Like all our tours, this one starts in Varmahlið, from where we take the participants up into Austurdalur valley, about one hour drive. After a safety talk by the guides, we set off on an adventurous ride down the canyon, and tackle such rapids as "The lost of screaming lady" and the "Green Room", before paddling out into the calmer waters of the Heraðsvotn river. There, you can swim in the river and enjoy the Icelandic glacial water!
