Kayaking and canoeing

Our neigbors at Saimaa canoeing offer both guided and independent tours. From their website:

“Welcome to canoeing and kayaking on Lake Saimaa! We offer local, versatile, responsible and sustainable services from beginners to experienced and seasoned paddlers all year round.

Our location is very central for your adventures, at the heart of the Saimaa archipelago, in Puumala.

You have many choices: you can paddle independently and follow our new, exclusive Saimaa Canoeing routes with payable services, you can go on a guided trip, learn skills on a paddling course, rent high-quality equipment, enjoy peaceful accommodation on a private island or surprise your friend with a canoeing gift voucher.
