This is our all time BESTSELLER! The Hvítá river is a beautiful and fun river located a little more than an hour´s drive from Reykjavík. For more than 20 years the River Fun rafting trip has been Iceland´s most popular adventure activity, both for locals and visitors. 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 half way, 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! Can´t beat the feeling.
It´s possible to combine our River Fun trip with a great variety of of other exciting activities to make the most of your day.
