Your tour starts at the meeting point at the rafting base camp in Hafgrimsstadir, around 68 miles (110 kilometers) from Akureyri. There, you will meet your rafting guides and the other guests on the tour and hop aboard a vehicle that will take you to the river.

Vestari Jokulsa, or 'The West Glacial River,' is fed by the mighty Hofsjokull glacier and winds down a relatively flat land, making this excursion perfect for young adventure seekers. The tour is ideal for families with children over the age of six.

The river flows through a stunning canyon and past beautiful valleys, providing a scenic journey, and you can enjoy the view of your surroundings as you paddle.

You'll get striking views of basalt cliffs and untouched terrain. The river's waters, colored by glacial silt, carry the story of Iceland's powerful geology.

Before you board your boat, your guide will give you a quick guide to river rafting and some thorough safety introductions.

You will also receive all the safety gear needed for the excursion, such as a helmet, booties, gloves, and a drysuit. Wear warm, waterproof clothing to enjoy your rafting experience fully.

Then, it is time for your water adventure to start. You will board an inflatable raft and rush down the river, which snakes through a dramatic canyon and past green valleys. You will experience splashing waves, gentle rapids, and spectacular scenery.

You don't need to be able to swim to enjoy this exciting kayaking tour, but you must be comfortable floating in water. The tour will be a combination of adrenaline-fuelled rafting and relaxing paddling.

As you travel, you can engage in a friendly water fight with the other boats and even take a dip in this glacial river. Don't worry, your drysuit will keep you warm. After you return to dry land, you can warm up with a complimentary hot cocoa made from natural spring water.

At the end of the tour, you can change your clothes and head off to continue your adventures in Iceland or travel home.
