Kayak River Ride: Adventure on Hvítá River

Embark on the ultimate Kayak River Ride, a thrilling way to explore Icelandic nature. Cruising down Hvítá River in an inflatable kayak is both exciting and challenging. These kayaks are stable, easy to steer, and designed not to fill with water. You’ll navigate the river solo or with a partner, while expert guides accompany you in safety kayaks. Prepare for adventure—you may flip into the mighty glacial waters, but our professional guides are always nearby to assist.

Hvítá, or “White River,” originates from Langjökull glacier, Iceland’s second-largest glacier. Starting just downstream from Gullfoss Waterfall, this 7-kilometer journey offers a mix of exhilarating rapids and peaceful canyons. The roaring whitewater magnifies the excitement, while the serene Brúarhlöð canyon, shaped by volcanic activity and glacial forces, showcases the river’s quieter beauty.

After your adventure, unwind at Drumbó River Base. Enjoy the hot tubs, sauna, and a meal or drink at the River Restaurant—the perfect way to warm up and reflect on your unforgettable day. This Kayak River Ride is ideal for thrill-seekers in good physical condition, especially those with some whitewater experience.
