Discover the natural beauty and flavours of Lake Saimaa while exploring the ancien rock art treasure
Step aboard for a scenic boat journey across the stunning waters of Lake Saimaa to visit the remarkable 6,000-year-old Astuvansalmi Rock Paintings. As the largest collection of prehistoric rock art in Northern Europe, these fascinating paintings offer a unique glimpse into the lives and beliefs of the region's earliest inhabitants.
During the cruise, your guide will reveal the stories behind the ancient images and explain how the Ice Age shaped the spectacular Lake Saimaa landscape we see today.
The boat ride to the rock paintings takes approximately 30 minutes, and you'll be welcomed on board with a refreshing drink. Surrounded by nature, you'll enjoy a handcrafted seasonal meal followed by dessert, prepared using the finest local ingredients. They proudly collaborate with nearby small-scale producers to showcase the authentic flavours of the region.
A composting toilet is available at the destination. As this experience takes place on the lake, the excursion is weather-dependent. If conditions are unsuitable, they will make every effort to arrange an alternative departure time.
