Glerárgil (Glass River Canyon) runs straight through Akureyri, effectively splitting the town in half. You can cross the river by bridge or Zipline. We prefer the Zipline!

Our adventure trail features five Ziplines and light hiking, taking you through an otherwise inaccessible area of the canyon. All our Ziplines cross the river but vary in length, speed, and location.

The tour is suitable for the entire family, groups of friends, couples, and solo travellers- anyone seeking a sense of freedom and excitement.

We meet at our base location in Akureyri, which is easily accessible by foot or vehicle. Our guides assist you in putting on the safety gear and brief you about the tour and safety matters. From the base, we hike for 2-3 minutes to reach the first Zipline. One guide zips over the river first and prepares to greet you on the landing platform, while the second guide secures you on the Zipline.

On the other side, we hike for 2 minutes to the next Zipline, and this continues for all five Ziplines. At the end of the 5th and final Zipline, the hike back to the base takes approximately 10 minutes. The total tour lasts between 1-2 hours, depending on group size and level. When we return to the base, our guides help you out of the safety gear.
