The Kayak Season Pass lets you paddle independently at eight Natura Viva kayak points around Helsinki and in two Southern Finland national parks – whenever it suits you. Book by phone, pick up your kayak yourself and head out, even outside opening hours. We buy, service, store and transport the kayaks; you just paddle.
