The Family Route is a perfect training route for newcomers

We meet at Käylä to gear up, and then the rafting adventure will begin!

We will shoot seven rapids on the Käylä – Juuma route. The first three rapids on the route – Käyläkoski, Vähä-Käylän koski and Vääräkoski – are Class I rapids according to the international rapid rating system. Navigating these calmer rapids is a good way to get a feel for rafting.

After passing the Vääräkoski rapid we will head to the Class II rapids on the Family Route, where we will pick up speed. Shooting these rapids may bring splashes of water to your face! The second to last rapid is the fastest rapid on the route: shooting the Harjakoski rapid will make you feel the charm of rafting! The last rapid on the route will be calmer, and below it the outboard engine will take us over the short distance to the end of the route near Juuma. Transport by car back to the meeting place.

Whitewater rafting on the Wild Route!

Whitewater rafting on the Wild Route!

Every day at 3pm or by reservation, Juuma

River Rafting Adventure Wild Route will take to the finest rapids of Kuusamo.

We will meet at Retkietappi, in Juuma, where we will gear up and the adventure will begin. At the start of the trip we will warm up by conquering the Niskakoski rapid. Rated as Class II in the international rapid rating system, this rapid gives you a nice challenge for the beginning. After that we will go on to the fastest leg of the Wild Route! First there is the Myllykoski rapid (III-IV). The rapid starts with a waterfall, after which the river flows briskly on to the left. Over the next 50 metres the drop is 5 metres, so there will be lots of churning whitewater to pass through!

After Myllykoski we will carry on to one of the biggest rapids to shoot in Finland: Aallokkokoski! This almost 900 metres long Class IV rapid brings you speed and challenges – following the skipper’s instructions, the paddlers will work as a team to cut through the haystack waves typical for Aallokkokoski. After conquering Aallokkokoski, the feeling of success is wonderful!

Next will be Jyrävä, which we will pass by on foot. The raft will be sent empty down the foaming waters of the Jyrävä waterfall – from the shore it is great to witness the power of the water in the fall.

From Jyrävä our rafting adventure will continue towards the Vattumutka bend. Many Class I-II rapids, and the gorgeous sceneries of Oulanka National Park are relaxing and calm the mind. Here, the lower part of River Kitkajoki meanders through steep gorges and the rapids are quite long. We will take our time, float on downstream and enjoy the tranquillity of nature. At Vattumutka we will go ashore, leave the raft and hike some 500 metres to the car. Please note that there are lots of stairs on the way. Transport by car back to the starting point.

Great Whitewater Rafting Adventure

Great Whitewater Rafting Adventure

Departures every day at 15:00 from Juuma

We will meet at Retkietappi, in Juuma, where we will gear up and the adventure will begin. We will start the adventure by conquering the Niskakoski rapid. According to the international rapid rating system, Niskakoski is a Class II rapid. Below Niskakoski opens the wildest stretch of our adventure! The Myllykoski rapid (III-IV) starts with a waterfall and there is a 5-metre drop over the next 50 metres, so there will be plenty of splashes ahead!

After Myllykoski we will shoot down the biggest rapid of our trip. It is time for the famous one: Aallokkokoski! The drop over this almost 900-metre long Class IV rapid is 21 metres, so prepare for some high-speed rapid shooting! All paddlers will work as a team to cut through the haystack waves typical for Aallokkokoski. After the conquest of this wild rapid, the feeling of success is wonderful!

We will pass the Jyrävä waterfall on foot and move downstream to watch the journey of the ghost boat down the foaming rapid. From the shore it is great to witness the power of the water in the fall.

From Jyrävä, our Great Whitewater Rafting Adventure will continue towards Harrisuvanto. We will shoot down several long Class I-II rapids, leisurely in a relaxing atmosphere. Here, the lower part of River Kitkajoki meanders through steep gorges and the rapids are quite long. We will take our time, float on downstream along River Kitkajoki and enjoy the tranquillity of nature.

After three kilometres of rapid shooting we will stop at Harrisuvanto for a picnic lunch. We will make some campfire coffee and glow-fry sausages in the fire. After the break we will carry on for two kilometres to Pähkänä.

At Pähkänä we will hike up to the Pähkänäkallio cliff. If you want, we will stop to admire one of Kuusamo’s most picturesque places, Pähkänäkallio cliff, from where we will continue our journey towards the car. The total distance of the hike is about one kilometre, but it includes a steep climb – participating in the hike requires reasonable physical fitness. Transport by car back to the starting point.
