White water canoeing day tour on Hvítá River, available directly from Reykjavík city.
River difficulty 3+ out of 5 possible
White water canoeing is the perfect activity if you are looking for a challenging and fun adventure out in the Icelandic nature. The canoes are inflated and self bailing, meaning that they do not fill with water and are easy to maneuver. Two or three people sit together in the canoe and paddle it down the river under the watchful eye of a guide in a raft. We paddle down Hvítá river which has a perfectly balanced mix of serene canyons and adrenaline pumping waves and rapids. We travel for 7 kilometers and at one point participants get to jump from a cliff into the river.
We only recommend this trip to those looking for action and are in good physical condition.
The River Ride is a great action trip, specially for those with some experience in rafting.
