Early in the morning, we will meet at our renting office (Lutontie 3, Saariselkä) and give you all equipments needed for rafting. Trip begins with transport from Saariselkä to the edge of Kuttura, a Sami village, where our fully equipped rubber dinghy waits you. On a paddling course, our experienced guides explain about the flow of the currents and the stony areas above the rapids and how to control the dinghy. Every dinghy is steered by professional river rafting guide. On our way to Kultala along the river Ivalonjoki, we stop for a break and listen to the nature's mighty sounds on the famous "Saarnaköngäs rapids". In Kultala, we enjoy light snack and explore Kultala Kruununstation museum area – the centre of the gold rush, which is known for its more than 100-years history of gold. The trip continues forward and next stop is at Sotajoen suupankki wich is also famous for its gold history. At Ritakoski we will have soup lunch. The trip end at Tolonen where we come ashore and will be transferred back to Saariselkä by car. Duration will be 12-14 hours depending on the water level of the river.
