Family River Fun Rafting
A Scenic Adventure at Brúarhlöður Canyon
The Family River Fun Rafting tour starts at the breathtaking Brúarhlöður canyon. The Hvítá River flows from the Langjökull glacier and feeds into the famous Gullfoss waterfall. From Brúarhlöður, the river offers smooth, playful waves in a stunning natural setting. On this family-friendly trip, you raft 4 kilometers through friendly rapids, play fun games, and admire the views from a whole new perspective.
A Tour Designed for Kids
We designed this rafting experience with children in mind, making it safe and fun for younger adventurers. The tour begins a bit further downstream than the main River Fun Rafting trip, where the water runs calmer and more child-friendly. Parents or older family members can choose the full River Fun Rafting tour and meet the group later at Brúarhlöður.
Safety and Equipment
Our guides provide all the necessary gear, including wetsuits for comfort and life jackets for safety. You don’t need previous rafting experience, and the trip suits most ages and abilities. Everyone can join and enjoy a day on the river.
Why Choose Family River Fun Rafting?
Rafting on the Hvítá River gives families one of the best ways to spend a day in Iceland. You’ll laugh, splash, and play together in a safe glacial river environment. No family should leave Iceland without this unforgettable adventure.
