Vito
Wow! What an absolutely incredible experience. Ziplining with Zipak was hands-down one of the best things we did on our entire trip to Iceland. If you're looking for an unforgettable adventure, this is it! From the moment we arrived, the guides were fantastic. They were not only professional, knowledgeable, and extremely focused on safety (which made us feel completely at ease), but they were also hilarious, encouraging, and so passionate about the beautiful nature around them. They truly made the experience special. The ziplines themselves are exhilarating! Soaring over the stunning river gorge gives you the most breathtaking views. It's the perfect combination of a thrilling adrenaline rush and the chance to appreciate Iceland's raw beauty from a unique perspective. The whole setup is top-notch, with excellent equipment and a very well-organized tour. Even if you're a little nervous about heights, the guides are so supportive they will have you feeling confident and laughing in no time. We left with huge smiles on our faces and memories that will last a lifetime. We cannot recommend Zipak highly enough! Thank you to the whole team for the amazing day!

Was Amazing. 2 minutes from town. 1 hour tour but such a great zipline through the canyan. Want to do it again. Make sure you bring your camera and or go-pro. We forgot!! Ugggh Guides are very funny and have good stories before each zipline.

We made a last-minute booking through GetYourGuide and it turned out to be one of the best decisions of our Iceland trip! Our two lovely guides were warm, fun, and made the whole experience so enjoyable. There are 5 ziplines set up around the river, and both kids and parents had a fantastic time. Highly recommended!

We had a brilliant time ziplining last week. The guides were so friendly and really put us at ease. To be honest I was really scared and nearly backed out but the guide gave me time to gather myself and I did it! Was a fab experience, would absolutely do it again. My daughter was unwell when we arrived so couldn't take part but the staff were all really kind and looked after her which enabled us to still do the activity.

Doing this zip line activity was an amazing experience! Jon and his daughter were the best guides! Helpful and friendly, they made everyone feel comfortable and gain confidence in doing this for the first time. The gave us so much information not only about zip line but about Iceland in general. It was such a fun and great experience for the whole family! I definitely recommend it as a must do when you are in Akureyri.

Highlight of this tour was honestly the tour guides - Sabrina and Elfa! They were so entertaining, nice, and made for an incredible tour 😊 Zip lining itself was very nice and included five different zip lines varying in length, several of which are over the river and very picturesque. Took about 2 hours. There was also a very friendly cat at the beginning of the tour, and I loved the wooden statues :)

Fun ziplining. Website is very descriptive about the journey. Had a fun time with great tour guides. Takes about 1:45 with a group of 9 people going down 5 zip lines over the 'glass river.' Arrive 5-10 minutes early to get harness on.
