Beast of the East Whitewater Rafting

The fast flowing rivers of the East Glacial River gorge (Austari-Jökulsá) is the setting for our most challenging and action-packed whitewater rafting excursion, aptly named the “Beast of the East”! Consistently rated as one of Europe's best rafting rivers, this trip features the perfect combination of beautiful canyon scenery and continuous heart-pumping rafting. The East Glacial River is also frequently listed on popular Icelandic guide books as a “must-do” adventure. One of the most remote single-day rafting trips in the world, this whitewater rafting excursion offers an unforgettable look into the untouched natural beauty of Icelandic river wilderness. No prior rafting experience? Not to worry! Despite its fast paced nature, this trip doesn’t demand previous rafting experience. The ability to swim, readiness to get down and dirty with the hard physical work (paddling & swimming), and a strong desire for adventure are all you need to take on the Beast!
