Private Canyoning in Vatnajökull — Trip Details

Your private canyoning adventure in Iceland starts with meeting your guides on location.

Your group will then get geared up before listening to a safety briefing.

We then set off through nurseries of trees planted by the local members of the Forestry Association of Austur-Skaftafellinga.

As we progress, you’ll get a fascinating insight into what it was once like to be a farmer in the shadow of Vatnajökull, Europe’s largest ice cap.

This trip is designed for people who can move with ease for half a day, including swimming confidently in the water and walking on uneven trails.

On the day, your guide(s) will demonstrate the techniques required to safely get down the canyon. You will also practise these before trying them for the first time.

You do NOT need canyoning experience for this experience.

We can accommodate groups with a maximum of eight people.

Come canyoning with us and we’ll make sure you have an incredible story to tell everyone back home.
