River rafting on the Hólmsá river near Vík í Mýrdal
River difficulty 4+ out of 5 possible.
Category: Daytrip, available directly from Reykjavik
in Iceland.
Rafting
on Hólmsá River is an action packed rafting trip and is ideal for those
who are looking for adrenaline! All the fun and action a river can
possibly hold are in this case jammed together into one river. Huge
waves, giant holes and mini waterfalls are on the menu for RiverAction.
We
bypass a beautiful waterfall on our way and see the spring water of
Hólmsá River fuse with the brown glacial water of Leirá River. The
natural surroundings are quite interesting; everything from barren lava
to green pastures and woods.
The Hólmsá River was shortlisted for the Rafting
World Championship so we can guarantee that this is the real deal.
This trip is just for those that have rafted before!
