Depart Sauðárkrókur for a scenic drive headed towards Bakkaflöt.
Enjoy a trip through the magnificent West Glacial canyon. This trip is ideal for those who want to enjoy a relaxing trip and take in some breathtaking scenery. The West Glacial River is classed 2-3.
The River rafting trip starts and end from the onsite boathouse. The friendly and professional guides will provide you with all of the equipment needed for tackling the famous glacial rivers. You will be provided with wetsuits, dry tops, helmets, buoyancy aids /life jackets and rafting booties. All you need to bring is your swimsuit, a warm long sleeve fleece and a towel. Optional extras are a sense of humour and adventure!
We will then take a 20 minute drive towards the West Glacial river. At the rafting your trip leader will give a full safety brief. You will then be divided into crews and assigned a boat and your guide. Once on the river we will enter the canyon with its high walls and amazing geology. Along the way we may stop for a unique hot chocolate and for a spot of cliff jumping for the brave ones. The bus will be waiting at the takeout for the short drive back to the base where the hot pools await. Upon return you will be able to enjoy some warm traditional Icelandic meat soup and homemade bread.
Please Note:
