Timber Rafting (Sweden)

Build and pilot your own timber raft for unique water adventures with wild camping

A Very Special Adventure

Learn To Go With The Flow

Timber rafting is a very unusual holiday indeed! Due to the special water conditions required (an unregulated river, wide and slow-flowing), the River Klarälven in Sweden is one of only a very few locations in the world where multi-day timber raft tours are possible.

Release your inner Huckleberry Finn to construct your own timber raft from nothing but logs and ropes, then pilot her down river, camping wild along the riverbank as you go. A childhood dream that can now come true!

"Ever since I went timber rafting as a teenage Scout in Sweden, I've loved this unique adventure - it's such a feeling of achievement to build your own raft and then set off downstream!

Timber rafting is a wonderful blend of relaxation and action - there are times when all you need to do is watch the world drift by, and others when you'll be working hard to navigate a turn or get yourself off a sandbank. There's just nothing else like it!"

An Experience On Many Levels

Timber rafting is an ideal outdoor adventure for adults, active families, school and scout groups. It's a challenge at times, but possibly one of the most unique and rewarding experiences you'll ever have!

For the standard tour, you'll cover 35-100km of the River Klarälven over 5 or 8 days (including an option to complete the route by a combination of timber raft and canoe).

If you'd like more of a helping hand, choose "Timber Rafting with Added Comfort" for a full-service alternative, or for a shorter trip, "Timber Rafting Taster" makes the perfect combination with our canoe tours in the area.
