Summer night paddling on Lake Saimaa

Experience the magic of a summer night on Lake Saimaa on a relaxed guided canoe trip through the archipelago, with a peaceful shoreline break and no previous paddling experience required.

The trip includes a scenic break ashore for coffee, tea and a light snack, allowing time to enjoy the peaceful surroundings and the soft light of the northern summer evening. All necessary paddling equipment and guidance are provided.
