Optional extras are a sense of humour and adventure 🙂
From the meeting point about 12 km away from Varmahlid, you will then take a 20 minute drive towards the West Glacial river. At the rafting start your trip leader will give a full safety brief. Once on the river we will enter the canyon with its high walls and amazing geology. Along the way we may stop for a unique hot chocolate and for a spot of cliff jumping for the brave ones.
