Relaxing River Floating

River floating is an amazingly relaxing experience. Let go and leave behind the worries of everyday life. 

This adventure starts at our Safarihouse at the centre of Ruka Village.

After getting a floating suit, a life jacket and a helmet our guide takes you to the beautiful rapid Kiveskoski. After the safety instructions we go into the inviting stream of clear water. 

You get to float twice for the duration of 15 minutes in the slowly drifting river. Warm drinks are served after the floating.

This is definitely a bucket list thing you need to experience at least once in the wintertime and once in the summer!

Please note, that a minimum height of 150 cm is required for safety reasons.

This is an all year round activity.

Registration for the activity must be done by 4 p.m. the previous day.

Minimum group size on this excursion is 4 adults. If we are unable to reach the minimum size by 4 p.m. the previous day, the excursion will be cancelled and payment will be refunded.

All safaris begin and end at Rukapalvelu Safarihouse. 

We provide all the necessary equipment for the program. We recommend wearing your own outdoor-friendly clothes/woolen base layers, on top of which we will provide a winter suit, wool socks, winter boots, gloves, a balaclava, a flotation suit, a life jacket, and a helmet. We are happy to provide more information on suitable clothing.
