Located around 90 minutes from Reykjavík, Hvítá offers an excellent combination of adventure and scenery. The river is rated Class II, making this a fun and accessible rafting experience for adventurous beginners as well as those who have rafted before.

Raft the Hvítá River

Between the splashes and excitement, take time to enjoy the impressive natural surroundings as the river carries you through the landscape.

Discover Brúarhlöð Canyon

One of the highlights of the journey is Brúarhlöð canyon, where striking rock formations rise around the glacial river.

The combination of rushing water, rugged canyon scenery and playful rapids makes this one of the most memorable ways to experience Icelandic nature during a Golden Circle adventure.

No previous rafting experience is required, although participants should be comfortable floating in water.

After approximately three hours of adventure, return to Drumbó River Base and warm up with access to the sauna, hot tubs and shower facilities.
