Discover the stunning scenery in an adrenaline-fueled ride above streams, green hills, waterfalls, and gorges right next to the village of Vík where our Zipline is located. The Vík village in South Iceland is surrounded by beautiful hills and valleys. It is not directly accessible by vehicle so we pick you up at Nordur Vik Hostel.

Highlights
A zip-line ride is a great adventure for all those who love the thrill of doing something challenging but at the same time very safe. The tour includes an easy hike through breathtaking river canyon and two zip-line rides. The first one, which is the longer of the two, stretches 235 meters followed by a shorter line of 135 meters. The scenery below you, named Grafargil is incredibly beautiful and you will have the birds-eye view of it as you whiz down the zip-line.
Itinerary
We pickup you up at Norður Vík Hostel in Vík, we drive for 5 minutes, then hike for another 20 minute at a moderate pace to reach the take-off platform for the first zip, named The Gentle Giant.
We will give you detailed safety instructions and make sure you are comfortable with what to do during the ride so you will enjoy the ride to the fullest and stay safe. Once you’re ready then you wait your turn and next thing you know, you are zipping above the canyon, heart pumping with excitement and having the best birds-eye view of the area that you can’t imagine beforehand.
Then we take a short hike through amazing rock formation of Grafargil (Grave Canyon) to the next activity, named Leap of Faith. Then follows the second zip-line that we call Little Rush, it will take you over a stunning waterfall, named Hundafoss. Last but not least we have a short hike back to our base if the weather permits.
