Paddle down the Vantaa River in a sturdy double kayak!
The Vantaa River is a peaceful paddling environment suitable for everyone.
Melontaranta, located on the Tapaninvainio beach, is an excellent starting point for relaxed summer paddling trips. The Vantaa River flows slowly towards Helsinki, so even paddling upstream is easy. Weather and wind conditions may vary, but kayaking on the sheltered Vantaa River is pleasant even when the sea might be starting to get rough. Rent a kayak and set off on a day trip to Pikkukoski beach, for example!
