Family rafting in Iceland’s volcanic canyon with warm drysuits, hot cocoa from geothermal springs, optional cliff jumps, and a 3.5-hour adventure.
“This was the first time I'd ever done white water rafting and I loved it. It was the perfect grade for my 7 year old who had a fantastic time. The team who took us out three boats of people were fantastic and made it fun for all of us, whether that was swimming down the river or cliff jumping optional!!!!, through to the good natured ribbing of people on the boats. I'd highly recommend it”

Got the option to jump from the cliff into the river (loved it!) and the beer in the hot tub afterward -- perfection! Oh, when I left my cell phone behind on the ATV shuttle, the agent I called returned it to my hotel that day. That level of service and kindness is unparalleled!”
Every kind of day out on the island, and the best of each.
