Rafting
White-water Rafting on the Kalix River
A tour for the entire family, including opportunities for swimming, surrounded by beautiful scenery along one of Sweden’s last unregulated wild rivers. With modern equipment and boats adjusted to the size of the group (maximum of 8 people/guide), every day is a wonderful experience on the serenity of the water.
At the river’s shore, everyone is equipped with a wetsuit, helmet and life jacket and given thorough instructions on safety routines. The boats are paddled and everyone participates in the voyage downstream. After passing the rapids at Mukkakosi, we go ashore for sandwiches, beverages and coffee. At a deeper part of the river everyone will have the opportunity to test the support of the life jackets. The tour concludes with lifting the boat onto a trailer, and travelling by bus back to Camp Ripan.
