★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 438 reviews · 6 hours (approx.) · from $290Our pick

Drysuit rafting on Iceland’s East Glacial River Gorge from Akureyri. Small group, pro guides, Class IV action, all gear included.

“What a wonderful adventure. All four employees (guide, 2 recovery kayak and cameraman/recovery kayak) were enthusiastic, fun and very good at their jobs. We had beautiful weather. The level IV rapids were both challenging and exhilarating and the same time. We had a garage sale on the most difficult part of the rapids but we enjoyed every minute of it. I would definitely recommend this trip for anyone looking for a challenge.”

3.Top-Rated Family Rafting-Warm Drysuits, Volcanic Canyon, Epic Fun

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 411 reviews · 3 hours 30 minutes (approx.) · from $187

Family-friendly rafting in Akureyri, Iceland, with warm drysuits, hot cocoa from geothermal water, and gentle volcanic canyon rapids.

“Very well organised family rafting, with safety first, which was also great fun for our teenagers (17 and 15): they could sit at the front top of the boat in rapids, we could swim along the boat at a safe place and jump down a cliff (5m). Half way we drank hot chocolat with water from a hot spring. Very decent gear, top-guides (Maude and Pablo), very safe bus-driver (Gabriel) and a lovely lunch at the end (lamb from the BBQ, rice, baked potatoes and a salad😋) for 3500 Kr each.”
