5.00A fantastic experience that is late forgotten. Upon arrival we were taken super well welcomed by 2 fresh guys. There was a good mood and they were happy and good at coming with instructions. After the safety equipment was dressed, the trip went up the mountain with an “offroad” buggy 😁 If we are so lucky to come back to this fantastic part of the world, it is sure that the trip should be tried again 😁 and next time it will be as Superman 😉 Clearly a visit every 5 🌟 is well deserved. Thank you for the trip guys
Great experience to have with friends!

5.00Our team went on the conventional ride tour together. Even though two of us were a bit scared of heights, the staff made sure we would have a comfortable experience. The waiting time can be scary, but when they launch you, it is a relaxing, safe moment with a fantastic view.
Great experience on a sunny day!

5.00Great experience on a sunny day! The staff was extremely friendly, everything went smoothly. We felt absolutely safe, instructions were clear (and simple) and the gear is in mint condition. The ride was frustratingly short, but the view was amazing and the glide sensation was perfect. We'll be back for the Superman ride, for sure!
A thrilling experience

5.00Amazing experience over the waterfall and the valley. It takes less than a min to cover the distance but worth going. Friendly and helpful staff. Only issue is it's far away from city without proper public transport to the site. Only 1 direct transfer from city at 9am. This needs to be improved. Difficult to reach for those without vehicles.
No fuss zipline in lovely location

5.00Beautiful location so it can be combined with many other activities. Check in was friendly, everything explained and gear handed out. All terrain buggy takes you up the hill. Once up the top, you get ready for your “flight”. It’s always over way too soon but it was a nice experience.
A perfect quick stop and worthy addition to your Iceland itinerary.

5.00I would recommend the conventional ride for first timers but for anyone else who seeks more adrenaline, go for the Superman, it is very safe. The overall experience was great. Price is not so bad. The staff were very friendly, creating a very positive atmosphere. They were busy but able to accommodate everyone's needs. The total length of visit was short, a perfect quick stop to your Iceland itinerary. Best for anyone who has limited time and worth to add in your list to visit.
Very nice experience

5.00We had a great time - my 19 year old did the Superman and my 15 year old and my husband and I did the regular ride. The buggy ride up was super fun (teens LOVED it) and the ride itself was so peaceful and beautiful. The staff was great - I highly recommend!
Can totally recommend it!!
