Amazing canyoning, not cold, guides were awesome - Amazing canyoning experience with exceptional guides. We did 4 rappels and had a cliff jump and water slide. The wet suits kept us warm in early June - amazing how warm we were in the water!! Loved the views and the short hike to the canyon as well. Highly recommend this tour.

Canyoning with Rich & Kish - Absolutely fantastic experience with Rich and Kish! My siblings and I embarked on a canyoning tour with them, and despite our lack of skill and experience, they made Icelandic canyoning unforgettable. Both guides were incredibly supportive and patient, ensuring we felt safe and confident as we repelled and jumped down waterfalls (and boy did we need a lot of help). Their expertise and enthusiasm were evident, turning what could have been a daunting experience into an exhilarating and enjoyable one. Even as my lack of balance occasionally gave me a heaping dose of “waterfall,” Rich and Kish's friendly and encouraging demeanor helped us push our limits and truly enjoy the beauty of the canyon. Highly recommend their guided tours for anyone seeking an exciting and well-supported adventure!

Great Experience - Kish and Rich gave a great experience of canyoning. They are quick to answer questions. During the trip, they gave good instructions and allowed for time to enjoy the trip. We enjoyed the low guide to participant ratio which allowed for less waiting time. Would definitely do it again.
