River Rafting

The Hvítá glacial river is a beautiful and fun river at one hours drive from Reykjavík. The river has a perfectly balanced mix of serene canyons and adrenaline pumping waves and rapids. As we pass through the magnificent Brúarhlöð canyon participants have the option of jumping from a cliff into the river. No one should leave Iceland woithout experiencing the power that its rivers contain and lay eyes on the scenic canyons of Hvitá river.

No knowledge of the sport is required. Be sure to bring with you a warm sweater, bathing suit, change of clothing and a towel.
