Guided kayaking tour in the Eastern Helsinki archipelago
Book Thursday Paddling and enjoy a summer evening on the Baltic Sea
Thursday Paddling is an easy way to get to know the Eastern Helsinki archipelago. A professional guide plans the paddling route based on the group and the weather conditions. If you already have some paddling experience and would like to explore the Eastern Helsinki archipelago with a guide, Thursday Paddling is an excellent choice.
We paddle in a small group, enjoying the summer evening and beautiful coastal scenery. During the tour we take a short snack break on one of the local islands. Over the summer you’ll get to know Vartiosaari, Pikku Leikosaari, Kalliosaari and other recreational islands popular with paddlers.
Natura Viva’s weekly paddling tours are the choice for active outdoor enthusiasts
On this tour we paddle roughly 10–15 kilometres. We hope that participants have completed a basic paddling course or at least paddled a few times before. On a guided paddling tour you’ll meet other outdoor lovers and are sure to learn something new about paddling and the surrounding archipelago.
On the tour we use kayaks from the Vuosaari Paddling Center. Our selection includes both touring kayaks and more stable basic kayaks.
