Description

See South Iceland from a thrilling new angle as you glide above a rugged canyon framed by waterfalls, green slopes and volcanic rock.

The zipline brings together playful adrenaline and beautiful natural views in an easy-to-add adventure that feels exciting from the first launch. Clear organisation and expert guidance make it easy to relax into the experience and enjoy every memorable moment.

Skógafoss and Seljalandsfoss provide the natural bookends. Both are visited on foot from nearby parking areas, with the walk-behind path at Seljalandsfoss used only when seasonal conditions allow.

Vík

Village and activity base

Iceland’s southernmost mainland village sits beneath dramatic cliffs with the Reynisdrangar stacks just offshore. Vík combines sweeping coastal views, a landmark red-roofed church and an easy chance to enjoy the character of a small Icelandic community.

Skógafoss

Broad 60-metre waterfall

Skógafoss combines raw power with classic South Iceland scenery: a 60-metre cascade, moss-covered cliffs and a vast open foreground. From the foot of the falls it feels immense; from above, the view stretches across the lowlands to the sea.

Seljalandsfoss

Waterfall below Eyjafjallajökull

A ribbon of glacier water falls from the former sea cliffs at Seljalandsfoss, framed by mossy rock and wide views across the coastal plain. The famous path behind the waterfall lets you experience the power, sound and light of the cascade from a completely different angle.
