Evening paddle and sauna in Lake Saimaa

Evening paddle and sauna in Lake Saimaa

Experience Lake Saimaa paddling in an open canoe. The evening ends with sauna in the wonderful landscapes of Saimaa!

The group meets at our farm, gather for a little initial information and enjoy a welcoming drink. After that, we are heading towards Yövesi. The total paddling distance is approx. 10 km. We try to keep the pace calm and take small breaks on the water and also pull the canoes to the shore and take a longer break in an island. There we have time to enjoy lunch, take a little walk or even a refreshing dip in the Lake Saimaa.

The route goes through the beautiful landscapes of Saimaa, following shoreline and small islets. It’s also possible that we’ll see ringed seal of Saimaa during the trip if we are lucky. After paddling a pre-heated sauna and evening meal awaits the adventurers.

This trip is suitable for people who has some paddling experience over the age of 15. You can get the paddling equipment from us, so all you need to bring with you is clothes suitable for the weather and change after sauna, drinking water and energy-rich snacks while paddling. Towels included.

Hand-crafted seasonal local food lunch on the go and an evening meal after the sauna includes the price. Safety instructions are followed and trained staff will guide you throughout the excursion

This experience is available from June to October. Starting time of the trip can be arranged according to the season and wishes. Total duration c. 6 hrs, paddling c. 3,5 hrs with breaks.

The length of the route can also be customized according to the wishes and skill level of the group, so the paddlers of all abilities can take part. There are also shorter routes near. For example paddling around nearby little island (about 1 hr paddling) or paddling to ‘Vuolteen kanava’, which is a beautiful old canal (about 2 hrs paddling). We are happy to prepare food for these trips also. Ask about pricing.
