See the full majesty of Gullfoss Canyon on this exciting and picturesque rafting tour! The river has the best combination of impressive, steep canyons and fast flowing rapids and waves. During the tour, we will bypass the stunning Brúarhlöð (Bruarhlod) canyon, and here is where travelers have the chance to jump off a cliff into the river, followed by a stop at the rafting base where a relaxing hot shower and sauna awaits. The Golden Circle has many more attractions than just our famous rafting base including Geysir geothermal area, home of the original erupting “geyser” and his little brother Strokkur. Don't miss the unforgettable experience of seeing superheated water exploding from the ground up to 25 meters high. Gullfoss, regarded as the most famous of Icelandic waterfalls is another unmissable spot on this tour of the Golden Circle.
