This is the longest riverboat safari conducted from Sorrisniva. It follows the river as it winds through the wilderness and passes over several rapids.

Whilst the rapid passages are exciting our river boatmen ensure your safety. The safari passes through the Alta Canyon which is the largest river canyon in Northern Europe. Dress in warm clothes as the river water is cold creating cool breezes. Upon your return to Sorrisniva you will be offered refreshments including coffee and tea.
