes and a jacket are enough. Harnesses and helmets are provided.

It pairs well with a South Coast or Golden Circle day trip since sessions are short and don't need a full day on their own.
