Gentle rapids, stunning scenery, and natural riverside hot springs make the West Glacial River the perfect playground for paddlers of all ages! Float through the spectacular glacial canyons and experience Iceland beyond the reach of motors and foot.

We had a thoroughly enjoyable trip with Viking Rafting on the West Glacial River! All the staff members were extremely welcoming, especially Anup who showed us around when we arrived. We camped at the company location. The valley where the raft company is located is beautiful! Our guide, Benjy, introduced himself the night before our trip and described the trip and other details about what to wear under the dry suit. The dry suits were great and we all stayed warm! Benjy was an extremely experienced guide, super friendly, and knowledgeable about the river and area. There was a special hot chocolate treat midway through the trip which was very fun! Pablo kayaked along with the raft and took wonderful photos which we are grateful to have!

Lucas Hunter and Rosan were amazing guides. They instilled confidence and safety in the group. The scenery was awesome. We jumped into the water from a rock and swam alongside the boats. A very memorable experience

Rafting was an awesome experience. We were all first timers and we had a blast. The cliff jumping and swimming was the cherry on top. Benj, Roshan, and Lucas were awesome guides.

That was an unforgettable trip.
The super friendly team brought us closer to nature in a special way. It was an incomparably beautiful trip that gave us one of the best holiday memories.
Highly recommended.

The best organized excursion I’ve ever been on. The logistics, instructions, and personnel are top notch. We had so much fun with Benji our guide and Hunter our spotter (and Gabriel our driver!). It was educational, exhilarating and 100% safe. We had so much fun - the paddling, floating in the river, hot chocolate from a hot spring and cliff jumping are beyond words. It was the best part of our 10 day Iceland trip. Benji and the crew are hysterical. Definitely worth it. I wish we could do it again today!

I would have liked to do the Class 4 river (but kids under 18 are not allowed) so I booked the family-friendly trip instead down a Class 2+ section of the Glacier River for my family, including my 80+ year old parents and my adolescent boys, and was not disappointed! It was a blast - the whole team very friendly, humorous, professional, qualified, and super understanding and helpful with my parents. We all got outfitted with dry suits, were given a safety briefing, told the commands and how to sit/behave on the raft, and were treated to not only stunning scenery and a fun river ride, but some nice surprises as well - hot chocolate out of a natural warm hot spring riverside and jumping off a cliff into the ice cold water, which my two sons eagerly did! Dreaming of coming back again in a few years to do the other arm of the Glacier River!

A great day on the river with professional and friendly guides. Would love to come back another time for the grade 4 for a bit of an adrenaline rush. If you want to get wet, ask to sit at the front of the boat (or take up the option of going for a river swim).

Had an amazing trip rafting though a beautiful canyon! We really liked the stop for hot chocolate from a geothermal spring. We went as a couple because we wanted a shorter, less intense experience and really enjoyed it. The food was also very good and I would highly recommend getting lunch or dinner from them when you get off the river. I was expecting soup and bread but it ended up being a full meal with local ingredients that tasted better than some of the restaurants we went to in Iceland. Highly recommend this rafting trip!
