5.00The rafting centre is very cool with a chilled vibe, bar, bbq area and amazing changing facilities. Anjun, Damien and Roger are all excellent and provide the best experience both at the centre, on the bus and on the water. Definitely add the bbq to your booking as after the rafting and hit tub you’ll be starving! Epic day - you won’t regret it! Thanks team and safe travels home at the end of the season xx
So much fun

5.00This company is the best. Only one that would pick us up in Selfoss and drop off in Reykjavik. Staff was excellent, friendly, helpful and fun. The rafting was great and hot tub and dinner an added bonus. I would highly recommend

Fun Rafting, with rock jumping included, comforting showers and Jacuzzi and to top off anyone who wants pmyou can eat in a very quiet natural place. We'll repeat.
Just a great experience

5.00The tour takes about 1-1.5 hours. We arrived at the end of August. The equipment was great! You get a neo and a jacket to put on, you are so well protected from the cold. In the summer, that was definitely no problem. Rafting is very suitable for beginners. The guides are totally friendly and in a good mood and there is plenty of nice things to see on the river. It is worth it!!
Fantastic day on the river

5.00Fantastic day on the river, Caitlyn and Danny were great guides with an easygoing manner and a good knack for getting us right in the best part of the rapids! And sitting in a HOT tub with a COLD beer was a great way to cap it all off!
A "must do" activity in Iceland

5.00Our family of five found this activity and decided to incorporate it into our Golden Circle Tour. We are so glad we did, as it was probably the highlight of our trip in Iceland. We did it in mid-August, so it was a little cold and wet, but the wetsuits keep you pretty insulated. Our family of five are all adults and we weren't sure if this would be "exciting enough" since it's only rated at level two Rapids, but it was just enough to make it fun without being too risky. Our tour guide was excellent. She was extremely professional, safe, and informative. The river that we were on was simply stunning. We couldn't believe that we were riding down a river in such a beautiful and unique place. After the Rapids, it was nice to wind down in a sauna and hot tub and have a refreshment to warm back up. We highly recommend doing this if you have the time. Actually, make the time! You won't regret it.
MUST GO!!!
