Arctic Rafting is an Icelandic adventure and activity company with an
emphasis on eco tourism and environmentally friendly river trips in the
amazing Icelandic nature. Originally founded in early 1980s we started
rafting on the Hvítá glacier river in South-Iceland and in the late
1990s we started rafting the East and West Jökulsár glacier rivers in
North Iceland. These great rivers have long since become classic
Icelandic adventures, no other activity in Iceland is more popular then
rafting.
But rafting is not our only operation, we are your one stop for day
trips,
activities and adventure during your holiday in Iceland. Our operation
area is Iceland, specifically South Iceland, Reykjavik, Geysir area and
around Gullfoss waterfall. We also operate a number of tours in
Þingvellir
(Thingvellir)
National
Park.
We offer
river rafting (white water rafting, riverrafting) on many
Icelandic rivers, mostly in South Iceland. The main rafting river is
Hvítá (Hvita River) that is very close to Geysir hot
springs and runs from Gullfoss waterfall. We also offer
white water
canoeing and
sea kayaking
close to Reykjavik.
Other popular tours are
snorkeling
and diving in the Silfra ravine in Thingvellir,
hiking to
the hot springs near Hveragerði and Reykjavik.
Glacier
hiking with
optional ice climbing is also a very cool tour on the glacier named
Sólheimajökull (Solheimajokull glacier). These glacier trips are an
excellent way to explore the rugged Icelandic glaciers and nature.
Caving
in Iceland with us is also a superb way to explore the unseen lava
caves and tubes.
In addition to all this we run an array of
incentive
trips and
teambuilding activities in Iceland, Reykjavik, The Golden Circle and
anywhere you can think of in Iceland. Customized ski trips, snowboard
trips, hiking trips, trekking, kayaking, diving, rafting, climbing and
alpine trips can be arranged.
