Whitewater Action

The East Glacial River (grade IV+)

Exciting rapids, mind-blowing scenery, and one of the most remote single-day settings on the planet make the East Glacial River Iceland's signature rafting trip!

BOOK THE ACTION

Family Rafting

The West Glacial River (grade II+)

The West Glacial River is home to gentle rapids, spectacular canyon scenery, and natural riverside hot springs, making it the perfect playground for vikings of all ages!

BOOK THE FUN

Midnight Rafting

The East Glacial River (grade IV+)

This is a midnight version of our already kick-ass Whitewater Action trip! We run a special on the longest Friday of the year to celebrate the endless arctic summer sun, just because we can!

BOOK THE ADVENTURE

Best rafting experience ever with Vikings!!!

It was one of the best experiences in my life!!! Also Viking Rafting team are amazing professionals, with a lot of good energy, positive vibes and super awesome humor! Just because of them it is worth to go for this experience! And then of course all the adrenaline, amazing river, beautiful views and a lot of laughter!!! I totally recommend to go rafting with Vikings!!!!! :)

Amazing experience! Very recommend

One of the best experiences of my life, definitely worth the money. At first i thought the price was a bit steep, but i got what i expected for the money and so much more! There where 4 kayak following our boat just for safety. The instructors where very friendly and fun. I really recommend!

Button
Highly recommend!!!

It was absolutely AMAZING experience!
The staff was very professional, they explained everything and made sure we understood.
We felt very safe with all the instructors that were with us for the whole time. The vibe was super fun and we finished the rafting with a lot of great memories. Highly recommend!!!
