Girls only kayak tour
A multi-day kayaking tour in the mesmerizing Finnish archipelago. Girls only.
Welcome to join us on an adventure in Finland’s beautiful archipelago nature.
The first night is spent at the scenic Naawa Nature Camp in luxurious Tentsile tree tents where we enjoy a traditional Finnish wood-fired sauna and a delicious dinner cooked over an open fire.
We paddle through the labyrinth of islands that make up the Archipelago Sea National Park and spend the following nights on small coves with lapping waves as our bedtime song. The paddling pace is kept low during the days and gives us an opportunity to explore all the small bays and islands that we are surrounded by. The nature here is barren at first glance, but the islands still have one of the highest biodiversity in the country. Migratory birds gather here during autumn, the seals cozy up on warm rocks and unique small plants peek out between the rock crevices.
We cook the food during the trip together in a storm kitchen in the summer evening after we set up camp on yet another beautiful island and fall asleep in the tent to the sound of waves lapping and the wind.
