Whales Watching and White Water Rafting
Adventure combo trip in Iceland.Whale watching from Reykjavik Harbor & river rafting on the HvÃtá River.
We start our adventure at sea with an unforgettable trip into the world of whales and sea birds. Conveniently located in Reykjavikââ?¬â?¢s old harbour, 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 ââ?¬â?? a great photo opportunity!
During the sailing you will be served a light lunch before taking to shore. From the harbour you will be picked up at 12:15 and driven to DrumbÃ?³ Basecamp on the banks of HvÃ?ÂtÃ?¡ River. There we gear up for rafting on the white water river of HvÃ?ÂtÃ?¡.
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.
Guaranteed departures: Everyday at 9:00 AM from Reykjavik harbour. Available from the 15th of June - 10th of September.
In the shoulder seasons (15th of April - 15th of May and 10th of September - 1st of October) the Whales & White Water is available for minimum 4 persons. If you are only two persons, contact us to join another group.
