Bakkaflöt River rafting tours & accommodation

River rafting in East Glacier river (Austari Jökulsá) is a unique experience that can be recommended without hesitation for anyone who dares and wants to step a little outside the comfort zone! This is a powerful river and perhaps not for everyone but it’s a great trip and something you will never forget. The guides have everything under control, know what they are doing and all the facilities at Bakkaflöt are exemplary. I want to go again!

It was the best river rafting experience ever. I have done many rafting trips around the world and I would rate it as my best experience because of 1) the guides are exceptional and very friendly 2) the river and scenery are stunning 3) we had a lot of fun and it was very adventurous 4) above all it was very safe

Professional guides, excellent equipment and drysuits that will keep you warm. Do try the cliff jumping – its fun!

We, a family of 5 (2 adults, 3 children age 11, 13,15) did the west glacial river rafting tour in July. As it is class 2/3, it is not the most adrenaline pumping rafting tour, but for my kids it was a first time, and a highlight of our Iceland trip.
Next to rafting, we had a 3m rock-jump into the river, some river floating and also hot-spring hot chocolate.
The hot tub after the trip was refreshing.
recommended.
