River Rafting Tour in North-Iceland | West Glacial River

Once there, you will be given all the equipment needed to keep you warm and safe on your journey. You will also receive a safety briefing where you’ll get to practice how to manoeuvre the craft before you board your boat.  Vestari-Jökulsá, or West Glacial River, originates in Iceland’s third largest glacier, Hofsjökull, and is one of the many rivulets that join and fall to the North.

You will then paddle along the white river between enormous rock gorges covered in luscious green flora. The village of Varmahlíð and its surroundings are a well known geothermal area, so you should keep an eye out for a line of steaming hot springs on the river bank as you move along the stream’s gentle pace. Along the way, you will make a stop where the daredevils in the group can pump up their adrenaline by jumping off a cliff into the river. To warm you up, you will also be given a hot chocolate to enjoy while surrounded by the breathtaking scenery. After the tour, you’ll board the bus and head back to Varmahlíð where you can spend some time relaxing and unwinding after a day out on the river, in energising geothermal hot pools.  Book this family-friendly tour now and spend the day enjoying the beautiful Icelandic nature in an entirely different way.

9-Hour Day Tour to Seljalandsfoss & Thorsmork Valley

Step right up for this tour of one of the most beautiful, untouched wilds of Iceland, the valley of Þórsmörk. Your tour guides will pick you up in a comfortable Super Jeep in the morning and take you to this popular hiker’s retreat, on a perfect day tour in the land of ice and fire. The first stop of the day will bring you to Seljalandsfoss, a gorgeous waterfall nestled in the cliffs of rolling farmland, nourished by the river which meanders away from the falls. At 60 m (131 ft) high, it is one of the tallest waterfalls in Iceland, and it is a particularly unique spot because you can take the rocky path which winds behind the falls. It is a new perspective to look out on the green-and-black terrain of Iceland through the curtain of clear, misty water. You’ll also pause at Gígjökull, a glacial tongue of Eyjafjallajökull, the glacier which made headlines in 2010 with its colossal eruption. It lies draped over the mountainous outcroppings of the valley like a fluffy white blanket. Then, you’ll go to Stakkholtsgjá, a canyon located near the entrance to Þórsmörk valley. It has a narrow riverbed and ends in a beautiful waterfall. Finally, after driving over several deep, swift glacial rivers, you’ll enter the Þórsmörk area. This rift valley, named after the Norse god of thunder and rain, Thor, is located in southern Iceland between two glaciers, Tindfjallajökull and Eyjafjallajökull. There are many trails to explore here, from those that cross the glaciers to multi-day hiking trails such as Laugavegur, which takes hikers all the way to Landmannalaugar in southwest Iceland. Here, you’ll have time to take in the gorgeous surroundings as you hike in the area, with stops available at the visitor’s huts at Básar and Húsadalur. These huts are airy and well-kept, providing a charming spot to stop and chat with other hikers you meet along the way. After a refreshing walk around the countryside, you’ll be driven back to the city in time to have dinner, a few drinks and maybe catch a show. Don't miss this invigorating day trip to the beautiful valley of Þórsmörk. Check availability by choosing a date.

