Paddle on the Vantaanjoki River with a stand-up paddling board!
The Vantaanjoki River is a calm paddling environment suitable for everyone
Located at the Tapaninvainio beach, Melontaranta is an excellent starting point for relaxed summer paddling trips. The river flows slowly toward Helsinki, so even paddling upstream is easy. Weather and wind conditions may vary, but paddling on the sheltered Vantaanjoki is pleasant even when the sea might start to feel challenging. Rent a SUP and head out for a day trip, for example, to the Pikkukoski beach!
