Info & Instructions

River Kitkajoki

The free-flowing, approx. 40 km long River Kitkajoki flows from Lake Kitkajärvi over the border to Lake Paanajärvi on the Russian side. What makes River Kitkajoki a great rafting river is small alteration in water level and versatile route options. There are numerous rapids suitable for rafting in River Kitkajoki, but we will pass the largest waterfall Jyrävä by foot.

Equipment

All our river rafting activities include rafting equipment (rubber boots, raincoat and pants, life jacket, and helmet), transportation and a trained guide. You can bring a dry change of clothes and change at our office after the rafting trip. We recommend bringing your own plastic drinking bottle that can be kept on the floor of the rubber raft. We do not recommend taking a phone, car keys, or anything water sensitive on the trip.

Payment options

We accept debit cards, credit cards and cash

Private river rafting

We can arrange coffee & snack, lunch at the river, or food service in our Lappish hut after your rafting trip.
