Our Mega Zipline Experience in Hveragerði
We tried two different ways to experience the zipline in Hveragerði — a fast Superman-style flight and a calmer seated ride — giving us two very different perspectives on the same adventure.
Quick take
A fun, well-run adventure with two very different ways to ride. The Superman-style option delivers the speed and flying sensation, while the seated option is calmer and better for taking in the scenery.

Our Zipline Experience in Hveragerði
We arrived in Hveragerði on a beautiful day, around half an hour before our scheduled departure. The staff were friendly, upbeat and welcoming from the moment we arrived.
Then it was time to gear up — and this is where our experience split in two. Hekla chose the calmer seated ride, while I went for the faster Superman-style option, flying face-down in a harness designed to support me horizontally.
Getting Ready
We were given different equipment for the two rides. I received a helmet and the special harness for the prone flying position, while Hekla had a seated harness that kept her upright. Before departure, the guides went through the safety procedures and explained the equipment and what to expect.

Frequently asked questions
What zipline options are available in Hverageří?
The Hverageří zipline offers two formats: a Superman-style harness where you fly face-down for maximum speed and a traditional seated harness for a more relaxed ride. Both cover the same route, so you can choose based on how much intensity you want.
How long is the zipline ride in Hverageří?
Each individual run lasts roughly 40–60 seconds. Most tour packages include multiple runs so you can try both harness styles or repeat the one you prefer.
How do I get to the Hverageří zipline from Reykjavík?
Hverageří is about 45 km east of Reykjavík along the Ring Road, roughly 40 minutes by car. Some operators offer day-trip pickups from Reykjavík that combine the zipline with other activities in the geothermal valley area.
Is the Hverageří zipline suitable for beginners?
Yes — no prior experience is needed. Staff provide a full safety briefing and assist with harness fitting before each run. There are weight and age restrictions (typically minimum 30 kg, around age 7+), but the activity is otherwise suitable for most healthy adults and older children.
