Polar Rafting Adventure Umba River on Kola Peninsula (7 days)

 

Raft 5 days full of action on the longest wild water track of the Kola Peninsula.

 

The Kola Peninsula has more than 100.000 rivers and lakes with many islands. The Umba River flows from the centre of the Kola Peninsula 150 km downstream to the White Sea and has many white water parts. Rafting enthusiasts know that and that makes the Umba River well know. Here in the North we use catamarans instead of rafts. Catamarans have two rubber floaters connected by a trampoline, are smaller then usual rafts, are very safe, carry 2 or 4 participants depending of the model and carry the luggage on the trampoline.
