Once all the tourists from the group are settled with necessary info, we will set out to reach our rafting site – the West Glacial River or Vestari Jokulsa. This river originates from the third largest glacier in Iceland and is a very popular rafting spot in the country accompanied by its sister – the East Glacial River. This river originates from the north-west end of the glacier Hofsjokull and head towards north. Running through quite a levelled area, it falls into the Throngagil canyon and goes through a narrow valley until it joins up with Hofsa river and after running from another valley, it joins its sister river – Austari Jokulsa or the East Glacial River.