Mountain Bike Tour to Botnsvatn Lake | Departure from Husavik

Come along on this fantastic mountain bike tour where you'll ride through the beautiful Icelandic scenery and get a unique view over Skjálfandi Bay and the stunning Kinnarfjöll Mountains. Discover the gems hidden outside of Húsavík town, such as Lake Botnsvatn, and ride on both gravel and dirt paths which were either made by man or by Icelandic free-roaming sheep.  This exciting mountain bike tour is the perfect opportunity for those travelling to North Iceland as you will start the trip in the town of Húsavík. You will meet your guides right above Húsavík harbour and receive your bike and your helmet.  After mounting your bike, you will ride through the town centre, towards the beautiful Skrúðgarður park. You will cycle through the park, along the river Búðará and up towards a small, green ravine where you will find a little pond frequently visited by ducks. From there, you will travel up the gully, along the river on a dirt trail, through heaths and low-grown scrub until you reach the stunning Botnsvatn lake. Now it is time to start the trip around the lake. Low-grown heather and prominent blue lupine surround the lake, and you will make your way along an old forestry grove. In all kinds of weather and during every season the colourful scenery around lake Botnsvatn is fascinating. Here you will ride on old and narrow sheep paths which have, in the past years, been well adjusted to hiking and biking. The tracks can, at parts, be technical for mountain bike beginners but your guide will help you through it if you are a novice cyclist. At the far end of the lake, you'll make a stop to rest and take a few photos before making your way back, this time you'll cycle along the north side of the lake where you will go over a landslide and a somewhat technical path. Just remember that it is always possible to step off the bike and push it if you are new to mountain biking or have little or no experience in riding over landslides.  This particular landslide is not long, however, and following is a rather easy track, which you will follow until you reach the path you rode on the way up to the lake. This time, you are making your way downhill and so the route will not only be easier but also more fun. You will make a turn to the other side of Búðará river where you can follow a trail with lots of stair steps. From there, you will ride through the forest and skiing slopes above Húsavík where you can choose to head straight through the woods or go down some technical stair steps in the forest. Then you will make your way back on the streets of Húsavík town where you will bid farewell to your guides. Lace up your shoes, put on a helmet and join this fantastic tour now!

Frequently Asked Questions

About River Tours in Iceland

Due to Iceland's wealth of glaciers and a steady supply of rain- and snowfall, the country is blessed with multiple great river systems which sustain all life on this volcanic island. River tours allow you to intimately explore and experience the mesmerising rivers of Iceland through rafting and super jeep excursions.

1. What rivers in Iceland are best for rafting?

Hvítá river is the most rafted river in West Iceland and best suited for beginners. In North Iceland, the Jökulsá river system is widely considered the best. The most challenging river, however, is Austari-Jökulsá (also known as ‘the Beast of the East’) in northeast Iceland.

2. What type of rapids can I expect in Icelandic rivers?

Iceland’s rafting rivers are graded between 2 and 4+. There are no graded 5 rafting rivers in Iceland. Hvítá, which is relatively close to Reykjavík, is graded between 2 and 3, whereas Austari-Jökulsá, in northeast Iceland, is graded 4+ and has a minimum age requirement of 18 years.

3. What should I wear on a rafting tour?

Although you will be provided with a dry suit, you will get wet. So be sure to wear warm inner layers such as fleece, wool or synthetic materials, but not cotton or denim. Wear warm socks and bring a change of clothes to put on after the tour.

4. Is rafting in Iceland dangerous?

Rafting tours are led by rafting experts who know the rivers well. Guests wear helmets, dry suits and life jackets, and the rapids on beginner rivers are not too fierce. Rafting in Iceland is, therefore, a relatively safe activity. It should be noted, however, that all adventure activities are intrinsically risky, and are undertaken at your own peril.

5. How many people are on a single boat during a rafting tour?

The maximum number of people on any boat will be thirteen, including your guide.

6. Can children go on river rafting tours?

On Vestari-Jökulsá river, six-year-old children can go rafting. On Hvítá river, the age limit is eleven years.

7. What is a glacier river?

A glacier river is a river that is primarily fed from glacial meltwater.

8. Can I fish in Icelandic rivers?

You need a fishing license to fish in Icelandic rivers. We recommend participating in a fishing tour to save you the trouble of obtaining the license. Contact your tour planner for more information.

9. Is it safe to drink water directly from Icelandic rivers?

Glacier rivers most often contain sand and other sediments which render the water unsuitable for drinking. It is not recommended that you to drink from any river or stream unless a local guide confirms that the water is clean.

10. Are there any dangerous animals in Icelandic rivers?

No, you will not find any animals that pose serious threats to humans in rivers in Iceland.

It was the best trip i’ve ever taken. Everything was conveniently organized and arranged. The agent assigned to us responded quickly to every question we had and was very accommodating with our requests. This tour is well recommended if you do not have the time to plan your trip to Iceland. I just wished we were informed on how to gas up the car rental. Most of our credit/debit cards were not accepted after multiple attempts at the gas station. Other than that, it was a really great trip!

