As you’ve understood from looking at the pictures and reading the highlights, on this tour you will experience a relaxed canoeing trip with many mini-adventures!
In the morning we will be busy packing our gears and food in dry bags before loading everything in the canoes. When it’s all packed, we’ll paddle gently alongside the shore of the lake. Canoes are not made to go fast but are very stable and comfy which makes this adventure very children-friendly.
After a few hours of paddling on blue-green water, we’ll stop and unpack our canoes. For the bravest, a dip in the river will be appreciated! We’ll have time for more side adventures such as hiking an easy path to a viewpoint tower from which you can observe the endless forest and explore more lakes than from the canoe!
Itinerary:
- Pickup at meeting point and drive to the canoes
- Packing and introduction
- Lake paddling
- Rest periods, easy hike up to viewpoint and enjoy lunch and snacks
- Return to starting point

We were so happy with our hike. Ben, our guide, made it really special for us. He's very knowledgeable, he knew wild fruits and plants, mushrooms, and was as excited as we were with the hike! We hike on and off-trail, picked lots of berries on the way, went to a couple of lakes, had lunch around a campfire and had an amazing time. I recommend this to anyone keen on experiencing nature in Sweden.
