About this experience

Zipline Adventure on Sólheimajökull

Embark on an unforgettable journey of discovery and excitement on Sólheimajökull Glacier, where you will explore a newly discovered ice cave and experience the thrill of a zip line across the glacial landscape. Your adventure begins with a guided hike onto the glacier, where your crampons will grip the ice beneath your feet and each step will reveal the raw, untamed beauty of Iceland’s icy wilderness. As you walk, your expert guide will introduce you to the fascinating geology of the glacier and point out unique formations such as moulins and deep glacial crevasses.

After exploring the glacier, the adventure continues as you head toward the zip line. Strapped into your harness, you’ll soar through the sky, gliding over the glacier and taking in breathtaking views of the surrounding landscape. For those who prefer, ’No-fly’ tickets allow you to remain on the glacier and enjoy the full tour experience while watching your family or friends take the zip line.

This adventure is suitable for nature lovers, thrill-seekers, and anyone looking for a truly unique experience in Iceland. Our experienced guides provide all necessary equipment, safety instructions, and ensure every participant has an unforgettable journey.

Additional Details:

Activity accommodates up to 12 participants at a time, with a 1:6 guide-to-guest ratio. Larger groups are rotated to ensure everyone gets a turn on the zip line.
Optional Pickup/Drop-off from Reykjavik is available for an additional 175,000 ISK per group (max 6 pax), which automatically makes it a private tour. This option appears at checkout when available.
Please wear comfortable clothing and sturdy shoes, and be prepared to be amazed by the spectacular natural beauty of Iceland’s glaciers.

This Glacier Zip Line + Hike involves roughly 2 hours of total hiking. The first half of the terrain is very flat yet rocky and is relatively easy for a person of average fitness. The second half is hiking on the glacier which goes up a gradual incline for about 40 minutes. The overall hike is rated as easy with some areas of moderate exercise.
For safety and quality reasons, the zipline requires a minimum of 6 participants to operate. As a result, public group departures do not run daily. We do our best to group participants together on the same departure to ensure the activity can take place.
Private departures, however, are available daily, all year round, and can be scheduled at your convenience.
´No-fly´ Zip Line tickets are for guests who wish to participate in the full tour experience, except go on the Zip Line. ´No-fly´ tickets will have the opportunity to watch their family, loved ones and friends on the Zip Line. They will not have the opportunity to leave the tour early and must stay with the guide.
Photo packages may sometimes take more or less than 14 days to edit. This is just our average turnaround time.
