Midnight Sun Rafting and Night in the Wilderness

A warm summer day, birds chirping, water lapping and the amazing nightless night of Kuusamo all around you.

Come spend a day in the embrace of Oulanga National Park. First, together with a professional skipper, we descend Kitka River's seven magnificent rapids on a rubber raft. After 13 kilometers, nature's own roller coaster calms down to Pohjantähti wilderness camp, where you and your group will spend the next night.

At the camp you'll get to decide where you want to sleep; in a tent, in a hammock or under the open sky? Working as a team together with the guide, you will heat up a traditional Finnish wood sauna. With the help of the guide, you prepare a delicious campfire dinner together. After the dinner, it's time to enjoy the gentle heat of the two saunas. Don't forget to take a dip in the lake to cool off.

When the evening comes, your guide stays at the camp with your group for the night. You can choose how to spend the evening: go for a midnight swim or a kayaking trip, hike to admire the nightless night, try your luck fishing at Lake Juumajärvi, or simply relax and fall asleep to the soothing sounds of nature.

In the morning, the guide prepares a wilderness breakfast together with you. After breakfast, we will take a car transfer back to the starting point in the heart of Ruka village.
