We start our adventure at sea with an unforgettable trip into the world of whales and sea birds. Conveniently located in Reykjavik’s old harbor, a 20-minute journey with our boats will bring you up close to whales in their natural habitat. The various types of whales commonly sighted include minke whales, white-beaked dolphins, harbor porpoises and the popular humpback whales. The majestic fin- and sei whales along with the killer whales (orcas) are occasional sighted. We will be accompanied by sea birds such as gannets, guillemots, cormorants, kittiwakes, arctic terns, and many more. The trip also takes us past several islands inhabited by colonies of puffin – a great photo opportunity!
During the sailing you will be served a light lunch before taking to shore and strolling up to the Cintamani store on Laugarvegur 11. From there you will be picked up and driven to Drumbó Basecamp on the banks of Hvítá River. There we gear up for rafting on the white water river of Hvítá.
The river has a perfectly balanced mix of serene canyons and adrenaline pumping waves and rapids. We raft for 7 kilometers and at one point participants get to jump from a cliff into the river. For those looking for extra action the option of white water canoeing is available. Hot tubs and sauna after the rafting is included.
