“The team; Hunter, Benjy, Tarzan, Pablo, Dennis… all made the experience extra fun and made us feel safe the whole time. Never a dull moment. Beautiful scenery. Staying Warm and dry in the dry suit was huge!”
Family-friendly Iceland rafting through a volcanic canyon with drysuits, hot-spring cocoa, optional cliff jumping, and Class II+ rapids.
“This was an excellent trip for our kids 10 and 12 who are novices at whitewater. The guides did a great job explaining safety rules, the equipment and how a boat works together to go through rapids. We had a great time drinking hot chocolate made from fresh volcanic spring water and jumping off of a cliff into ice cold glacier water thanks to the dry suits. My kids loved the day and were doing things I never expected like jumping off a cliff! Thanks Phil and the rest of the team for making our day safe and fun!!!”
Raft Iceland’s Hvítá River through Golden Circle scenery, then warm up in a sauna and hot tub. A fun first rafting trip for families.
“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!”

“ATV and RAFTNG - it doesn't get much better! Mariana was a fantastic guide on the ATV ride. And the rafting was amazing! 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!”
Combine whale watching in Faxaflói Bay with white-water rafting on the Hvítá River, plus gear, pickup, and a sauna reward.
“I give the whale watching 4 stars. They keep a good distance from the whales, so the few we saw were fairly far away. You could see a tail flip or a fin, but it was not the most exciting. At least we saw some! The WWR was great. A few decenRead more”
