What you can expect

Begin your adventure by cruising past the historic Christiansholm Fortress. Admire the old stone walls and cannons that have guarded the city and the river mouth for centuries.

As you leave the harbour behind and glide up the river, watch as the landscape changes completely. Enter a peaceful world surrounded by fascinating hills covered in lush green forests. See the trees reflect in the calm, clear water, creating a beautiful emerald atmosphere.

Wildlife and Heritage
Keep your eyes open as you navigate the river. If you are lucky, it is possible to see wild salmon jumping near the boat. Especially during the summer months (June to August), you might witness a glimpse of the salmon’s incredible journey as they migrate up the river to spawn.

Learn about the rich history of the waterway. In former times, the Otra was used for log floating. It served as the main transport route for heavy timber, floating logs from the deep forests down to the coast to build ships and houses.
