Mega Zipline Superman Ride with Transfer from Reykjavik

Fly face-forward for a full kilometer above Iceland's volcanic landscape, from a dramatic black canyon to a tranquil river valley.


The Mega Zipline Iceland Superman Ride sends you soaring horizontally, face-down and arms forward, across one full kilometer of raw Icelandic scenery in a specially designed falcon harness. This is the longest zipline in Iceland, purpose-built for those who want to experience flight rather than simply descend a wire. Round-trip transfer from Reykjavik is included, making it a seamless day excursion.

The ride begins at the Black Canyon, a striking volcanic gorge defined by columnar basalt formations and cascading waterfalls. From that elevated launch point, you travel the full length of the line before touching down beside the Reykjadalsá river, within sight of Reykjadalur Cafe. The contrast between the dark canyon walls and the green valley floor below is one of the most memorable visual sequences available on any guided outdoor activity in Iceland.

Transfer to the site is operated by Reykjavik Excursions and departs from BSI Bus Terminal. The bus route is shared with the Lava Tunnel tour, so passengers bound for the zipline continue onward to the Greenhouse Hotel in Hveragerdi, where a dedicated zipline shuttle collects them for the final short drive to the site.

The activity is rated moderate in difficulty, meaning participants need no prior zipline experience but should be comfortable with heights and able to follow the briefing given by the on-site guides. Children and adults can participate together, making this one of the few high-adrenaline outdoor experiences in Iceland that genuinely works for a mixed-age group.

Frequently Asked Questions

What makes this a Superman or falcon ride rather than a standard zipline?
Participants are fitted into a specially designed harness that positions the body horizontally, face-forward, replicating the sensation of flying rather than sitting or standing. This face-down flying position along the full kilometer distinguishes it from conventional seated ziplines.
Is prior zipline experience required?
No prior experience is required. On-site guides provide a complete safety briefing and assist with harness fitting before the ride begins. The activity is rated moderate difficulty, meaning comfort with heights is helpful but technical skill is not necessary.
How long is the transfer from Reykjavik to the zipline site?
The total one-way transfer takes approximately one hour. The bus departs from BSI Bus Terminal, stops at The Lava Tunnel, then continues to the Greenhouse Hotel in Hveragerdi where a dedicated zipline shuttle covers the final five-to-seven-minute drive to the site.
Where does the zipline start and finish?
The ride launches from the Black Canyon, which features columnar basalt formations and waterfalls. It concludes at the Reykjadalsá river near Reykjadalur Cafe in the Reykjadalur valley.
Is this activity suitable for children and families?
The operator describes the experience as suitable for the entire family. Confirm specific minimum age or weight requirements directly with the operator when booking, as these may apply for safety reasons.
What happens if the weather is unsuitable on the day?
Weather-related decisions are made by the operator based on on-site safety conditions. Guests should review the specific cancellation and rebooking policy provided at checkout to understand their options in the event of a weather cancellation.
