This is our all time bestseller! The Hvítá river is a beautiful and fun
river about an hour from Reykjavík. For more than 20 years the RiverFun
rafting trip has been Iceland´s most popular adventure activity. With a
perfectly balanced mix of serene canyons and adrenaline pumping waves
and rapids, rafting the Hvítá (pronounced: Kveetau) is guaranteed to
leave you with fond memories. We raft a seven kilometer stretch of the
river and in Brúarhlöð canyon the rafters get to jump from a cliff into
the river.
No one should leave Iceland with out experiencing the power that its
rivers contain and lay eyes on the scenic canyons of Brúarhlöð in Hvítá.
Not to mention going glacial river swimming in Iceland!!
