Description

Type: Multi-day activity
* The tour "Three-day rafting on the Shuya River" originates in the village of Kindasovo, an ancient Karelian settlement whose name comes from the word "kind", which means "parking" in Sami. The village, famous in Karelia for its annual international humor festivals, is more than 500 years old. The life of Karelian villages is especially interesting for tourists from the Baltic States. Karelian settlements are scattered along the banks of the Shuya River along its entire length. Shuya is loved by tourists for her cool temper - there are six rapids in this rafting trip alone! Riding on the threshold of a Big Crowd is comparable to fun. The same kind of unrestrained fun only covers those riding roller coasters. Do you know what the name of the threshold means? "Tula" means "fire" in Karelian. And Tully is a mythical hero who once lived near the ancient Karelians. According to Karelian legends, Tully transformed into stone and water. If you want to relax with your company or go rafting on the Shuya River along a different route that you have developed, great! Please contact us first. The group must be at least 6 people. If there are more than 30 participants, you also need to notify us in advance. Children (from 6 years old) and teenagers participate in rafting on the Shuya River strictly accompanied by their parents. Important! The participants of the hike, under the guidance of instructors, help to set up camp, harvest firewood, and cook food.
