Highlights

This isn’t just another float down a river. It’s Iceland’s best-rated family rafting experience, run by internationally certified pros and powered by top-quality drysuits to keep everyone warm and smiling.


We paddle through a stunning volcanic canyon, sip hot chocolate brewed straight from a riverside hot spring, and even offer optional cliff jumps and glacial swims (if you’re feeling bold).


Whether you're 8 or 80, our low guest-to-guide ratio, legendary crew, and total focus on safety and fun make this the perfect adventure for families, first-timers, and anyone who wants to experience Iceland’s wild side, comfortably.

Itinerary

  • Viking Rafting

    1 hoursAdmission Ticket Included
    Raft one of North Iceland’s most popular adventures for families, beginners, and anyone who wants fun without extreme rapids. This gentle yet exciting trip blends Class II+ whitewater, dramatic volcanic canyon scenery, and warm hospitality. Your journey begins at our rafting base in Hafgrímsstaðir, where you’ll meet guides and gear up in premium drysuits, helmets, neoprene shoes, and gloves. After a short drive to the river, you’ll receive a safety briefing before launching into a 10 km descent through a spectacular canyon of basalt cliffs and steaming hot springs. Along the way, enjoy hot cocoa brewed from a natural geothermal spring, and if conditions allow, try a playful cliff jump or a refreshing swim in glacial waters (always optional). This trip is safe, scenic, and unforgettable. Perfect for kids aged 7+, first-time rafters, and travelers looking to experience family-friendly rafting in Iceland. No experience required, just bring your sense of adventure!
