This provides a more relaxed way of experiencing the zipline while still enjoying the speed and scenery.

For those seeking a more intense thrill, the Mega Zipline offers the "Superman ride." This option is not for the faint-hearted. Riders take on a head-first position, emulating Superman's iconic flying stance.

This ride is touted as the fastest way of flying without a motor, reaching a maximum speed of 120 km or 74.5 miles per hour! It's a full kilometer of pure adrenaline, providing an unparalleled experience of soaring over the breathtaking Icelandic landscape. This ride is specially designed for thrill-seekers and adventure enthusiasts, offering an unmatched sensation of speed and freedom.

Both rides offer a unique way to experience the beauty of Iceland from an aerial perspective, making the Mega Zipline a must-visit for anyone looking to add an exciting and memorable activity to their Icelandic adventure.
