Melonta seikkailu!Canoeing Adventure!

Finland is one of the richest countries in Europe in terms of the number of watercourses. Karu’s guides will take you on a journey to the Finnish lake district – a unique and partly protected region. The narrow rivers that wind through the wilderness and the dark lakes offer a breathtakingly beautiful setting for canoeing. Travelling in a canoe lets you slip through the water silently and truly be part of nature. On the Karu Canoeing Expedition, you can enjoy the colourful autumn or the waking spring in all of their beauty, and also learn important bushcraft skills. Go fishing, and prepare your catch over an open fire under the supervision of our guides.
