This longest zip-line in Iceland is a high-flying adventure for the whole family.
Itinerary
Mega Zipline is suspended over Svartagljúfur canyon, starting atop the Kambar plateau overlooking Hveragerði and leading down to a cafe near the trailhead to the Reykjadalur hot spring valley. Two lines, each 1 km long, run parallel to each other at an average of 10° slope, giving those travelling together a chance to take flight simultaneously.
The adventure begins at Mega Zipline’s reception area by the Reykjadalur trailhead. There, Mega Zipline staff walk guests through all safety precautions and outfit them with the appropriate equipment for their flight. All guests are provided with safety harnesses and a helmet. Those embarking on the “Fast as a Falcon” flight also receive goggles.
From the reception, guests are driven to the start of the “Svartagljúfur” canyon and from there – there is about 10 – 15 minutes walk to the flight tower on Kambar. During this walk, the guests will enjoy the breathtaking view of the Canyon, including its waterfalls and columnized basalt. When arriving at the fall tower, they will be met by Mega Zipline pilots and briefed again on the safe use of the zipline. Guests are then sent down the zipline — one on each line — for the flight of their life.
Automatic cameras positioned along the line will snap pictures of the experience. When the flight is over, guests return to the reception area to drop off their gear, view their video (or photographs), peruse the gift shop and wish they could go again and again.
