River Rafting
Spring and summer are the seasons for river rafting. It is very exciting to be carried along with the rushing foam in a rubber raft or wooden boat.
If you’re more into rivers and rapids, take a look up north where fast-flowing northern rivers are in full flood. The famed Oulanka National Park in Kuusamo is home to some of Finland’s longest and most varied rapids.If a leisurely voyage sounds more tempting, you can cruise down more gentle rivers while admiring the scenery, birdlife and flora along the way. Rest stops, campsites and wilderness huts are aplenty by some rivers.
