Kitkajoki River Rafting
Kitkajoki
Rapids rafting setting out from Käylä village, running through several stretches of the Kitkajoki River. It is one of Oulanka's most popular summer outdoor activities.
The Kitkajoki River flows east from Käylä through Oulanka, with more than ten rapids along the way. Local outdoor companies offer raft and inflatable boat trips. The classic route is about 14 km and takes 2 to 3 hours, with a stop at a riverside camp to grill sausages and drink coffee. The difficulty is moderate, no experience is needed, and waterproof suits and life jackets are provided. Trips depart daily in summer. Book in Ruka, and a shuttle will take you to Käylä, about 20 minutes one way.
