White water canoeing is the perfect activity if your team is looking for a challenging adventure out in the Icelandic nature.
Our canoes are inflated and selfbailing, meaning that they do not fill with water and are easy to maneuver in the rapids. Two people sit together in the canoe and steer it, meanwhile a guide in a kayak or raft makes sure everything is safe and sound. We paddle down the Hvítá river which has a perfectly balanced mix of serene canyons and adrenaline pumping waves and rapids.
We travel for 7 kilometers and at one point participants get
to jump from a cliff into the river. We only recommend this trip to those looking for action and are in good physical condition.
The RiverRide is a great action trip, specially for those with some experience in rafting.

Note: Canoeing is very often booked for incentive groups where some have never rafted before and others have rafted often, i.e. some persons want adrenaline but others a scenic ride. In those cases, a part of the group can raft and the another part can canoe the same route down Hvítá river.
