River rafting on the Markarfljót River in Iceland.
Trip difficulty: 3+ out of 5 possible
River
rafting on the Markarfljót River, through its towering and magical
canyon, surrounded by glaciers on three sides, is our most scenic trip!
The trip starts deep in the interior of Iceland and we use a specially
equipped vehicle to get there. The canyon is 50 meters deep where we
start and it gradually lowers until we cruise past the lush Thorsmork
valley. The river has a great supply of medium sized waves and rapids.
This is your chance to have a unique trip where you can enjoy the
majestic nature and at the same time tackle it!
