Testimonials

From Chris

All,

Just a quick email to say thank you so much for your help in organising the trip to Iceland. It was, not to put to fine a point on it, SPECTACULAR. Everything that could have happened did – a mountain rescue, an amazing hotel, a meal of whale meat and puffin at Lækjarbrekka, cocktail fun at Orange and a light poaching at the Blue Lagoon. And to round it all off: an Icelandic psychic on the plane home who gave everyone “dream pebbles”. Seriously. The whole thing still feels faintly surreal and dream-like, to be honest.

But the best bit? The dive. Was just utterly, utterly incredible. Not that you can tell from these pics, but this is me but this is me at Þingvellir - 40m down in glacial water with 100m visibility:

It was one of the highlights of my life. Seriously. Genuinely awe-inspiringly beautiful. Hedinn was a superb dive master, and gave me all the help and encouragement I needed. And with the our great jeep story as well (thanks to our guide Ragi – a really great guy), I think it’s going to make a great piece.

So thank you so much for your help organising it – everything worked like clockwork, and we both had an amazing time. I’ll be in touch nearer the time when we start laying out the feature, but until then, thanks again..

Whitewater Rafting in South & North Iceland

Welcome to the world's northern river rafting capital! Despite a secretive history of hidden whitewater treasures, Iceland has made a poweful emergence onto the global rafting stage in recent years, and continues to gain notoriety for its abundance of wild and beautiful whitewater. Today, as the local rafting industry continues to expand its horizons, Iceland's reputation now boasts some of the greatest single-day and multi-day rafting trips in the world. The first rafting descents in 1983 marked the birth of a powerful era of adventure tourism, and Arctic Adventures has since grown to be Iceland's largest, longest-running, and most trusted rafting company. Today, we proudly offer a selection of unique and exceptional rafting trips all over north and south Iceland, varying widely in difficulty and length to suit everyone from experienced river junkies to families and first-timers! Check out our most popular trips below!
