Private Night Kayaking Tour in Helsinki Archipelago
Experience the Nordic summer night on this private kayak tour in Helsinki. We paddle at a relaxed pace as the Eastern Helsinki archipelago quiets down. The setting sun paints the seascape in warm colours. The tour starts from Vuosaari and takes you out onto the Baltic Sea at an easy pace, with a relaxing snack break on one of the local outdoor islands—enjoy your food by a campfire.
A beginner-friendly night paddle in the East Helsinki archipelago
Helsinki’s summer nights offer a completely different way to see the archipelago: peaceful waters, soft light, and time to focus on the sea nature around you. You don’t need previous kayaking experience, but a good basic fitness level and general outdoor experience help you get the most out of the trip.
We paddle in stable, basic kayaks, and your professional guide will introduce you to paddling equipment and the basic technique along the way.
What to bring
Dress for the weather and pack an extra warm layer for the break. Since we stop on an island by a campfire, you can bring snacks such as sausages to grill. Also bring a warm drink and a water bottle.
