The tour starts at the bridge
over the River Kalix, taking you down the river to Ronassuando. The
highlight of the tour is without a doubt Piiilikurkkio, a category
3 rapid requiring concentration and skill on the part of our rapids-shooting
guide.
The tour passes through a beautiful and varied river landscape, dominated
by birch forest and mixed forest of birch and pine. The area is rich
in bird life and we will probably see a number of different species
of waders and seabirds.
If we’re in luck, we
may also see elk and reindeer grazing by the river. We go ashore at
a suitable spot to enjoy coffee and sandwiches around an open fire.
All our tours are accompanied by a well-trained and experienced rapids-shooting
guide. Several of our guides have more than 20 years’ experience
of rapids-shooting. The guide’s primary task is to find the
correct and safest descent through the rapids but also to make sure
that you get your share of the back-to-nature experience, thrill and
culture of the river valley!
