What to expect

This is like your favorite Disney World ride but without a seat belt! And just like that ride, you don't need any previous rafting experience to discover for yourself why the East Glacial River has become Iceland's signature whitewater rafting trip. The reason your guides are experienced professionals is so that you don't have to be, but if you're scared of getting wet and don't enjoy the excitement, this is definitely not the trip for you.

The East Glacial River gorge (Jökulsá-Austari) is the setting for the most action-packed and exciting rafting day-tour. With spectacular deep canyon scenery and relentless heart-pumping whitewater, the East has been consistently rated one of Europe’s best rafting rivers and topped popular guide books’ lists of "must-do's" in Iceland. One of the most remote single-day rafting trips on the planet, this whitewater adventure delivers an unforgettable journey into the untamed beauty of Iceland’s river wilderness and a dose of adrenaline strong enough to satisfy the most powerful of cravings. For those traveling Iceland with a thirst for adventure, this is a day tour not to be missed!
