Excursion Summer day in koiteli with white water swimming tour at Oulu

Cruise line: Silversea
Difficulty:

Experience a summer day in the Koiteli white water area during this five-hour relaxing trip to the beautiful River Kiiminkijoki. Koiteli in the Saami language means to be in the center - in the center of the white water and centered in yourself.


Embark from the pier for the 30-minute drive to Koiteli. Listen as your guide introduces you to the facts and features of Oulu today. Arrive at Koiteli and take a short walking tour through the forest. Be immersed in nature and the history of pine tar production and sawmills that have played such important roles in the history of Oulu region.


Jump into the river for an exciting swimming experience that tends to bring up a variety of feelings. Commit to the ride, release any fear of the noisy, wild white water, and let yourself float buoyantly downstream in what has been described as a magical experience. As the churn of the rapids grows stronger, ride the waves to the end and you may think, "Let's do it again!"


Enjoy coffee or tea and traditional Finnish pastry.
