River Rafting
Day Tours!
From 9.990 ISK
River Rafting has been one of Iceland’s most popular adventure activities for almost 30 years!
Our South rafting base at Drumbodsstaðir is located on the shores of the popular Hvitá River,
right in the Golden Circle! With daily departures at 10:00 and 14:00, experience river rafting
as a convenient day tour from Reykjavík or as part of an unforgettable adventure combo!
Our North rafting base at Hafgrímsstaðir is in the heart of Skagafjörður, Iceland’s whitewater
capital. Take the family for a scenic half-day float through the towering canyons of Vestari
Jökulsá, or put your nerves to the test with a full day of adrenaline- pumping whitewater action
on the world-famous Austari Jökulsá! Daily shuttle service available from Akureyri.

“According to the research paper ‘Attitudes To-
wards Whaling In Iceland,’ most participants
were pro-whaling, considered anti-whaling cam-
paigning to be ‘sentimentality on par with reli-
gion’ and expressed a belief that Iceland must
stand up to foreign pressure.”
Paul Fontaine argues that Icelanders like being
contrary more than they like whales.
“To be a cop is to denounce responsibility for
your most ethically questionable actions and act
out the most authoritarian ideas of society; to
align with the perpetrators of history and against
its victims; to monitor and control other people’s
behaviour while taking an indisputable stance
with nationalism, observation-society, bureau-
cracy and hegemony.”
We get the idea anarchist Haukur Hilmarsson
doesn’t like cops very much.
“There’s only one given if you’re the victim of a
tupilak attack: your entrails will be eaten. Or at
least some of your entrails.”
Considered yourself warned about this Green-
landic monster.

“Due largely to a harsh crackdown by the city,
the amount of graffiti seen on the streets as of
December 2012 has been reduced by nearly
half, to 22,000 square metres.”
Find out who’s winning Reykjavík’s war on
graffiti: the city or the street artists.
