Product description

 

Our two days adventure is ideal for those looking to combine a real kayaking adventure as part of your holiday in Finland and Scandinavian Islands.

We offer two days of paddling with one night of wilderness camping including kayaking equipment, meals and local guiding. We take care of details so that you can relax and enjoy the surrounding nature.

Our journey will start from Kasnäs, which is centrally located at the edge of Archipelago National park offering us a huge variety of routes to select from. No matter what the conditions - we will always find a enjoyable and safe route to give you unforgettable nature experiences. During long summer days with just couple hours of twilight we can select the best times to paddle. There's no need to hurry with the midnight sun. Normally wind will pick up during the late morning hours and again calm down during the evening providing us safe conditions for paddling.

In two days you will get a good first glimpse of what this remarkable labyrinth of islands has to offer and there is a big certainty that you want to return soon to experience more of this unique archipelago.

 

Example itinerary

 

The Archipelago with its thousands of islands offers a huge variety of alternative routes. The route below is just one rough example of the two days Archipelago Kayaking Adventure.

Day 1:

We will start the day with hands-on kayaking course to provide you the required skills and make you comfortable to start our journey. We will start our journey by paddling towards Rosala fisherman village where we will have our lunch. 

After visiting the village we will paddle another couple hours to reach remote outer islands. On the way we will pass by numerous rocky islets where we might have changes to observe seals close by. With big certainty we will also have a change to see White-tailed Eagles and other Archipelagos native birds. 

We will pick our own little island were we will set our first camp. Stepping ashore barefoot onto warm, smooth rocks to set up camp for the night is an experience in itself. We will be camping on beautiful small islands although with enough space for everybody to have their privacy.

You will have plenty of time to enjoy the nature and relax. We can also give you some tips and tricks how to catch your own fish for the dinner. In the evening we will prepare a traditional Finnish dinner with self-smoked fish and fresh vegetables. 

Day 2:

We will explore the hidden waterways south of Rosala Island. As we get beck to inner archipelago you will be amazed of its flourishing flora compared to rough and colourful outer Archipelago flora. 

Around four o’clock we will reach our base in Rosala, where you will have a change to refresh and relax in traditional Finnish sauna. In the early evening we will take you back to Kasnäs or by request to your next destination to continue your adventure in Finland.
