What an amazing experience! Sanna is very knowledgeable and helped me plan an amazing 2 night trip according to my needs and wishes. She went out of her way to organise a lift from and to Puumala. Highly recommended!

Andreas Solinger

Amazing experience with Sanna, the booking was easy and she was very reactive by email. On the d-day, everything was well prepared, from canoe to food. She adapted to our pace & level so we could achieve the 20km without any problems. The ride and landscapes she showed us were stunning, we can only recommend!!

Paddling around the year

Winter

From December to January, the lake is hidden under the ice crust for a while. Lakeside people can enjoy a new dimension and move on ice.

Spring

Ice will melt in the beginning of May at the latest, but there are often enough open water areas for canoeing even before that. If you have courage to paddle following the edge of ice, it will be an unforgettable experience.

Summer

June, July and August are our summer months. June is a feast of light and sun shines nearly around the clock

Autumn

Autumn has a very special atmosphere on Lake Saimaa. It is the best time for stargazing and moon watching, as there is no disturbing light or snow.
