Adventure combo day trip in Iceland: Whale Watching from Reykjavik Harbor & River Rafting on the Hvítá River.

Trip difficulty: 2/5, easy.

Tour Highlights:- Whale Watching – River Rafting – Hvita River- Old Harbor

The day begins at the Elding ticket office by the old Reykjavík harbour where you will commence a magical journey into Faxaflói bay, surrounded by beautiful mountains. You will be guided by marine biologists to learn all about the amazing wildlife living in the bay. You will see the flourishing bird life such as puffins, gannets and guillemots.

After the venture out at sea you have time for a quick lunch. We recommend bringing a packed lunch or grabbing a burger at Hamborgarabúlla Tómasar at the beginning of the pier, right across from the ticket office.

From there we go to Drumbó River Base where you will get suited up with everything required to brace the glacial waters! Hvítá river descends from Langjökull, tumbles into Gullfoss and continues onwards to where we commence our rafting.

Hvítá has an ideal mix of fun rapids and serene canyons. We raft down 7 kilometers, through the beautiful Brúarhlöð canyon enjoying a view you can only see from a boat. No previous rafting experience is needed as this rafting trip is suitable for most ages and abilities. Rafting down Hvítá is one of the original Icelandic adventures, a trip of pure enjoyment!
