Iceland, White River Rafting

White River Rafting on Iceland's Hvítá River
This video was recorded on June 3rd, 2017, during a river rating tour in Iceland, organized by Arctic Adventures (this is not a sponsored video).
We were taken to a relatively calm section of the Hvítá River originating from the Langjoküll Glacier. The Gullfoss Waterfall, one of the most popular attractions in Iceland (part of the Golden Circle) is on this river.
The rafting was managed by Arctic Rafting (not sponsored). They provided us with life jackets, helmets, water shoes, wet suits etc. and briefed us on safety and basics. The guides were experienced and funny (in a peculiar Icelandic sense).
River rafting is only one of the many cool activities available in Iceland. This was absolutely one of my favorite trips to-date.
I will be posting more videos soon, including hiking on glaciers, snowmobiling, and the hike culminating inside a volcano. Come back and check it out in the next few days.

Arctic Rafting, is an adventure company based in South Iceland and Reykjavik. Their roots lie in the first adventure company founded here in Iceland, all the way back in 1985 and we have been rafting the same river from the same basecamp all those years...more then 20 year and still going strong! They have a awesome crew of guides, world travellers and talented leaders with a the spark of adventure in their blood.
Through the years they have added activities and adventures to their selection in the most natural way, they are adventurers and attics of the outdoors and like to bring our passion to the workplace!.
With out any doubt they have the largest selection of adventure trips in Iceland, from their great rafting trips to lava caving, trekking and glacier hikes to self-drive super jeep tours, winter expeditions and everything in between. You can be sure to find something extraordinary to do in Iceland with them.
Ævintýrafyrirtækið Arctic Rafting var stofnað árið 1997 og á þeim tólf sumrum sem síðan eru liðin höfum við safnað mikilli reynslu í rekstri ævintýraferða á Suðurlandi. Starfsemi okkar er byggð upp í kringum okkar mikilvægustu auðlindir, íslenska náttúruna og leiðsögumenn okkar. Þeir eru allir í fremstu röð íslenskra ævintýramanna, ferðalangar sem aldrei taka upp úr töskum sínum milli leiðangra og ferðalaga. Þeir kunna sannarlega að skemmta sér og öðrum

White Water River Rafting Tour through the Gullfoss Canyon | Hvita River, Iceland.
We started rafting the Hvítá River (pronounced Kveetau) in the 80's and since those early days, it has been the most popular adventure activity in Iceland. The Hvítá river is a beautiful and fun river a little more than one hour from Reykjavík. The river has a perfectly balanced mix of serene canyons and adrenaline pumping waves and rapids. On our way we pass through the magnificent Brúarhlöð canyon and in that stunning setting participants have the option of jumping from a cliff into the river. Who can resist going glacier river swimming in Iceland?