We had a great time on our trip! Guide to Iceland made planning a really elaborate vacation almost shockingly easy. The daily activities were all coordinated perfectly, all were unlike anything we'd ever done before, and every guide was a fantastic host. The timing and duration of each activity allowed us time to explore independently, and the Guide to Iceland packet detailing points of interest in the vicinity of each trip location was invaluable in directing us to beautiful places that we otherwise might have missed. Accommodations were a great blend of country and city (town) locations. All were clean, everyone was friendly, and other travelers seemed to be having a great time too. We'd love to visit during a different season, and would definitely choose to book through Guide to Iceland again.

6 Day Winter Trip In Iceland | From Reykjavik to the Ice Cave

I wanted to visit Iceland for years and finally went mid February 2019. I had a checklist of things I wanted to do and see, but did not have the time to book each tour independently and organize it all myself. Therefore I did not hesitate to book the 6 day Guide to Iceland winter tour as it had the majority of the items on my checklist and in the exact number of days I had planned for the trip. It ended up being the best idea because everything was planned and scheduled for me. All I had to do was ensure I was on time for the bus pickup. The staff was attentive and answered all my questions. The snowmobiling activity I opted for was cancelled due to weather (bummer!!) and I had no issues receiving a timely refund. All the other activities (NL tour, ice cave, peninsula, southern shore, golden circle) were always on schedule and with good tour guides. I was super glad that I did not rent a car because the winter weather/road conditions would have been super stressful as a solo tourist. Iceland is beautiful and I would not hesitate going back and using Guide to Iceland again. The landscape is amazing. The Northern Lights were spectacular. I was lucky enough to see them three nights in a row. I did book the boat tour as I knew I would have land options throughout the rest of the trip and am glad I did so because the show we got on the night of my boat tour was beyond spectacular. The hotels were meh, but that could have just been that I selected "comfort" level so I cannot fault them for this. Other than that, I am super happy with my trip and highly recommend visiting Iceland and using Guide to Iceland to book your visit!

7 Day Northern Lights Self Drive Tour | Destination Ice Cave

FANTASTIC! Iceland blessed us with amazing weather and Guide to Iceland blessed us with a beautiful, unforgettable, and breathtaking tour. Everything from start to finish was extremely clear and easy to follow. The layout of the trip was perfect for what we needed and wanted. Our itinerary gave us a really perfect picture of each area we could see while we were there. Every hotel we stayed at was nice and clean. Each provided their own bit of charm. Fosshótel Stykkishólmur was wonderful, the town was super quaint and charming, and the concierge was extremely helpful, he let us know what roads were going to be tricky before we headed out. At our stay at Litli Geysir they provided a delicious dinner AND woke us up because the Northern Lights were visible (something they asked us if we would like when we checked in)!! We had a glacier hike with wonderful guides on a gorgeous day, and even were able to explore for a long while in the area. The GPS was the perfect navigator, taking coordinates allowed us to visit places we had researched that were off the beaten path. Our ice cave adventure was entertaining from start to finish!! The car rental place was super accommodating and wonderful! Guide to Iceland was incredible when our plans fell through and booked us into accommodation quickly and easily. Overall, this trip was well worth it and would highly recommend to anyone visiting Iceland (and already have!) It is pricey but if you're savvy with using grocery stores along the way. Also we got turned around several times when we were on the Northern leg of our tour and were not passable. 5 stars!

6 Day Winter Trip In Iceland | From Reykjavik to the Ice Cave

My friends and I went on the 6 Day Winter Tour. We had an absolutely wonderful time! It was so well planned out; all we had to do was make sure we got on the correct tour buses! It was so nice to relax and not have to worry about navigating and planning our next moves, especially in the winter. Every time we saw a rental car off the road while traveling in the tour bus, we were especially glad that we booked a tour. We felt like we got our money’s worth from the trip, and greatly enjoyed our chosen activities which included northern lights hunting, snowmobiling, soaking in the Blue Lagoon, taking an ice cave tour, and exploring a peninsula. Also, our tour guide, Anna, was professional and helped us set up other activities we wanted to do in Reykjavík. We would definitely book another tour with Guide to Iceland!
