People who have rafted the Zambezi, the Futaleufu, the Karnali come here and call it the best day they've ever spent on a river. That's not our claim. That's what keeps getting said. The East Glacial River runs 18 kilometres through a remote glacial canyon, 150 metres deep, no roads in, Class 4 rapids and plenty of rapids around every single corner. We've been guiding it for 30+ years and it still doesn't get old. Every guest gets a full drysuit, not a wetsuit - so you stay completely warm and dry the entire way through. Almost nobody else in the world does this on a glacial river. No experience needed. Just show up ready.

In one word... AWESOME!
The East Glacial River Gorge (Jökulsá-Austari) is the setting for our most action-packed and exciting rafting day tour. With spectacular deep canyon scenery and relentless heart-pumping whitewater, the East has been consistently rated one of Europe’s best rafting rivers and has topped popular guide books’ lists of "must-do's" in Iceland. One of the most remote single-day rafting trips on the planet, this whitewater adventure delivers an unforgettable journey into the untamed beauty of Iceland’s river wilderness. Combine that with a dose of adrenaline strong enough to satisfy the most powerful of cravings. For those traveling to Iceland with a thirst for adventure, this is a day tour not to be missed!
