Gentle glacial rapids meet family adventure on the Hvítá River. Drift through Brúarhlöður canyon with expert guides, enjoying playful waves perfectly suited for young rafters aged 8 and above.
Begin your journey from Reykjavik and venture to the striking Brúarhlöður canyon, where glacier fed waters from Langjökull carve their way toward the legendary Gullfoss waterfall. This is where your family’s river story begins.
The Hvítá River welcomes young adventurers aged 8 and above with gentle rapids and playful waves, offering a perspective of Iceland that few get to witness. Drift along four kilometres of pristine glacial river, where smooth currents replace the wilder upstream sections, creating the perfect environment for children to discover the joy of rafting.
Your expert guide transforms the journey into an experience of games and laughter, all while ancient canyon walls rise around you. The river becomes a playground where splashing is encouraged and wonder is inevitable.
No previous rafting experience is required. We outfit your family in professional wetsuits, life jackets, neoprene shoes and helmets, ensuring comfort and safety throughout. After your river adventure, a hot sauna and shower await at our base, warming you from the glacial waters.
For adults craving more adventure, the option exists to join the full River Fun Rafting tour upstream before reuniting with family at Brúarhlöð.
Pickup begins at 12:30 from your Reykjavik accommodation. Please allow up to 30 minutes for collection. Small groups of 8 to 10 per boat ensure an intimate experience where every family member feels the river’s embrace.
