Join us for a safe and inspiring introduction to kayaking in the beautiful surroundings of Oravi! This 3-hour guided tour is perfect for beginners as well as those who have paddled before and want to enjoy a relaxed, short day trip with a professional guide.

You’ll start by learning the basics: how to use the equipment, essential paddling techniques, and key safety skills including self-rescue. With guidance from our trained and experienced instructors, you’ll quickly build confidence before heading out on the water.

The actual paddling takes place in the calm and sheltered waters of the Oravi canal area and the stunning Saimaa archipelago. Along the way, you’ll enjoy peaceful nature, scenic island views, and a relaxing coffee break on one of the islands.

This tour is suitable for everyone – no previous experience is needed, and children are welcome. All equipment is included, and all guides are first aid trained.

After the tour, you’ll have the skills and confidence to continue kayaking on your own – for example by renting a kayak or canoe in Oravi and exploring more of Lake Saimaa.
