About this experience

Experience Iceland from a completely new angle on the Mega Zipline Iceland conventional ride — the longest zipline in the country. Seated in a specially designed, comfortable harness, you'll fly across a full kilometre of stunning Icelandic landscape, with the scenery unfolding beneath you at exhilarating speed.

The ride begins at the dramatic Black Canyon, a striking natural formation featuring cascading waterfalls and towering columnar basalt. From there, you glide all the way to the picturesque Reykjadalsá river near Reykjadalur Cafe, taking in the raw beauty of the Icelandic countryside throughout.

This package includes round-trip transfer from Reykjavík, operated by Reykjavík Excursions, so there's no need to arrange your own transport. The transfer runs combined with service to the Lava Tunnel, making it a seamless experience from the city.

All safety equipment — including a specialised harness and helmet — is provided on-site. Children aged 9 and over are welcome, making this a genuine family adventure. For those seeking an extra thrill, an upgrade to the superman-style "Falcon" ride is available for purchase directly at the Mega Zipline Iceland reception.

Experience details

Your adventure begins with a hotel pickup in Reykjavík, where you board a clearly marked Reykjavík Excursions bus. The transfer takes you directly to Mega Zipline Iceland, where staff will fit you with a specialised harness and helmet before your ride.

The conventional "Bird" ride covers a full kilometre, launching from the dramatic Black Canyon — a gorge defined by columnar basalt walls and waterfalls — and finishing at the Reykjadalsá river. The active time on the zipline is approximately 45–60 minutes, with the full outing lasting around three hours and fifteen minutes including transfers.

If you'd like to upgrade to the head-first superman position (the "Falcon" ride), this can be arranged at the reception desk on arrival for an additional fee. After your ride, the transfer returns you to Reykjavík.

Why choose this tour

This is the most straightforward way to experience Iceland's longest zipline without the hassle of self-drive logistics. Round-trip transfer from Reykjavík is built into the price, operated by a trusted local transport provider, so you simply show up and enjoy the ride.

The Black Canyon setting — with its basalt columns and waterfalls — makes this far more scenic than a typical zipline. With a minimum age of 9 years and weight limits designed for safety, it's a well-structured adventure for families, couples, and solo travellers alike. All safety equipment is included, and an on-site upgrade option means you can tailor the experience on the day.
