Fun rafting trip
Jennifer_A, Jul 2023
Great guides and fun trip down the river. Starts off with some rapids (nothing too intense but fun), then you have the opportunity to jump from a cliff, ending with a nice float trip.

Awesome excursion - River rafting on the Golden Circle - friendly staff and great service. Would recommend this for your family vacation!
Must do family fun!
Theresa_K, Jun 2023
This was perfect for our family. We have two teenage boys who have never done white water rafting. The guide made the kids have a great time. We had a super adventurous guide. This is not for the people who have done multiple white water rafting, as it is not super intense, at all. This is more for the first timer, with small rapids. The view is beautiful and it was just a fun time. Our family had a blast and we would highly recommend this to beginners or those with kiddos. Loved the fact they stopped along the way and let those interested jump off this cliff.
So much fun!

Raving Rafting!!
Janessa_P, Aug 2022
It was such a amazing experience and it was super safe, there is a whole safety talk that is fun and interactive. The whole experience itself was just beautiful with a relaxing sauna and hot tub to really warm you up. Good advice, wear wool, Sherpa, or alpaca, never cotton and bring extra cloths, bathing suit, and warm socks. Safe rafting!
Stunning landscapes, fun river rafting

We had a really good time, the guides were very kind and knowledgeable. The rafting itself was fun! The landscape was just stunning and it was great to see Iceland from a river. Definitely recommend!!
Delightful
Kelli_M, Jul 2022
Wonderful experience for me and my 12 year old. As everyone states, it is not too difficult for kids at all. They provide all gear. Only need bathing suit and wool socks really. The burger and beer at the end were delightful but the hot tub was too small for many to fit. The team working are lovely, capable and fun.
Amazing!
Beatriz, Sep 2021

Nice activity
patricia_C, Aug 2021
Very nice activity! Well organised. Good company. The only remark : no good communication what to wear. Take a bathing suit with you! And a polar pullover.
Great experience
Rebecca_F, Jul 2021
