FUN ON WEST GLACIAL RIVER

Seeking the perfect combination of fun and relaxation? Join us for a trip down the West Glacial River, where easy-to-moderate difficulty whitewater and stunning scenery combine to provide an unforgettable adventure for anyone from the novice rafter to the whole family.

The trip begins with the check in in our office in Varmahlíð. From here you can take the bus shuttle or your own car 15 km to the base camp, where you will meet your guides and get a brief overview of the day's events. After getting fitted for all necessary equipment, we take you for a 15-minute drive into the Vesturdalur valley and go over relevent instruction and safety guidelines. From there we set off, winding our way through the valley's majestic landscapes before drifting deep into the confines of stunning West Glacial River canyon. Between stretches of rapids, you will find yourself sipping steaming hot cocoa made from natural spring water that bubbles right up from the riverbank! You may well have the opportunity to catch some air jumping off a cliff into the river, get caught up in a friendly water fight, or simply kick back and allow the scenery to blow you away as you float down the meandering waters of the gorge.
