Destination Highlight: The Golden Circle and White Water Rafting

<p>Launch your raft on the glacial Hvit&nbsp;River for a thrilling ride through crashing waves and surging rapids, through a river canyon covered in shrubs and basalt rocks of various formations. Follow the river to the magnificent Bruarhlod canyon, a narrow gorge where more daring participants can jump from a cliff into the river. After the exciting river-rafting trip, relax with a sauna or shower at the base camp and refuel with a satisfying lunch. On this tour, marvel at the three highlights of the Golden Circle: Gullfoss waterfall, Geysir geothermal area and Thingvellir National Park. On average, water flows over the beautiful and mighty Gullfoss at an impressive 3,800 cubic feet per second, with the flow in summer rising to astounding 4,591 cubic feet per second. One of Iceland's most popular attractions, the Geysir area contains more than 10 hot-water blow holes, some of which regularly erupt, launching water 100 feet into the air. Thingvellir National Park is the only place in the world where visitors can walk between the tectonic plates of North America and Eurasia. The park was also a filming site for HBO's Game of Thrones .</p>
