Set in the lush and dramatic landscapes near Hveragerði, the Mega Zipline is Iceland’s longest and fastest zipline, and an absolute must for thrill-seekers visiting the Land of Fire and Ice. This article will walk you through everything you need to know about this unforgettable experience—from what to expect on the ride, to how TPO.Travel makes getting there and back a breeze.
What is Mega Zipline?
Nestled on the scenic Kambar plateau, just above the charming town of Hveragerði, the Mega Zipline offers a full kilometer (1,000 meters) of soaring adventure. With a vertical drop of 120 meters, this zipline lets you reach speeds of up to 120 km/h as you glide over one of Iceland’s most spectacular gorges—Svartagljúfur, known for its steep cliffs and cascading waterfalls.
Whether you’re traveling solo or with a companion, the Mega Zipline has two parallel lines, allowing you to fly side by side and share the adrenaline rush together. As you glide over the gorge, you’ll be treated to sweeping views of waterfalls, lava formations, and green valleys, all of which make this not just a thrilling experience—but a visually breathtaking one too.
What Makes This Adventure Special?
Iceland is full of natural wonders, but what makes Mega Zipline unique is its ability to showcase nature while giving you an adrenaline rush. You won’t just be watching the scenery—you’ll be part of it, zipping through it like a bird in flight. Here’s why the Mega Zipline stands out:
- Length and Speed: At one kilometer, it’s the longest zipline in Iceland, and also the fastest. Few experiences can compare.
- Location: Flying above Svartagljúfur gorge, you’ll see cliffs, waterfalls, and volcanic rock formations few others can access.
- Double Lines: You can share the thrill with a friend or family member riding alongside you.
- Perfect Day Trip: Located close to Reykjavik, it makes for an ideal half-day adventure.
- Safe and Professional Setup: With modern equipment, trained staff, and thorough safety briefings, the experience is as safe as it is exciting.
A Glimpse at the Ride
Your adventure begins with a brief orientation session where guides provide a safety briefing and help you get harnessed up with all necessary gear. You’ll then walk to the launch platform on Kambar plateau, perched high above the valley.
As you prepare to launch, the world opens up in front of you—a 360-degree view of Iceland’s unspoiled landscapes, the roar of waterfalls below, and a ribbon of steel cable stretching out into the sky.
Then comes the moment. The countdown begins. And suddenly, you’re off—soaring at high speed, the ground a blur beneath your feet, the wind whipping by, and nothing but nature around you. It’s the kind of moment that you’ll replay in your memory long after your trip is over.
