I'm planning a trip to Iceland in late July or early August and would like to spend a day paddling whitewater. So far all I've seen online are rafting, canoeing, and sea kayaking. When I've contacted these tour groups they all say the same thing: we don't offer whitewater and we don't know where you would find any info. Yet I've seen youtube videos of people whitewater paddling in rivers in Iceland, so I know it's being enjoyed by the locals. Can anyone tell me how to go about finding a place that rents whitewater equipment, and could provide info about rivers to paddle?
Iceland: whitewater river kayaking?

these are the people we used, Martha:

have you tried asking the Icelandic tourist board?
Arcticrafting told us they don't offer whitewater kayaking. The tourist board promotes the tour groups for rafting, canoeing, and ocean/stillwater kayaking.
looks like you'll have to do some research elsewhere.
Have you looked at the Iceland forum on Trip Advisor? someone there might be able to help.
