Wonderful West - River Rafting on Jökulsá Vestari

This is a tour designed for friends and families to come together and experience an adventure suitable for all ages. On this tour you'll get the chance to discover river history and folklore, as well as the excitement of white water rafting will provide both fun and learning for the whole family and group of friends. We understand the importance of creating memorable adventure for friends, adults and children to share an unforgettable, fun-filled adventure possible.

Our 2 - 2+ rated river rafting tour on the Vestari Jökulsá, through its towering and magical canyon, is one of our most scenic and fun trips! We start with gearing up all the necessary equipment in our base camp, 10 km from the Varmahlíð village in North Iceland. From our base we only have a 15-minute drive into the Vesturdalur valley where our adventure starts with going over relevant instruction and safety guidelines.

From there we set off, winding our way through the valley's majestic landscapes before drifting deep into the confines of stunning West Glacial River canyon. Between stretches of rapids, you will find yourself sipping steaming hot cocoa made from natural spring water that bubbles right up from the riverbank! You may well have the opportunity to catch some air jumping off a cliff into the river, get caught up in a friendly water fight, or simply kick back and allow the scenery to blow you away as you float down the meandering waters of the gorge.
