SOR203

Riverboat Experience to the Alta Canyon incl. Transport to and from Sorrisniva

As we go further, the scenery begins to change. The mountains and rocky cliffs move in closer to the river, and the view becomes darker and more dramatic. We pass through several more rapids before reaching a place called Gabonakken, also known as Gabo. This is where the stunning Alta Canyon takes over the view — a truly unforgettable sight. 

This area also has an old local story. Fishermen used to make offerings here to a spirit named Gabokjerringa. If you look closely at the south wall of the canyon, you may see a shape that looks like her face. People say she likes expensive brown liquor. If fishermen don’t offer it to her, they say the salmon won’t bite!             

This is the longest riverboat experience offered by 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.

Availability subject to change based on water level in the river; tour may be canceled or rescheduled if water level becomes too low.
