Paddling
Our hikes take in the numerous rivers, ponds and different lake-types of Lakeland Finland. Paddling is the best way of becoming acquainted with this Finnish treasure. The Indian canoe originated from the Indians of North-American; they made their canoes primary from bark. Irrespective of the common belief, the India canoe is a fascinating and stable boat.
You can easily take more gear with you, enabling you to do longer treks. Our canoes seat up to three people. We have a number of paddling treks planned, but will also tailor-make a trek to suit any special interests you may have.
