Ragnheiður (Ragga) is our person behind the scenes. She makes sure that the administrative machine is unclogged and adequately oiled, and if there are fires to be put out, you will find her holding the fire extinguisher. A published poet and writer, she is also our wordsmith when necessary. Ragga has been part of the Viking Rafting family since 2014 when she and Anup met at the Ganga Kayak Festival in India.

You won’t find this owner glued to his office chair: expect to see Anup behind the lens of a camera capturing the daily action from his kayak, or barking commands from the back of the raft. His time spent exploring Iceland’s abundant whitewater makes him a valuable resource for the new guides looking to get the most out their time here.

When Chris joined forces with Anup to start Viking Rafting, he had the goal to create the best possible environment for both rafters and guides to thrive each and everyday. Chris is currently pursuing a medical career in British Columbia , and will be joining the team for as much time as he can spare.

Mirto has been with us five summers and five winters, this is the reason you will never see him wearing gloves on the river. Not always easy to spot, he is most likely racing with his kayak and camera down the river, ready to capture your smiles.

Mark is one of our veteran guide, rescue instructor and fire fighter. Few hours after he touched Icelandic ground in 2007, he made it to the national news with his fellow kayaker Anup. His dad's jokes combined with his English humor will make you smile on every rafting trip.

Roshan, like most of us, spent most of his life in the water. His skills on the river are unquestionable, but you can also spot him high in the sky with his paraglide or riding some steep hills on his bike.
You might be lucky enough to taste his delicious cuisine after your rafting trip.

Tarjan was a team member of the first rafting team to represent Nepal in the World Rafting Championship in 2017 in Japan. We hope you enjoy your time with this impressive young man as much as we do.

This is the fourth season for Tarjan with Viking Rafting, and surely not the last!

This is Benji's second season at Viking Rafting. Since the very first moment he walked through our door last year, he brought smiles and a big sense of humor in the team. Every rafting company needs a "Benji": highly skilled, positive and hungry for action. In his free time, he loves to be outside gardening.

Named after Ganesh, the God of Good Luck and the Dispeller of problems, "Hunter" will never stop smiling, even when he flips a raft and ends up underwater. If you don't want to be pushed off-board, make sure you smile with him! 

The story of Pablo joining the Viking team is probably one of the most unique.
He first showed up at our rafting base as a client in 2021, and went kayaking on the East Glacial River.
From the beginning, he felt part of the big Viking Rafting Family, and we were more than happy to welcome here such a funny, hard-worker and caring personality.

A.K.A. "The Man behind the Mullet, A.K.A. "The Swiss Machine", we are sure this multi-talented man will be part of our team for a long time!

Lucas joined the team in 2023, after applying multiple times. We are happy to welcome his warm and kind personality in the team! When he first arrived in Iceland, the temperatures were very different from what he's used to in Chile, but he is already daring to flip and swim in the cold Icelandic waters!

Kolur has been with us since 2016, when Mirto joined Viking Rafting.

He will always run outside to welcome every single car parking at the rafting base.
Loved by everyone, he will never miss a ride to the river and don't be surprised if he will ask you to play with a small wooden stick for hours.

His tasks in our operations include: guarding the compost, cuddle with guides and customers, clear the road from sheep and horses, and clean the floor after each meal!
