the rafting level 4 extreme was the highlight of our 14 days holidays in Iceland. We were very lucky as it was just the 2 of us and a team of 5 amazing people to make sure we were safe towards all the journey down the river. We went for the extreme experience and they gave us an extra Kick (only for the brave) I won't spoil what that is about but just go for it. (still laughing and a bit scared) the staff are very friendly and they have been doing this for many years cross countries, they know the river inside out and we felt very safe. when we finished they gave us a hot soup (very testy) and we were able to float into their warm swimming pool. they also gave us some towels as our were wet. thanks so much guys. see you soon in Iceland or in Nepal :)Our family of 7 (ages 11-51) had an amazing time!!!! Our guides were wonderful, the river rafting was exciting (but also relaxing and we could take in the beautiful surroundings), the hot chocolate delicious, and the swimming at the end was incredible!

Amazing extreme whitewater rafting that was so invigorating. Had to choose between family rafting and this- we chose extreme rafting and we are so pleased we did. Our Nepalese guide was absolutely brilliant and the boys enjoyed their jump in the water. Would definitely do it again. Would highly recommend to other people! It is definitely the number 1 thing to do in this area!By far the best experience we have had with guides to date. They were nice, including and very professional.

By far the best experience we have had with guides to date. They were nice, including and very professional. The rafting was a good experience and never felt unsafe. Drinking hot chocolate directly from the hot spring and small talking with the guides really added to the trip. Cliff jumping and enjoying the hot tubs afterwards topped it all off! Definitely the best place we have been on our journey so far. Would recommend everyone!! 12/10 points :-)We did the easier tour with two other people in one boat and it was really cool! 100 % recommendation! Also our boat guide gave great instructions and let us jump from a small cliff (~3 meters) into the canyon river. We also got everything he photographed / filmed with his GoPro 11 for 10 € p.P....
We did the easier tour with two other people in one boat and it was really cool! 100 % recommendation! Also our boat guide gave great instructions and let us jump from a small cliff (~3 meters) into the canyon river. We also got everything he photographed / filmed with his GoPro 11 for 10 € p.P. afterwards - also really worth it! Next time as a young fit couple we would go for the class 4 trip directly. The hot chocolate was also fantastic. Worth every cent. Thank you!!
