Come along on a truly rewarding rafting tour on Vestari Jökulsá river in northern Iceland. Those looking for a fun and exciting journey should not let this opportunity pass them by.
Vestari Jökulsá or 'The West Glacial River' is fed by the mighty Hofsjökull glacier and winds down a relatively flat land, making this excursion perfect for young adventure seekers. The river flows through a stunning canyon and past beautiful valleys, which provide for a scenic journey.
Make your way to the rafting base camp in Hafgrímsstaðir, which is around 110 kilometres from the northern town of Akureyri. There, you will meet your rafting guides and hop aboard a vehicle that will take you to the river.
Before you board your boat, you will be given quick river rafting and safety introductions. You will also be provided with all the safety gear needed for the excursion, such as a helmet and a drysuit, so you will be able to fully enjoy your rafting experience.
Then it is time for your adventure to start! You will board a boat and rush down the river which snakes through a dramatic canyon and past green valleys. You will experience splashing waves and spectacular scenery along the way.
As you travel, you can engage in a friendly water fight with the other boats and even take a dip in this glacial river. Don't worry; your drysuit will keep you warm. After you are back on dry land, you can warm up with hot cocoa, made from natural spring water.
Join this family-friendly rafting tour and experience the beautiful Icelandic nature in an exciting way; by rushing down a glacial river.
