The Amga River is one of the most picturesque rivers in the Sakha Republic (Yakutia), very rich in fish; species such as pike, perch, lenok, grayling, taimen, whitefish, and others live here.

The average speed of the river’s current is 0.5–0.7 meters per second. The riverbed is pebbly, relatively straight, with small riffles that pose no difficulty for navigation.

During the tour you can go fishing, pick berries, see ancient petroglyphs that are thousands of years old, and spot wild animals on the shore: hare, moose, wolverine, bear.
