This is a midnight version of our already kick-ass Whitewater Action trip! We run a special trip on the longest Friday of the year to celebrate the endless arctic summer sun, just because we can! This trip usually sells out, so be sure to book here if you're interested in being a part of this year's celebration.


This summer, we have taken the Midnight Sun Whitewater Festival to the next level and beyond! The program for this action-packed summer solstice weekend includes all the favourite events and activities from previous years, and of course the Annual FIRE & ICE CREEK RACE, Iceland's first-ever Red Bull sponsored international kayaking. With competition prizes, a lineup of live music,  camping, good food and drink, and a gathering of great people, we hope to see you at Iceland's one and only outdoor adventure festival! As usual, the festivities kick off on Friday evening in true adventurous style with an overnight rafting trip down the legendary canyon section of Jökulsá-Austari (East Glacial River) where we take on all the same world-class rapids and stunning scenery that most only get to do by day.

WE PROVIDE:


- All Rafting equipment: Drysuit, PFD, helmet, booties, gloves.


- Qualified, professional IRF raft guides and safety kayakers.


- Transportation between our rafting base and the river.


- Riverside refreshments.


- Iceland's ultimate rafting experience!



YOU BRING:


- Thermal underwear / base layers


- Warm fleece top / wool sweater


- Fleece pants / extra long johns


- Thick wool socks / hiking socks (at least 1 pair)


- Dry clothes for after the river


- Any necessary medications (asthma inhalers, etc.)







The first thing you need to know about your rafting trip is that you are probably going to get wet, so don't be too surprised! The second thing is that there is nothing tropical about Iceland, and even though you are on summer vacation, your speedos will do you no good here. All of our rafting trips run on glacial rivers, which means that the water we paddle in is recently melted ice. As the environment and the elements we face are unpredictable (often cold and always wet) overexposure will not only leave you shivering and miserable, but it can easily become a serious safety concern if you manage to sneak in unprepared. It is your responsibility as participants (yes, you!) to arrive for your rafting trip with adequate warm clothing. Be prepared to get wet! All clothing worn on the river should be of a material that keeps its insulating ability when wet. We highly recommend fleece, wool, and synthetic materials. DO NOT WEAR COTTON, so NOT your jeans and favourite hoodie!
