Ruka-Kuusamo’s wild rivers are made for rafting adventures. The stunning river routes take you to a national park with unique nature sceneries.
You can choose between the shorter and easier family route or go for the full day wild route. Either way, you will be in good hands of a trained skipper and be able to enjoy the lovely scenery en route.
Duration: from 3 hrs
The rafts seat up to eight persons, so this is a great activity to do privately with the family or group of friends.
Discover one of Finland’s most breathtaking rafting destinations – the free-flowing River Kitkajoki. Stretching approximately 40 kilometers, this pristine river begins at Lake Kitkajärvi and flows across the border to Lake Paanajärvi in Russia.
What makes River Kitkajoki truly exceptional is its stable water level, ensuring safe and reliable rafting conditions throughout the season. Its diverse route options cater to everyone, from first-time adventurers to experienced rafters. Along the way, you’ll encounter a wide range of rapids – from gentle currents to thrilling whitewater – offering the perfect balance of excitement and enjoyment.
River Kitkajoki is more than just a river – it’s an unforgettable experience in the heart of untouched northern wilderness.
