This was a great rafting trip for our pre-wedding group. This Finland rafting organization was very professional and showed us a great time. It took you down the rapids 2 times: once just to get the feel of it and the second time doing maneuvers to show off the skill...or not! It was a great adventure and a little wet for a few on the second trip down the rapids. Thanks to Risto and company for showing us a wonderful time!

5. Tornio Golf

Reviewed By Hapaa - Naantali, Finland
It is a strange golfcourse, as several ways. It is located in two countries area. When you hit the ball in one hole, the ball is in the air over one hour. That's because green is in other countrys area. There is waterhazards almost every hole and playing is very hard. If you hit straight, you have no problems, but a little miss to left or right, your ball is probably in water. If it is very windy, playing is even harder. That course is once in the lifetime course.

Saamelaisuus puvussa ja maisemassa oli maaliskuisen 2017 näyttelyn teema.
Oli mielenkiintoista tutustua saamelaisaiheiseen näyttelyyn, joka on ollut minulle hyvinkin vieras asia. Tämä näyttely tarkasteli moninaisella tavalla saamelaisuutta.
Näyttelyssä oli myös valtaväestöön kuuluvien taitelijoiden töitä.
Suosittelen.
