Cruise excursion - It was cold the day we went and I was worried, but we bundled up and it ended up being such a great day. Much more beautiful than I even expected. I went with my teenage son and we had so much fun! We did need to get a taxi to get there from the cruise ship. Its too far to walk.

Great zipline, even greater guides! - We had a fab time doing this. The guides (Jon and Anita) were so enthusiastic and fun, and Jon taught us all tricks which took it up a notch as a zipline experience. The canyon was beautiful. Great fun, highly recommend.

Fantastic - We came as a large group age 10-50s. We had a wonderful time on this adventure. The ziplines are so fun and the scenery is unexpected in the middle of town and so beautiful. However what took this experience over the top were the guides. They were very fun and attentive. Although this must be very old for them they kept the spirit of adventure high, the jokes and fun flowing constantly and the energy levels never waned. We cannot recommend this experience enough!!! Elfa and Steph….you are class acts! Wish we could come spend more time with you.

Zip Line adventure on 8 Aug 24 - Super job all around!! Great experience on our short visit to Akureyri with Celebrity Cruises. Easy and safe (up hill) walk on sidewalks from the cruise port to Zipline Akureyri. Highly recommend this event if you are interested in a zipline experience. Tom and Linda Wilmington, NC
