The East Glacial River (Jökulsá-Austari) is the setting for our most action-packed and exciting rafting day tour. With spectacular deep canyon scenery and relentless whitewater, the East River has been consistently rated one of Europe’s best rafting rivers and topped popular guide books’ lists of “must-do’s” in Iceland.
There is a daily river shuttle service from Akureyri, which departs daily at 7:30 from Akureyri Backpackers and returns around 16:30. Please make sure to book your seat beforehand.
All clothing worn on the river should be of a material that keeps its insulating ability when moist. We highly recommend fleece, wool, and synthetic materials. DO NOT WEAR COTTON, so NOT your jeans and favourite hoodie! Please also bring another dry set of clothe for wearing after the rafting in case you get wet.
