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.
Itinerary
Reykjavík pickup
Southbound departure
Begin the adventure with a comfortable departure from the confirmed meeting point, then watch the landscape open into lava fields, coastal lowlands and distant glaciers.
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.
Vík zipline
Guided aerial circuit
Vík is a colourful coastal village set between green mountains, black-sand beaches and the Reynisdrangar sea stacks. Its hilltop church and ocean viewpoints create a classic South Iceland scene, while the village offers a welcoming pause on the journey east.
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.
Return to Reykjavík
Westbound finish
Settle back for the westbound drive, with time to revisit the day’s glacier, waterfall and coastal highlights as the road returns to Reykjavík.
