River rafting in Kuusamo is one of the most thrilling outdoor activities in Northern Finland. The crystal-clear Kitkajoki River, lively rapids and untouched wilderness create an unforgettable adventure close to Ruka and Oulanka National Park.
Rukapalvelu was founded in 1987, and already in the early years our founder Jokke Kämäräinen recognized river rafting on the Kitkajoki as one of Kuusamo’s most unique experiences. Since 1988, we have guided visitors safely through the river’s exciting rapids. With decades of experience, we combine strong safety standards, deep local knowledge and authentic northern adventure.
