Description

Feel the thrill of gushing water from one of Iceland’s most famous glacier rivers in this small-group family rafting tour from Fludir. This four-hour adventure is perfect for families and friends who wish to experience water rafting powered by the Hvita river and get closer to nature.

The action begins when a qualified and professional raft guide meets you at the rafting base in Fludir. They will brief you on the basics of river rafting and discuss important safety tips and reminders to help ensure a fun time with your family.

You’ll also be given Dry Suits that keep you 90% dry throughout the rafting adventure. A helmet, shoes, and a life jacket will also be provided. The great thing about this adventure is that it doesn’t require any rafting experience. Children at least seven years of age can already join this family rafting tour at the Bruarhlod anyon in West Iceland.

The Bruarhlod canyon is near the famed Golden Circle route. The Hvita river with its powerful current, is one of the main factors that shaped the canyon’s appearance today. Moreover, the vibrant hue of the water, caused by glacial meltwater carrying sediment, contrasts beautifully with the dark volcanic rocks, creating an unforgettable sight.

After wearing all the necessary rafting gear, the guide will take you from the rafting base to the rafting area in Bruarhlod canyon. You’ll first sail past some of the biggest rapids in the area. Since the tour is all ability levels, the guide will take you where the waters of the Hvita river are manageable.

As you begin the water rafting adventure, you’ll notice the waters of the Hvita river flowing rapidly. As you ride the rapids, your guide will teach you how to move your paddle correctly. You’ll then navigate through the canyon and gorges, surrounded by stunning scenery.

Some natural wonders you’ll see include sheer cliffs and volcanic rock formations. One of the more notable sights of the Bruarhlod canyon is the Breccias, or stone pillars that protrude out of the water. 

As you twist around the rock formations, you’ll feel the rush of the rapids and the spray of the water, adding excitement to this short but unforgettable escapade. After conquering the rapids of the Bruarhlod canyon, you’ll take the bus ride back to the rafting base in Fludir.

Don’t miss this chance to experience the adrenaline rush of the Hvita river in this thrilling four-hour small-group family rafting tour. Check availability now by choosing a date.
