Iceland • 11 miles / 17 km
The East Glacial River guide was created in partnership with GoRafting.com. The East Glacial River in Iceland is born out of the Hofsjökull Glacier in the highlands and descends north towards the coast. This river is the only major river on the island that is without a waterfall. Because of this it is an ideal river for many rafters and kayakers. The 17 kilometer (11 mile) day section of the East Glacial River carves deep into a remote gorge. As a result the constricting glacial water produces world class sections of continuous Class IV+ whitewater. Consistent flows, clean water, limited hazards and a big water feel make this the best section for rafting not only in Iceland, but all of Europe. If you are on a kayaking mission, this section is full of great boofs, big waves, and surfing.

About Our Partner
In 2020, Matt Volpert, Byron Roos-Collins, and Augie Houlemard joined together to form GoRafting.com . The three launched the project to publish detailed whitewater rafting and kayaking guidebooks for rivers around the globe. By pairing extensive professional guiding and expedition experience the GoRafting.com team has created modern guidebooks for many popular rivers. Whitewater excursions, whether single-day or multi-day, involve a significant amount of variables to be run safely, efficiently, and enjoyably. These are the factors that have driven the clear, and information-filled design of Gorafting’s guidebooks. The team is thrilled to partner with FarOut to take their whitewater guidebooks offline. Augie, Byron, and Matt spend most of their free time on river trips. So if you see them on the water say hello!
