Overview

Brace yourself for wild rapids, epic views, and pure adrenaline. The East Glacial River isn’t just another rafting trip—it’s Iceland’s crown jewel of whitewater adventures. Tearing through one of the most remote single-day river routes on the planet, this ride hits hard with action and scenery that’ll blow your mind.

Worried about the icy water? Don’t be. We gear you up with a magic DRYSUIT that keeps you warm, dry, and totally in the moment—so you can enjoy every splash without freezing or feeling miserable.

No wonder the “East” keeps topping the charts as one of Europe’s best rafting trips and a must-do in Iceland.
