About Arctic Rafting
We started rafting in Iceland in the year 1983 and has since then grown to be the biggest rafting and adventure operation in Iceland.
Our home rivers are the Hvítá river on the Golden Circle in South Iceland and the East and West Glacier Rivers in North Iceland. Our South Iceland base camp is located only 10 minutes from the Geysir hot springs and Gullfoss waterfall and we offer a daily pick up service from Reykjavík City. Our North Iceland base camp in located about 15 minutes from the small town of Varmahlíð, about 300 km from Reykjavík and about 90 km from Akureyri. We also offer daily pick up from both towns and a variety of packages which include accommodation and more activities.
Our selection of river rafting tours in Iceland is big and in it you will find all levels of tours, surely we have just the thing for you!
