Have you already canoed in May in the waters where the Saimaa seals play? Come and join us look out for these seals in the water areas where they live, still fully respecting their peaceful existence. We do not always encounter them, but in May, in particular, it may be possible to observe Saimaa seals from a safe distance. Naturally, the nature of the Lake Saimaa has plenty of other sights and sounds to enjoy in May.
This is a full-day trip in a small group, leisurely paddling together with your pair in a double kayak. A double kayak is stable and safe and makes observation possible. We will land and have a soup and coffee or tea during our break. We will paddle total about 4 hours ca. 10 km.
Participation requires a good basic condition and also some previous kayaking experience.
