We booked with Allrahanda - Iceland Excursions and really enjoyed our River Fun afternoon! It's an easy river; the rapids are not intense, so this is not the trip for you if you're looking for level 4 or 5 rapids. If you want a fun and easy trip down a river with absolutely beautiful views, then here you go. We... More

Tour led by arctic adventures. All attire provided and facilities spotless. Although only class 2 the guides filled the time with stories and games for all within guaranteed to get you wet or dunked in the river. Afterwards is a healthy lunch and sauna and hot tub! Very fond memories - More

We went with Arctic Adventures. Unfortunately, we had timed our rafting activity with the week when about 500 Icelandic school children were doing it too as their graduation trip. The company were therefore a bit overwhelmed and completely forgot to pick us up on the day we had booked, so we had to wait until the next day to do... More
