About Whitewater Rafting in Iceland
Welcome to the northernmost rafting capital on Earth! Despite a long local history of river exploration and adventure, Iceland has forever remained one of the world's best kept whitewater secrets. No longer! Its powerful emergence onto the world whitewater map in recent years has been met with an explosion of recognition and respect. Today, the river rafting scene in Iceland continues to be explored with bounding enthusiasm by visitors and locals alike, and Iceland now confidently boasts rafting trips that rank alongside the greatest in the world. Since the first raft descents in 1983, Arctic Rafting has emerged as Iceland's whitewater authority, and has since expanded its operations to the rivers of both north and south Iceland. We offer a multitude of trips that vary in length, difficulty, scenery, and accessibility: from convenient half-day family rafting trips out of Reykjavík to exhilarating multi-day whitewater expeditions through the remote wilderness of Iceland's rugged interior.
SOUTH ICELAND. Our South operation is located right on the Golden Circle, and offers convenient day tours from Reykjavík with a selection of sightseeing and adventure combo trips and a door-to-door shuttle service.
NORTH ICELAND. Our North operation lies in the heart of Iceland's best whitewater, on the doorstep of the country's most exciting rivers. We offer single-day and multi-day adventure packages with a variety of transport and accommodation options.
