Excursion River rafting in skagafj tour at Akureyri

The River rafting trip starts and end from the onsite boathouse. The friendly and professional guides will provide you with all of the equipment needed for tackling the famous glacial rivers. You will be provided with wetsuits, dry tops, helmets, buoyancy aids /life jackets and rafting booties. All you need to bring is your swimsuit, a warm long sleeve fleece and a towel. Optional extras are a sense of humour and adventure!

We will then take a 20 minute drive towards the West Glacial river. At the rafting your trip leader will give a full safety brief. You will then be divided into crews and assigned a boat and your guide. Once on the river we will enter the canyon with its high walls and amazing geology. Along the way we may stop for a unique hot chocolate and for those who are brave and excited there is an option to do some cliff jumping. The bus will be waiting at the takeout for the short drive back to the base where the hot pools await.

Upon return you will enjoy a lunch box while we head back to Akureyri.
