RiverRide

Canoeing on Hvita River

Tour difficulty 3+ out of 5 possible

If you are looking for a new challenging adventure in the Icelandic nature, white water canoeing is the perfect activity. Our canoes are inflated and selfbailing, meaning that they do not fill with water and are easy to maneuver in the rapids. There are two persons per canoe but the guide will be in a kayak or a raft to make sure everything is safe. We paddle down the Hvita river which has adrenaline pumping waves and rapids and a balanced mix of serene canyons and adrenaline pumping waves and rapids. We go down the river about 7 kilometers and at one place everyone has the oppertunity to jump from a cliff into the river. This trip is only reccommended for those looking for action and are in good physical condition.

The RiverRide is a great action trip, specially for those with some experience in rafting.
