Arctic Rafting, is an adventure company based in South Iceland and Reykjavik. Their roots lie in the first adventure company founded here in Iceland, all the way back in 1985 and we have been rafting the same river from the same basecamp all those years...more then 20 year and still going strong! They have a awesome crew of guides, world travellers and talented leaders with a the spark of adventure in their blood.
Through the years they have added activities and adventures to their selection in the most natural way, they are adventurers and attics of the outdoors and like to bring our passion to the workplace!.
With out any doubt they have the largest selection of adventure trips in Iceland, from their great rafting trips to lava caving, trekking and glacier hikes to self-drive super jeep tours, winter expeditions and everything in between. You can be sure to find something extraordinary to do in Iceland with them.
Ævintýrafyrirtækið Arctic Rafting var stofnað árið 1997 og á þeim tólf sumrum sem síðan eru liðin höfum við safnað mikilli reynslu í rekstri ævintýraferða á Suðurlandi. Starfsemi okkar er byggð upp í kringum okkar mikilvægustu auðlindir, íslenska náttúruna og leiðsögumenn okkar. Þeir eru allir í fremstu röð íslenskra ævintýramanna, ferðalangar sem aldrei taka upp úr töskum sínum milli leiðangra og ferðalaga. Þeir kunna sannarlega að skemmta sér og öðrum
