Canyoning under Vatnajökull - Half-day



Canyoning under Vatnajökull - Half-day

A fun ½ day trip with rappelling, jumps & slides in a river canyon! Perfect on a sunny day or even a smart way to do an activity on a wet & windy day where you can embrace the elements by jumping, sliding and abseiling in waterfalls and blue pools beneath the Vatnajökull Ice Cap.

We begin by meeting on location, getting you geared up and briefed on safety. As we set off we will walk through the nurseries of trees planted by locals of the Forestry Association of Austur-Skaftafellinga. Along the way you will see what it would've been like to be a farmer at the foot of Europe's largest ice cap, Vatnajökull.

This trip is built for all who can move with ease for half a day, walking on uneven trails and being confident in water. We will take you through and practice the techniques that will be required to get down the canyon safely on the day. Canyoning experience is NOT necessary.
