Canoeing day tour on Hvítá River, right next door to Geysir hot springs in Iceland
Tour difficulty 3+ out of 5 possible. Rated Challenging to Demanding.
Category:
Day trip, available daily from Reykjavik in Iceland.
White water canoeing is the perfect activity if you
are looking for a challenging adventure out in the Icelandic nature. Our canoes
are inflated and selfbailing, meaning that they do not fill with water and are
easy to maneuver in the rapids. Two people sit together in the canoe and steer
it, meanwhile a guide in a kayak or raft makes sure everything is safe and
sound. We paddle down the Hvítá river which has a perfectly balanced mix of
serene canyons and adrenaline pumping waves and rapids. We travel for 7
kilometers and at one point participants get to jump from a cliff into the river. We only recommend
this trip to those looking for action and are in good physical condition.
The RiverRide
is a great action trip, specially for those with some experience in rafting.
