Iceland : Fly, Drive & Hike

This 3-4 hr wild river ride is for experienced white water rafters, or those with a thirst for some serious adventure! The rapids' names tell it all - Screaming Lady, Lost and Green Room. Get an extra adrenaline burst with the chance (conditions permitting) to launch yourself into the river from a eight metre high jumping rock towards the end of the ride. The 'East Glacier River' derives from the icecap Hofsjokull, making for class 4+ white water river. This powerful rush of glacial meltwater takes you through the breathtakingly beautiful Austurdalur valley gorge and is one of the top commercially rafted rivers in Europe. 

Note some previous experience of river rafting or a strong spirit of adventure is recommended. Base Camp at Hafgrimsstadir (Skagafjordur fjord in North Iceland) is approx. 10 km south of the village of Varmahlid.
