  • A Great Adventure!


Tour Description:

We started rafting the Hvítá River (pronounced Kveetau) almost 25 years ago and since those early days it has been the most popular adventure activity in Iceland. The Hvítá river is a beautiful and fun river a little more than one hour from Reykjavík. The river has a perfectly balanced mix of serene canyons and adrenaline pumping waves and rapids. On our way we pass through the magnificent Brúarhlöð canyon and in that stunning setting participants have the option of jumping from a cliff into the river.  Who can resist going glacier river swimming in Iceland? 

No one should leave Iceland without experiencing the power that its rivers contain and lay eyes on the scenic canyons of Hvítá river...not to mention relaxing in our sauna or hot-tubs after a day of adventure!
 
We raft a seven kilometer stretch of the river and in the famous Brúarhlöð canyon the rafters get to jump from a cliff into the river.
 
The morning tour includes a lunch buffett after the river rafting.
The afternoon tour includes a BBQ lamb steak dinner after the rafting at Drumbo.

14.900 ISK for the morning tour and to 15.900 ISK for the afternoon tour.

Well organised, had fab time, anyone can enjoy this, only improvement would be if they provided gloves, we went on the last day they operate the tour for the season and it was so chilly our hands weren't working to well with the paddles.

This was one of the best tours we did the guides were really fun whilst ensuring everyone was safe. Only downside was the coldness of the river but that can't be helped. The BBQ was reall good and would definately recommend this tour

It was a great trip. The river is not so dangerous. Jumping off the cliff is really fun. The water is really cold but in the end you get a nice sauna to warm you up. I really recommend everybody to do it!

Great trip even though the rapids were quite tame. Rafters were very nice shame the hot tub wasn't working .

It was great fun! However a bit dissaponting for me not to be able to go this hot-top when we got back from the rafting. I was sooo looking forward to that. Was told it was not running that day. So the rafting and cliff jumping was super, but tha stuff about sauna and hot-tops just does not live up to what I expected.
