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:
www.arcticrafting.is
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.
How do you like these offers?
