Fänforsen is 1 km long and descending 9 meters. Here we and our raft guides offer you a wet and exciting experience/ adventure in the big rapid. We start with some instructions regarding safety and paddling technique for the rapid. After that, we put wetsuits, life wests and helmets on, before finally grabbing our paddles and getting into the boats. We go down the rapid at least three times so that everyone will get a chance to be the ’front paddler’. This will take approximately three hours and guarantee you a wet and action filled adventure!

Kärringforsen, which is located further up the river from Fänforsen, is a bit longer and surrounded by beautiful nature. We would recommend you to do both rivers in one go, If you’re in the mood for a lengthier rafting expedition. In that way you’d get to warm up in Kärringforsen and then paddle along a stunning stretch of flat water before reaching the livelier Fänforsen.

The ducky is a self-emptying inflatable canoe for two people, used for both expeditions and rapids. It usually takes a little more time to paddle the ducky, so one would expect it to take closer to four hours depending on how many people are attending. It’s a more adventurous way to go through the rapid, with closer contact to the water which means more fun!

The river board will bring you down to the same level as the rapid, where you will be able to surf on the waves. Kitted with wetsuit, life west, diving flippers and a helmet you’ll be safe to enjoy all the river have to offer.

During our beginners course you get a chance to learn the basics of white water kayaking in calm rapids in beautiful nature. Our focus is to provide you with the confidence to feel safe and comfortable on the rapids.

You will practice basic paddle technique, how to get out of the kayak and then back into it, how to swim in a rapid, eskimo roll, ferry and safety practice.

Step by step you’ll learn different techniques and try bigger rapids. On the last day we’ll paddle a class 2-3+ rapid.

There’s a beautifully located forest camp site just next to the rapid. Bring your own camping equipment and food, we’ll make sure there’s a campfire. There’s a very cosy guesthouse in Björbo for those who don’t want to camp
