Are you interested in exploring one of the largest archipelagos in the world? Join us as we spend a week kayaking through the islands of Helsinki’s coastline.

We will spend 6 days at sea, exploring many of the 350 islands, islets and bays of the Helsinki Archipelago which is part of the larger 50,000 islands of the Finnish Archipelago. Each night we will set up camp on a different island, sleeping in tents and cooking hearty meals on the fire. Evenings will be spent exploring the islands, watching the sunset, chatting around the campfire, taking a sauna and a swim before drifting off to the sound of the sea.

Ready for an adventure?

Each day we will visit new islands, some tiny, some huge, experiencing their unique charm, flora and fauna, island culture and remnants of Finland’s recent history. Many of the islands are uninhabited, many have several summer houses and some have almost permanent island communities. We have the opportunity to experience a traditional Fininish sauna on many of the islands. We will pass breeding grounds of sea birds and hopefully spot eagles, ospreys and seals.

This is the perfect adventure for those wanting to explore the Finnish Nature by water. You don’t need to have any previous kayaking experience.
