Family Rafting with the locals
Embark on an adrenaline fueled adventure and cascade down one of Iceland’s glacial Rivers.
Overview
Experience the ultimate family adventure with a locally owned rafting tour designed for all ages. We launch from the same point as our professional whitewater trips but bypass the most intimidating rapids, ensuring a safe yet exciting experience that balances fun with the natural beauty of the river.
The journey takes you deep into the heart of Brúarhlöð Canyon, a stunning natural wonder only accessible by boat. During the tour, daredevils can test their nerves with cliff-jumping, while the rest of the family enjoys interactive games and light, splashy rapids. It is a rare opportunity to experience one of the world's most beautiful landscapes from a unique perspective.
To ensure your comfort, we are one of the few companies globally to provide high-quality dry suits, keeping you 90% dry and warm throughout the trip. We also provide all necessary safety equipment, including life jackets, helmets, and river shoes. Join us for a professional, locally guided adventure that prioritizes your family’s safety and enjoyment.

I have gone rafting in many places around the world and these guys were the absolute best. They are an intentionally small team so that they can treat all of their customers as friends. I cannot put into words how great they are as guides and worth spending a little bit more - world class experience. Also - they use dry suits which make the experience way better. These guys are great 👍🏻👍🏻
My father and I went on this rafting tour and had an absolutely fantastic time! The scenery was breathtaking, and the whole experience was incredibly well organized from start to finish.
We were lucky to have two amazing guides who were not only super professional and knowledgeable but also incredibly fun and friendly. They made sure everyone felt safe and comfortable, while also keeping the energy high and the experience exciting.
I’ve rafted/paddled across Colorado and Cali but seeing Iceland’s landscape and paddling fun pristine, drinkable glacier water was a once-in-a-lifetime experience! Manni and Hjálmur were the best and the coolest people we met during our trip. They even made reservations for us at a local, amazing restaurant for afterwards. Would absolutely recommend!
One of the absolute highlights of our trip. My partner and I did white water rafting and our guide was fantastic. The day included cliff jumping and playing through the rapids. Manni was super personable and even gave us chocolate at the end! We honestly loved it and couldn’t recommend it enough, it was great going with a smaller more local business as they knew the rapids well which meant they could challenge us to do some runs independently!
I met Manni the day before, mid-tour with another family. We happened to be at their stopping point when Manni playfully said, “Call me and we’ll book something for you tomorrow!” And he absolutely delivered. We ended up on an incredible private white water rafting tour with Hjalli and Manni. They prioritized safety while making the experience fun, thrilling, and truly unforgettable.
