Outstanding Experience
My wife and I had different yet extremely unforgettable and awesome experience. She is not very fond of rivers let alone rafting. Prabhot, our guide, made her feel comfortable and provided the thrill I needed through games. He is also great story teller from Nepal. I was able to jump off a 15-foot cliff (optional) into the river and jump off the raft swimming parallel to the raft while my wife sat comfortable enjoying the river speed from the raft. Prabhot made the experience fun for everyone on the raft and provided safety instructions throughout the ride. After the exhilarating river experience, we had a hot shower (separate showers for men and women) and a sauna. Ravi, one of other guides aka #HaldiramKayakers, gave us company and we quickly became friends. Awesome experience overall, gave me my much needed adrenaline and provided a safe river rafting experience for my wife. The guides provide gear and safety instructions. Advice: Bring wool socks, synthetic clothing (spandex shorts, speedos) that way you won't feel wet throughout the time. Don't wear cotton. They will provide gear that will keep you warm.

This river rafting tour in Gullfoss Canyon is the ultimate summer adventure in Iceland. Carved by the glacier-fed Hvita River, Gulfos Canyon is sheltered by rugged 230-ft (70-m) walls, hosting moss-covered plateaus just above them. Our riveting adventure begins at Gullfoss Waterfall, also known as the Golden Falls, and ends in Bruarhlod Canyon.
Gullfoss Waterfall is paramount to Iceland. Travelers from all over the world come to marvel at this wonder of nature and now, you too have the chance to experience the majestic waterfall from up close.
Before you set foot on the rafts, our experienced and certified guides will quickly brief you on essential safety procedures. Adventurers with little or no rafting experience are welcome, however, everyone on the tour must know how to swim. Afterward, we’ll all be handed a wetsuit and a life vest, and be seated on to the raft. Everyone on the raft gets a paddle and is encouraged to help our guide steer the raft during the tour.
The journey down the Hvita River will be an exhilarating experience. Glacial meltwaters from Langjokull Glacier are fiercely fast at times, rushing through peaking bumpy rocks and creating small yet powerful rapids. On top of adrenaline-filled moments, you’ll be invited to enjoy serene and otherworldly landscapes along the riverbanks as we glide through the calmer portion of the river.
After approximately one hour of river fun, we’ll reach Bruarhlod Canyon. There, those of us who crave for more spine-tingling experiences can leap from the cliffs and into the turquoise waters of Bruarhlod Canyon - a great finish to the adventure. Later, everyone will be invited to warm up in Drumbó’s sauna, try some locally cooked barbecue, or enjoy a glass of cold beer on the river’s edge.
