Zipline & Icelandic Lava show
Zipline & Lava show
This combo tour links together both fabulous outdoor activity and our adventurous zipline experience. You’ll view a steaming hot show, from the lava experts at the Icelandic Lava Show. The Zipline Adventure takes you through a breath-taking river canyon and afterwards the lava show is going to warm you up, which we think is necessary after a day out in Icelandic weather.
Booking both together get’s you a 30% discount on both activities, ideal for the curious traveller. Full price: ISK 17.800kr. Our price: ISK 12.460kr.

Zipline
We meet up on location at our base. If you arrive early feel free to use the restroom facilities, make use of Wi-Fi and sip on a cup of tea or coffee before our guides arrive to meet you. You will be briefed on safety protocols, get dressed up in a harness and helmet and drive to the zipline starting point. We start by hiking to the first of 4 ziplines. We will give you detailed safety instructions and make sure you are comfortable with what to do during the experience so you will enjoy our ziplines 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 on our two first ziplines, Big Rush and The Gentle Giant. Then we take a short hike through the amazing rock formation of Grafargil (Grave Canyon) to the next activity, named Leap of Faith. Lastly, the last zip-line that we call Big Rush, 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, if not, we drive.
Icelandic Lava show
After your exciting experience outdoors on our ziplines, you’ll be attending the Icelandic Lava Show (showtimes vary depending on your booking time). This is the only place in the world where you can safely experience hot molten lava in close proximity. The show recreates a volcano eruption, similar to what Eyjafjallajökull and Katla volcano is famous for, by pouring molten lava (1100°C / 2000°F) into the showroom and over ice. It is an epic battle between the elements and a unique opportunity to get close to red-hot lava, see it flowing, hear it sizzling, and feel the intense heat that radiates from it. A true feast for all the senses.

Hiking boots
Remember your hiking boots! You will be travelling in Iceland, our terrain is mostly untouched and we would like to keep it that way. That’s why we don’t make huge walking paths in the landscape but follow narrow and uneven sheep trails along our trails. Hiking boots help you when the route is wet and slippery and support your ankles if you are unused to walking on an uneven surfaces.
